Key Points
1相当( = “quite” as an adverb
- Here 相当
( modifies キレイにしてた, so it means Hiro kept the room quite clean. - It is not “appropriate” or “equivalent” here; the scene is about degree.
2Casual sentence shape: 部屋( (を)相当( キレイにしてた
- The object marker を is omitted in casual speech.
- That means “I kept Hina’s room pretty clean”, not “Hina’s room became clean”.
3〜てた = casual 〜ていた
- してた is the spoken contraction of していた.
- It presents this as an ongoing state in the past: Hiro was keeping the room clean over time.
4んだぞ adds insistence
- んだ gives an explanatory or assertive tone, and ぞ makes it sound rough and emphatic.
- In context, Hiro is stressing his own track record to question whether Mao can manage the room.
