" Beauty and the Beast ls an animated film, right?"(PL3) a is an interjection showing reCQgnition. robetween two nouns is Uke "and.'' Note, though, that it cannot be used for "and" between two clauses. tte hereis a colloquial equivalent of to iu rw wa ("as for what is called -"); when tte (or to iu 110wa) follows a noun like this. it often fills infor the topic marker, wa ("as for''). anime is shortened from animeshon, the katakana rendering of the English word "animation." In the United States, anime often refers specifically to Japanese animation, but in Japan the word refers to any animated feature. des/W (and its shorter fonn desho) literally makes a conjecture, "surely/probably." but when spoken with the intonation of a question it's like a tag question, "right?/isn't that so?"

Shimau in this case gives the feeling that the action is already a foregone conclusion and irreversible.Yamechau modifies kaisha ("company" -+ "job"): a company/job that you will quit." ja nai ka ("is itnot?/does it not?") in this case is a purely rhetorical question; he's in fact making a strong assertion. 11ani yo (fern.) and nan da yocan be used in a challenging or belligerent tone to take issue with what has just been said or done. yamem is the abrupt commandform of yameru ("quit/stop"). tte is a colloquial equivalent of quotative to, anditttt is the plain/abrupt past form of iu ("say").Tteyamero as the content of what the bridegroom said. ja nai is literally "is not," but implies the rhetorical question "is it not'?"; again, the rhetorical question actually has more the force of aslrong complaint or accusation than a question. mli mais a sofUgentle.-sounding interjection that's used to tryto calm someone down: "Now, now/Easy now/Yeah, yeah." arimasu is the PL3 form of aru ("exists''); mada arimasu here implies mada)ikan ga arimasu ("time still exists"--.
