She is a Stickler (73)

My friend always wants to split the bill exactly when we go lunch.

It's too much hassle to split the bill exactly, at times.

For example, if we have to pay 2,300 yen, I suggest that I pay 1,300 yen, and she pays 1,000 yen.

However, she wants to split it exactly.

I don't really care about small things, but can I describe someone like her "A stickler about small things"

This is just an example, but I have another example.

When we were at a train station, and we had to charge some money in our Suika card.

I put in 3,000 yen, but it was taking her so long to putting some money in.

I asked her "What's wrong?"

She said "I was checking how much we are going to spend going and back."

I think usually we put in some money roughly and if there are some money left then you can use it next time, so I don't think you need to charge exactly.

This topic was a bit difficult to explain, but I wanted to know if I can describe a person like her "A stickler."


私の友達はランチに行くとぴったり割り勘にしたい。

時には、ぴったり割り勘にするのめんどくさい。

例えば、私達は2,300円払わなくてはならないなら、私が1,300円払うから、あなたは1,000円払ってと提案します。

でも彼女は、ぴったり分けたい。

私は、あまり、気にしないけど、彼女みたいな人を stickler about small things と言えますか?

これは、一つの例ですが、もう一つ例がある。

私たちが駅でスイカカードにお金をチャージしなければならなかった。

私は、3,000円チャージしたけど彼女は、チャージするのにとても時間がかかってた。

「どうしたの?」と聞いたら

彼女は、「行って、帰ってくるのにどのくらいかかるか調べてた。」と言いました。

私達は、だいたいおおよその金額を入れて残ったら次使えるから、ぴったりチャージする必要ないと思う。

このトピックを説明するのちょっと難しかったけど、彼女のような人をA stickler って言えるか知りたかった。

Feedback

Yeah, you could definitely describe her as a stickler for splitting money. By the way, the word "stickler" is interesting to me because it has the word "stick" in it. A stickler is someone who "sticks to" being very exact. :D

She is a Stickler

My friend always wants to split the bill exactvenly whenever we go out to lunch.

"evenly" means you both pay the same amount, so while it's the same as "exactly," it is used more in this context.

However, she wants to split it exactly down the middle.

Yes! We all have our little quirks, don't we? :)
I can see how that can be a little troublesome at times, though!

"to go out" or "to eat out" are commonly used when referring to eating at a restaurant.

It's often too much of a hassle to split the bill exactly, at times.

Edited to be more natural

For example, if we have to payonce the total was 2,300 yen, I suggested that I pay 1,300 yen, and she would pays 1,000 yen.

The amount you have to pay is known as the "total", so it can be more concise to use it. It's not wrong to say it the other way though.

For a hypothetical, you typically use "would". If you want to give a specific example that actually happened, you would put it in the past tense like I did here (suggested instead of suggest)

However, she still wantsed to split it exactly.

anone example, but I have another example.

When we were at a train station, and we had to charge some money into our Suikca card.

I put in 3,000 yen, but it was taking her soa long time to putting some money in.

I asked her "What's wrong?"

She said, "I was checking how much we are going to spend going there and back."

I think usually we put in somit's best to put roughly the amoney roughlyunt you need, and if there areis some money left over then you can use it next time, so I don't think you. That way you don't need to charge it exactly.

Feedback

A stickler is someone who insists on being exact, so yes, your friend fits the definition. Generally though, people clarify how right afterward - "a stickler for ___" or "a stickler when it comes to ____"

For example, a "stickler for the rules" is a common phrase for someone who always abides by the rules exactly as they are.

You can say your friend is a stickler when it comes to splitting money.
