@KornerIsabel @iamztoo @erwinfckr ((Btw your teacher is not wrong!!!! は indeed is use to emphasise certain things, but because the particle は + が is a little bit annoying, they have different usage, and this is just one of them 👍)
@KornerIsabel @iamztoo @erwinfckr I found this example online (credits to tumblr@shunkani)! Another example will be 彼と図書館には行かなかった = I didn’t go to the library with him, but we went to somewhere else. Is this easier to understand?
@iamztoo Yes! Both ships are valid and good 👍 My intention from the start is to clarify that there are romantics hints (rationally speaking with no shipping goggles) for LVHN. And those hints, too, can be seen platonically, just as how some can see Eruri as merely Ackerbond and++
@KornerIsabel Please don’t use them as proves! Everyone has different interpretations, even Japanese can interpret it differently! There are hints, but doesnt necessarily mean that they are canon >< No ships other than AruAni/EreMika are official so everything is up to the reader’s perspective
@KornerIsabel @iamztoo @erwinfckr I just reread your question and if you are referring to the 「巨人とは 」part, the は does not necessary refers to a third person, but it creates a sense that he is talking about something/one else.
@KornerIsabel @iamztoo @erwinfckr ((sorry I might not reply very fast, I don’t usually log into Twitter..if there’s anything I will reply when I see it))
It sounded like they couldn’t understand my point TT_TT I don’t intend to say any of the ship is canon/official...I just wanted to let people know that there are hints that are lost in translation. After knowing the hints, no matter how you interpret is fine TT_TT

@iamztoo @erwinfckr @truthispainful6 +interpretation are completely OK 👍 Personally though, I am leaning towards the romantic interpretation due to the rather subtle hints and vocab choice, but both Eruri and Levihan are great 👍
@iamztoo @erwinfckr @truthispainful6 Ah, something I would like to clarify is that there is no direct statement that the feeling is romantic. Both platonic and romantic interpretation are ok 👍 Some see it as romantic by inferring from the entire scenario and atmosphere. That being said, both++
@truthispainful6 @iamztoo @erwinfckr No problem! It’s frustrates me a little bit when the language got lost in translation. I am glad to clarify at least a little bit! 👍
@iamztoo @erwinfckr @truthispainful6 ++there were hints in the JP version, but it seemed to be lost in translation in the ENG version. I hope I don’t come across as rude to you.
@iamztoo @erwinfckr @truthispainful6 I am sorry, but I think perhaps it’s the way I word it that I couldn’t get my point through. I am sorry if I come across as trying to invalidate eruri, but I absolutely have no intention to do so. I just wish to clarify that many see LVHN romantically in JP is because ++
@iamztoo @erwinfckr @truthispainful6 French is amazing! I would like to learn it someday!
Ah, regarding that, JP is a rather subtle language, and considering Levi’s personality, it is rather reasonable that it is placed that way. I do not intend to compare between the translations of different languages++
