Wiki: w:c:prison-school

Items: I need to know what 戦国やらいでか-乱舞伝- means. Sorry for the stupidly short request lol.

Extra information: For the wiki's purposes, 戦国=Sengoku and 乱舞伝=Wild Dance Legend using J-Talk.

Is it Sengoku and hesitation or in - Wild Dance Legend - ? Or is it something of Prison School??

In any case, やらいでか means "cannot stop doing". --Plover-Y (talk) 2016-05-02 17:54 (UTC)

Perhaps "Endless Warring States"?  Speedit  ♞  talk contribs  18:11, May 2, 2016 (UTC)

Maybe Civil War; We cannot stop fighting ...?

cf. This page uses "戦らずにはいられない" [1] --Plover-Y (talk) 2016-05-02 18:33 (UTC)

Yeah, it definitely doesn't look like a Prison School thing; it seems like it's an app of a game about the Sengoku (warring states) period.

[2] Here's the context - a gimmicky game collab.

If Japanese is subject-object-verb, is it okay to translate it word by word to English as Yaraideka then Sengoku? That makes no sense in Japanese but I hope you understand lol. If so, the translation "Endless Warring States" is good enough seeing as it fits the context.

If you want to transcribe the Japanese title without translating it'd be "Sengoku yaraide ka" in my opinion; you can't really change the order. It's like "Shingeki no Kyojin" or other anime titles — if you keep them Japanese you keep the order.

That being said yeah, it indeed seems like a game collab. "Sengoku" is Japanese for "Warring States" but it's a fairly well-known term (especially in Japan; the game genre is "Dramatic Sengoku RPG").

"Yaraideka/Yaraide ka" is difficult to translate because it's a contracted form that occurs in dialect. It's like "it's impossible not to ___", "we really have to ____", so maybe you can translate it as "We must undertake the Sengoku" ? It's very hard to translate fluently.

A few clarifications, I'm really bad at getting people to understand what I say the first time :D

I've got no intention of putting Yaraideka Sengoku on the page, I was interesting in knowing if the translation is still valid if its something like "Endless Warring States" rather than "Warring States: Continuum" - hence the subject-order-verb question.

But it kinda sounds like its more like "Warring States: Coercion". Even though this is getting really deep into one word in my opinion.  Speedit  ♞  talk contribs  21:57, May 3, 2016 (UTC)

This article from Dengeki describes やらいでか as 居られない, which I'd read as "unending".  Speedit  ♞  talk contribs  10:04, May 11, 2016 (UTC) EDIT: Whoops, 勘違い. 10:37, May 11, 2016 (UTC)

Excuse me, but no, it doesn't mean (only) "居られない". The article says it means "やらずにはいられない". "やらいでか" is a rhetorical question. About the text "やらずにいられるか。いや、いられない！" which is on the page you linked, "やらずにいられるか。" (Can S stop/help doing?) is a literal translation of "やらいでか", and "いや、(やらずには) いられない！" (No, S cannot stop/help doing) is the actual meaning which the text would like to say. --Plover-Y (talk) 2016-05-11 11:04 (UTC)
