Frank met Tom's eyes in a duel that would be discussed for years to come.
SUGGESTED USAGE:
一つの梅干しのせいで、フランクとトムはにらみあいになった。
hitotsu no umeboshi no sei de furanku to tomu wa niramiai ni natta.
And so it was one umeboshi that led Frank and Tom to lock eyes in challenge.
- 一つ hitotsu - one (object)
- 梅干し ume boshi - umeboshi (pickled plum) [If you like sour things, umeboshi is delicious. Great on gohan.]
- のせいで no sei de - because of this [sei and okage are similar in that they both mean [because of] but sei usually implies negative results and okage positive.]
- フランク furanku - Frank
- と to - and
- トム tomu - Tom
- になった ni natta - became [Their eyes became in a state of niramiai]
