    [JP] Help with the drunk person talking

    There is this part in the coversation where one of the people is drunk and has troubles talking clearly, and I have troubles understanding what is he trying to say

    This is basically how it goes:

    Drunk person: お酒たりらいんらぞ~...!
    Something about alcohol, I'm guessing he wants another go?

    The other person: 君そろそろやばいと思うよ...
    I think more could be dangerous for you.

    Drunk person: なにがらい!
    なにがらめなんらい!
    Don't get it after the なにが part at all... what exactly is he trying to say?

    The other person: 呂律... まわってないよ...
    Speech... you have problems with it...
    (So he doesn't get it either, heh)

    The other person again: ...飲みすぎだと思うんだけどな~
    I think you drunk too much.

    Drunk person again (already half asleep): んん... なんらい...
    持っていっちゃ... らめらんらぞ...
    It's the same thing as earlier, but I still don't get it.

    The other person: あ... もしかしてこれ... 僕寝るとこないよね?
    Ah... could it be this... I'm not about to go to sleep?
    Basically, he takes a guess here? I'm not sure I got it right, does boku neru toko nai sounds like ramenanrai at all?

    Sorry, if it all is really obvious, I'm new at Japanese and I'm still learning, so any help will be greatly appreciated!

    The drunken person is talking like a drunk, so his lines may be a bit hard to understand at first sight.

    I have "translated" his lines to a more formal (common) structure to make it easier to grasp their meaning.

    Drunk person: お酒たりらいんらぞ~...!⇒お酒たりないんだぞ~!⇒お酒たりないんですよ~!
    So yes, you are right, he wants another go


    Drunk person: なにがらい!⇒なにがだい!⇒なんですか!
    なにがらめなんらい!⇒なにがだめなんだい!⇒なにがだめなんですか!(何がダメなんですか!)


    Drunk person again (already half asleep): んん... なんらい...⇒ んん・・・なんだい・・・⇒んん・・・なんでしょう
    持っていっちゃ... らめらんらぞ...⇒持っていっちゃ・・・だめなんだぞ・・・⇒持っていったら・・・ダメなんですよ・・・


    The other person: あ... もしかしてこれ... 僕寝るとこないよね?
    Ah... could it be this... I'm not about to go to sleep?

    How about:
    Hey, wait a sec... is it just me or... I have nowhere to sleep? (僕寝るとこないよね⇒僕が寝る所ないですよね?)

    Hope this helps

    Re: [JP] Help with the drunk person talking

    Oh, I see, so basically drunk people confuse な and だ with ら in their speech?

    Hey, wait a sec... is it just me or... I have nowhere to sleep? (僕寝るとこないよね⇒僕が寝る所ないですよね?)
    Ah, the irony is this is much closer to how I've read it first (I figured とこ could mean 所), but then I thought, wait, maybe he took a guess at what the drunk person said. But he probably understood it much better than I did, so he didn't need to

    It's a great help, thanks a lot!
