Around
Quit messing around.
I didn’t get around to it.
What goes around comes around.
Here are some other phrases which mean something similar:
"[ ] gets what [ ] deserves"
e.g.
"You get what you deserve for stealing my biscuits."
"Karma"
e.g.
"He slipped on some ice right after what he told Tyler. That's karma."
turn around は「方向を180度変える」、「Uターンする」、「引き返す
It’s just around the corner fromby the station.（駅のすぐ近くにあります
I don't know if this translates very well into Japanese. Usually when someone says "just around the corner" with real things, they usually mean that it is literally around a physical corner. "駅のすぐ近くにあります" would probably translate more closely as "It is just by the station."
I hope he comes around.（考え直してくれるといいな
I kinda feel safe around her.（なんだか彼女といると安心する
I think なんだか has a more neutral tone in Japanese compared to "kinda" in English. Kinda has a very casual sound to it and it may not work in a more emotional or wholesome sentence like this one, where it can sound a little childish or off. Some other words you can use instead:
"I feel kind of safe around here."
"I feel pretty safe around her."
Winter is just around the corner.
What do you want to do?
I’m always looking for ways to cut corners.
It’s onby the corner.」は「角にあります」
In English, we usually say something is by a corner, not on a corner.
It was
He was
She was
Sure
Surer surest
More sure
Most sure
Are you quite sure?
Are you sure you don't mind?
I'm sure it's going to rain soon.
・Don't be so sure (about that).
You can also say:
"I wouldn't be so sure (about that)"
Which is kind of fun!
sSure is cold this morning!
A: I'm 99% sure.
B: So it's not 100, rightNot 100?
Your sentence is fine, but "so" sounds a little strange here. So usually implies some kind of conjecture, but if someone says "99%", it's obvious they didn't say "100%". I don't know if this a reasonable comparison, but it's kind of like:
"君と行きたくないよ。
じゃ、僕と行きたくないの？"
A: It's my motto.
There is no 100% in the world.
Make sure you don’t drink too much.
It sure is.
You sure do like coffee, rightdon't you?
Sure thing了解 can be translated as "understanding/ to understand", or as "roger/ understood", which would be something people say to each other over the radio, usually in very specific contexts such as the millitary or police.
I am a nincompoop.
Note, this is a very old fashioned insult and would probably be understood in a very humorous rather than insulting context nowadays.
