Must rethink mushrooms with 考えを攻めなあかん
Ayumu says she’s never had matsutake mushrooms and asks Sakaki if they’re any different from shiitake mushrooms. Sakaki says they’re completely different, which throws off Ayumu’s belief that matsutake mushroom were an improved shiitake.
- 歩:
- 「これは考えを攻めなあかんっ」
- “I have to challenge this whole notion!”
- Literal: “This (means) (I) must attack the idea.”
- “I have to challenge this whole notion!”
Key Points
1攻めなあかん = “have to challenge” in Kansai speech
- Start with 攻めない, the negative form of 攻める, and replace ない with な + あかん.
- In standard Japanese, the same idea would be 攻めなければならない or 攻めないといけない.
2The wording treats a belief as something to attack
- 考え is the “idea” or “way of thinking”, and を marks it as what Ayumu will attack.
3これは points back to Sakaki’s correction
- It frames the new information as “given this” or “this means”, rather than referring to a physical object.
4Sentence-final っ gives the line a clipped finish
- The small っ shows Ayumu cutting the line off sharply as she resolves to rethink her assumption.
