先生,
ちゃう has many meanings. Like in situation 3 先食べちゃうす . Here it means cannot resist.so the statement means cannot resist eating first
But in2023-march-13 level 1 situation 2
先生来ちゃいますよ does it mean “teacher cannot resist coming” or ” teacher came unexpectedly”?
How to know which meaning of ちゃうis used for each situation

先生
In situation 3 先食べちゃうよ I understand ちゃうよ mean cannot resist. So the it mean cannot resist eating first.
However, in 2023-mar13 Level 1 situation 2
先生来ちゃいますよ how do I interpret ちゃいますよ here. Does it mean unexpectedly. So the statement should mean “teacher unexpectedly come”. I got a problem with ちゃう. There is so many meaning. How to know which is used for which situations. It can mean to do completely( unable to revert back) , to finished completely with regret, unintentional, etc. Any rules to say what meaning is used for what situation?
We are sorry for the late response. There was a bug in our site, and some questions and comments from the learners were missing. If you haven’t received a reply from us, please let us know.
xxxちゃう here is used when the speaker warn the other that the speaker (or someone else) is going to finish something unless the other acts quickly.
In お母さん：先食べちゃうよ。, it means mother is going to start eating without waiting for Naoko if she doesn’t finish talking on the phone and join her mother.
I think 先生来ちゃいますよ works in the same way. Unless someone does something quickly, their teacher is coming very soon, and someone will be in trouble.
Does it make sense?
We would appreciate it if you could quote the text in question when asking what it means.
分かりました ありがとう ございました 先生
よかったです。どういたしまして。:)
There’s a small translation mistake. In the description 家族 is translated as “to play/to meet up/etc.”.
But I still knew that the word means “family” because the sentence was translated correctly.
Ah, you’re right.
I bet they accidentally added definitions for another word there.
We’ll fix it. Thank you very much for telling us about it.
Off topic question:
I have a question it’s about some words in this sentence.
方向石3D画面で、風魔が東西南北のどの方角を向いているかが表示される。(What would this sentence translate to without google translate?)
(What would this 向石 translate to? I tried using Jisho to figure this out, but it didn’t give me any info on it, even when I just used these kanji alone in the search bar.)
(And what are some example of using 向いている in sentences since this means, (to be cut out for?))
(Why would there be a かが next to 向いている in the sentence.)
And my final one is does the される in this part for 表示される basically mean that it’s indicating the action of displaying or showing something?)
Thank you for the response.
This is from a game that I’m using to train my self, to read and understand Japanese.
I am afraid that I do not know what 方向石 and 風魔means.
東西南北のどの方角を向いているかが表示される
= The 3D screen shows which direction 風魔 is facing.
向いているかが = 向いているかについて
And my final one is does the される in this part for 表示される basically mean that it’s indicating the action of displaying or showing something?) →Yes.
What is the original sentence? Is it written in English?
This sentence wasn’t written in Japanese when I wrote this question. I got this from a manual that’s in Japanese. 方向石3D画面で、風魔が東西南北のどの方角を向いているかが表示される。was originally how it was written. But otherwise, what you told me helps, I just needed to know about some parts of this sentence.
Thanks for the response.
I thought it must be the game’s instruction.
Keep up your good work!
Oh, I forgot to tell you the name of the game. It’s called Getsu Fuma Den. A 1987 Nintendo Famicom game.
Thanks.
