I read a book written by Tarosac (29)

I use a flea market app "mercari".

I think it's a quite popular app in Japan.

I often sell books there.

For example, I often buy books written by popular YouTubers and I sell them as soon as I finish reading them.

The other day, I sold a book written by a popular YouTuber "Tarosac".

I was surprised because it sold in one day. As expected, he is a popular YouTuber.

It's not like I can sell books the same price as I buy, but I guess it's better than keeping them home.

Actually, I got my hopes up too high for the book and after read it I was like "ummm, this was not what I wanted."

His YouTube channel is really entertaining for English learners, but his book wasn't that good.

I'm a big fan of his channel and I like his videos, just for the record.


** 今日は会話で使われるカジュアルな日本語を書いてみました

私、メルカリっていうフリマアプリを使ってるんだけど。

日本では、かなり人気のアプリだと思うんだ。

私はそこで、よく本を売るよ。

例えば、私はよく人気ユーチューバーの書いた本を買うんだけど、読み終わったらすぐそこで売っちゃうの。

この前、人気ユーチューバーの「タロサック」さんの書いた本をそこで、売ったよ。

なんと、一日で売れた。さすが(彼は)人気ユーチューバーだねー!

もちろん買った値段で売れるわけじゃないんだけど、家に置いておくよりはいいかな。

実は、私はその本に期待しすぎちゃって、読んでみたら、「あれっ?これなんか違うな」という感じだった。

彼のYouTubeチャンネルは英語学習者にはとても面白いんだけど、本はそれほどでもなかったかな。

念のため言っておくと、私は彼のファンで彼の動画が大好き。

I use a flea market app "mercari".


I use a flea market app "mcalled "Mercari". I use a flea market app called "Mercari".

it's actually capitalized in English I think we would more correctly say "Marketplace app", but I get what you're saying here.

I use a flea market app called "mercari". I use a flea market app called "mercari".

I use a flea market app "mcalled "Mercari". I use a flea market app called "Mercari".

The technical rule for quotes next to commas and periods is that the comma/period goes inside the quote. I think it's a dumb rule and tend to intentionally break it when there's room for ambiguity, like there is here (i.e. if you typed "Mercari." then it would be ambiguous whether the name was "Mercari" or "Mercari.").

I use a flea market app called "mercari". I use a flea market app called "mercari".

I think it's a quite popular app in Japan.


I think it's a quite popular app in Japan and I often sell my books there. I think it's quite popular in Japan and I often sell my books there.

The topic of the previous sentence is the same so this is fine.

This sentence has been marked as perfect!

I think it's a quite a popular app in Japan. I think it's quite a popular app in Japan.

I often sell books there.


I often sell books there.

This should probably not also start with "I" but it's so simple it's hard to remove so I put it in the above sentence.

For example, I oftenI usually buy books written by popular YouTubers and I sell them as soon as I finish reading them. I usually buy books written by popular YouTubers and I sell them as soon as I finish reading them.

I think it makes more sense for you to just say usually instead of for example given your previous sentence.

For example, I often buy books written by popular YouTubers, and I sell them as soon as I finish reading them. For example, I often buy books written by popular YouTubers, and I sell them as soon as I finish reading them.

The other day, I sold a book written by a popular YouTuber "Tarosac".


The other day, I sold a book written by a popular YouTuber named "Tarosac". The other day, I sold a book written by a popular YouTuber named "Tarosac".

Or, the popular YouTuber "Tarosac."

The other day, I sold a book written by athe popular YouTuber "Tarosac". The other day, I sold a book written by the popular YouTuber "Tarosac".

If you want to use "a", you should say "a popular YouTuber named "Tarosac"". The reason is that with "a", the impression is that you're introducing something that was not already in our attention, so you describe the YouTuber as being "named "Tarosac"". However, with "the", the impression is that you're referencing something that just exists (maybe we didn't known about it, but that's not the focus), so you can call the YouTuber straight by their name.

added emphasis because you're surprised.

As expected, he is a popular YouTuber.


AsMay I should have expected, it; he is a popular YouTuber. May I should have expected it; he is a popular YouTuber.

if you're surprised why is this excepted? We don't really say like 流石 in English in this way.

As expected, hHe is a popular YouTuber after all. He is a popular YouTuber after all.

「さすが」の英訳は文脈によります。この場合、こちらの方が自然な表現かもしれません。

As expected, hHe is a popular YouTuber so it makes sense why. He is a popular YouTuber so it makes sense why.

I assume you are trying to say that it should’ve been expected since he is a popular YouTuber? If so, I think that saying the sentence makes more sense and sounds more natural.

As expectedNo wonder, he is a popular YouTuber. No wonder, he is a popular YouTuber.

さすが can mean "as expected," but here it carries the reverse meaning. From the fact that he is a popular YouTuber, it is expected that the book would sell quickly. If you write it with "As expected", you're saying that, from the fact that the book sold quickly, it's expected that he is a popular YouTuber.
