(English) Welcome back. You're later than usual. "Yeah. The person who's always passing me on their electric bike had their battery die and was pushing it, so I was helping them. Electric bikes are super heavy; it surprised me." "Hmm. By the way, this kid, is it a girl or boy?" "Huh?" "Never mind. I was just thinking, 'That's how love begins, isn't it?'"
(Japanese) 「『~たら』形なんか、大嫌いだ。意味が分からないよ」「if ... then とか when とか after とか、そんな感じだよ」「あっ。分かった。でも、まだ好きじゃない」「何が嫌なの?」「何でもない」
(English) I hate the '~たら' form in Japanese. I just don't get it. "It means something like 'if so-and-so, then so-and-so', or 'when so-and-so', or 'after so-and-so', and stuff like that." "Ah, got it. But I still don't like it." "What don't you like?" "Never mind."
(English) Are you married? "Yeah I am." "Huh. Are you by chance expecting children or such?" "I am, but is there a reason you're asking?" "No, nothing at all." "More than that though, could you please stop speaking like you're a smelt."
