Quick Zeronos Question for Japanese Speakers

[DigDoug]

Whenever Yuuto transforms, he says "I'm pretty strong!" Can someone show me how to properly say it by spelling it out in Hiragana?

最初に言っておく、俺はかーなーりー強い

saisho ni itte oku, ore wa ka~na~ri~ tsuyoi

Thanks!

Umm, sorry to ask, but could you break that down for me?

 

[koji17]

I'm not good with dictionary sounds, but I can try.

"saisho" is like sah ee sho
"ni" nee
"itte" eet tay
"oku" oh ku

"ore" o ray (roll the r slighly, it can make an l sound as well)
"wa" wa
"ka~na~ri~" kah nah ree (the "~" just means to stress the syllable)
"tsuyoi" "tsu" is like in "tsunami". "yoi" yoh ee

Even though there's spaces in between some of the words, that's just to show that the sound has changed. Ex. "oku" oh ku (pronounce ohku) with "o" sound and "ku" sound together. Hope that helped. Actually, Yuuto drops the "u" part in oku. So it's similar to the english word "oak".:thumbs:

I should've been more specific. I meant if you could tell me which noun/verb means what in english.

 

[koji17]

saisho = start, beginning
itte (te-form) = to say
oku = (to put, but when used with a te form verb like the verb above *notice itte ends in "te"*, it means that you will certainly do something or do it right away)

ore = I, me
kanari = considerably, fairly, pretty, quite
tsuyoi = strong/powerful

Thank you!
