I am trying to break down the grammar and vocabulary in the song "Kimi no shiranai monogatari" from Bakemonogatari. I am having trouble with the word 言えなくて (ienakute).

楽しげなひとつ隣の君 (Tanoshige na hitotsu tonari no kimi)

私は何も言えなくて (Watashi wa nanimo ienakute)

What is the grammatical function of 言えなくて (ienakute)?

I know that the negative te form can be used in phrases such as:

~nakereba narimasen - It’s not right not to do something (to have to do something)

~nakute mo ii desu - It’s fine not to do something (do not have to do something - permission)

and also to say that something is not something, it is something else...

But this does not fit the translation here. What is the actual function of using this form here?

Tasukete kudasai!

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

(koko zo to iu toki)

It's from K-On's ending song "Don't Be Lazy"

I'm translating it, and I suspect that this is an idiomatic phrase, but I cannot find it online.

The lyrics' translation says "here and now"

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

I need to call my friend in the Netherlands, but I don't know any Dutch. Can you please tell me what is the proper way to ask:

Hello, I am a friend of ___. Is he there? May I please speak with him?

Also, is there anything I should do / should not do out of respect when calling someone on the phone? What is culturally proper?

Thank you in advance!

I am having a hard time with the meaning of the word 分かってるって = wakatterutte. I know it comes from the verb 分かる = wakaru. What does the word mean in this form? What is the grammatical form being added to this verb? Can you use this form on other verbs too?

Please give me all the grammatical information as you can please, no matter how difficult.

I am trying to grammatically analyze the lyrics of "Rolling Star" by Yui (The 5th opening of Bleach.) I am having a hard time with the word してらんない = shiterannai. It looks like shite is the te form of suru and it has the plain negative ending "nai." But this word seems like it has an idiomatic meaning which I cannot locate in the dictionaries. Is there a "ran" form in Japanese? Please give me all the grammatical information as you can please, no matter how difficult.

Yoroshiku onegaiitashimasu!!

もう我慢ばっかしてらんないよ

言いたい事は言わなくちゃ

帰り道夕ぐれのバス停

おちこんだ背中にバイバイバイ

君のFighting Pose 見せなきゃ oh oh

I would like to find it using selectable text so that I can look up the individual Kanji with Rikaichan, an online pop-up dictionary. I was able to find the lyrics here: http://www.kashinavi.com/song_view.html?33353

but I cannot select the text. If you can either tell me a workaround for selecting the text, or actually retype the lyrics for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Of course, if you know of a different place to get this song, that would be great too.

I love this j-hiphop / j-rap song!

I am creating a lesson plan that uses pictures of famous Mexican people to teach eye and hair colors in Spanish. I am stuck on famous bald people. Can you help me out? I need at least two.

¡Gracias por la ayuda!

In America, popular animals to keep are dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes, turtles and rabbits. What animals are popular to keep in Mexico?

Please answer only if you live in Mexico or used to live in Mexico.

also can you say:

Mis ojos son azules?

¡Muchas gracias!

My sensei wrote this letter to me. She overreacted big time to something I said to another student in class that I didn't send privately by accident. I can't read it all - please help!

きょうは、気持ちの整理がつかなかったため、出て行ってもらいました。

来週は、私の気持ちに整理がつくようなら、

ぜひ出席して下さいね。

もし、気持ちの整理がついたら、

ご連絡いたします。

連絡がなければ、ご縁がなかったということで、ご理解ください。

申し訳ございません。

On the weekends, her boyfriend stays over, but she works at 8 am and leaves early. He stays sleeping in her room and then leaves after 12 pm. I asked her to have him leave when she leaves because he is her guest, not mine. He isn't hanging around the house (although he did once), he gets up has some coffee and leaves.

She called me selfish when I asked. What do you think? Am I being selfish? Or do I have the right to an empty house when other rent payers are not home?

For example, if something cost $34.56, how would you say that? Would you say "Cuesta 34 pesos y 56 centavos"? or something different.

Thanks!

Everywhere online I look it says they are two different ways to say tomato, but I have a recipe from Mexico that asks for both as separate items.

Tiene que haber una diferencia entre los dos. Por favor, escriba solamente si conoce bien la cultura de México.

Juunen no toki wo ikiru koto ga

Konna ni mo konnan na koto da to wa

Arigatou gozaimasu

I've looked it up online and in dictionaries with no luck. And I hear it so much it drives me nuts!

TASUKETE!
