I was wondering if someone could explain this line to me...like the literal meaning...


unmei toki wa de ai ga

Would this be a fateful meeting? was the translation.

unmei 運命 = fate
deai 出会い = encounter
toki 時 = time, moment

Each meaning of these words is correct, but
"unmei toki wa de ai ga", this sentence doesn't make sense.

Could it be "unmei teki na deai"?
That means "a fatal encounter".

I agree with Toko. The sentence doesn't make any sense. Sounds funny.

at least I learned a few words. I checked the lyrics and I wrote them correctly. Oh well. Thanks ^^. The song is GO GO Summer by Kara.

  • unmei toki wa de ai ga

  • unmei teki na de ai ga

1 people think this correction is good.  
Literaly I'm sure the fatal meeting is waiting for me.
But it is natural to say
I am sure to meet my fate.
The lyrics are うんめいてきな　であいが　きっと　まっている.

Thanks a lot. Japanese is still confusing to me.
