りる doesn’t refer to rain, I think you’re thinking of る, which literally means 'to fall/descend. りる means ‘to get off’ or ‘to alight’.

Thanks for reading and translating my sentences nicely, it’s what I wanted to say! It’s working! :slight_smile:

I was conveying (or trying) “Ever since I started GITW…”, they had some examples in the ずっと 1 entry with ずっとから so hopefully I’m using it correctly. So all together is was “Ever since I started GITW, I’ve been thinking about what I properly want to say using the daily grammar point” is what I wanted to say or something like that.

November 18th Translation

Notes:
The まま that その is referring to in this sentence may not seem obvious at first, but since this message is directed at the passengers of the bus, it is indicating to the passengers that their ‘seated positions’ is まま.

Summary

Well I had to look up スノコ and I don’t even understand the English, so I’ll translate it in an easier way for gaijins to understand.

It’s slippery on the wooden platforms, so please take care.

The grammar point today is ~やすい which means “easy to”, but translating this to English, “It’s easy to slip”, would be unnatural, so I didn’t include it.

Rude version (British humour)

Careful not to go arse over tit lads.

“Please pay attention, as the floors drains are slippery”

I thought it was talking about slipping on snow-cone’s at first :laughing:

Slippery is more natural for sure, but I actually think ‘easy to slip -on-’ is also pretty natural :thinking:.

Controversial debate

I don’t agree it would fit in this context. I would say ‘it’s easy to slip on ○○’ while talking to someone but I don’t think it’s likely you would see it on a sign like that. It sounds pretty casual to me.

滑りやすい

I wrote “Easy to slip on” as my initial translation, but when I put it into jisho ‘滑りやすい’ is a word on its own that means ‘slippery’, so I went with that as it made more sense and as Matt said, a bit more formal context in a sign

Summary

The surface of the floor drain is slippery, so please be careful.

I didn’t understand ver well what スノコ is :thinking: the translation is weird so I looked at pictures, and they look like small wooden floor things.
