Too suspicious with 〜すぎる
Grammar Explanation: Too much with 〜すぎる
Rize comments on how Chino and Cocoa seems to have gotten over their fight.
- シャロ・千夜:
- 「いつもあんな感じじゃないの？」
- “Aren't they always like that?”
- リゼ:
- 「こいつらが鈍感なのか私が勘繰り過ぎなのかわからなくなってくる…」
- “I can't tell whether these two are oblivious, or if I'm reading into it too much...”
- Literal: “I start not knowing whether these people are insensitive, or whether I am suspecting too much...”
Key Points
1勘繰り過ぎ means reading too much into the situation
- 勘繰る means suspecting hidden motives, and the noun-like stem joins 過ぎ to mark excess.
2なのか〜なのか presents two competing explanations
- Rize cannot tell whether the others are oblivious or she is overthinking things; わからなくなってくる shows her growing uncertainty.
3あんな感じじゃないの？ checks an assumption
- じゃない is the casual negative of ではない, and final の？ asks whether the pair are not always like that.
Vocabulary
鈍感 (Insensitivity)
鈍感 means insensitive or slow to notice feelings, hints, or subtle changes.
私 (I)
私 means “I” or “me”. It is the standard first-person pronoun in polite speech and is also common in casual speech among women.
