>reasoning*

would be nice if translators learned english as well as japanese, but I guess we have to make due with what we have.

それってどんな理由
理由 is noun.

>>7604153

it'd be a noun if it was just 理.

Surely you should know that translating is more than taking the literal definition of each word followed by rearranging them into english sentence structure.

Would be nice if you didn't make a mountain out of a molehill. That sentence is perfectly fine in English. Maybe YOU should learn the fucking language.

Hiroyuki sure has some huge fucking problem with Sheel.
Him and the rest of the world.

Hiroyuki has generated some of the best doujin-shi I have ever read but I haven't seen anything new from him in ages.....
Does /jp/ know why?

>>7604243
Maybe.... he died?

Reason/Reasoning works in that sentence. It depends on what you're trying to say: a specific reason, or Shiki's reasoning, in general.

Ciel could ask "What kind of reason is that?" for a specifically implied reason, or "What kind of reasoning is that?" for Shiki's logical flow.

English is fun.

It is fine. But it is incorrect.

>>7604155
what.
'理由' is a noun.... Notice the lack of verb components.

But he has brought us so much laughter, that would suck.

>>7604264
It's not incorrect, as I just pointed out. It depends on what Ciel is referring to: a reason he has pointed out, or just his reasoning, in general. Specific versus non-specific.

Also, it's a colloquial phrase, so you can go fuck a duck. This isn't a peer-reviewed scientific article.

>>7604284
Shut up.

>>7604284
Why is it so hard for you to admit you were wrong?

To even resort to "Urrr, but we don't need that perfect English in our mangas!" reasoning... sad.

>>7604284
I'm not the one you're replying to, but I don't really see how "reason" works in that context. "Reasoning" makes a lot more sense (because she's questioning Shiki's logic).

Honestly, it just seems like a typo to me. My brain automatically parsed it as "reasoning" when I first read it.

>>7604269
I meant to say
>it would still be a noun if it was just 理.

>>7604300
The sentence parses. It's just not something that people would usually say.

>>7604305
...Ah. That makes more sense.

>>7604302
As I just finished saying, "reasoning" applies to Shiki's logical logic in general, while "reason" would apply to a specific implied logical leap/basis for the leap that took place.

"Your reasoning is broken."
vs.
"That reason is dumb, and doesn't provide a basis for your conclusion, therefore you are ugly."

Her quip only serves to highlight Shiki's stupidity and punctuate the joke, anyway. It doesn't have to mean anything. It could just be an ellipses and a look of pure disgust on her face, and accomplish the same thing.

>>7604300
Drop dead.
