Hi everybody! I'm soooo sorry Shameful Cry for having been away for like a month or so? I somehow didn't get any topic reply notification mails anymore and just didn't realize by myself there might've been posts in the meanwhile. Anyway...

When "reverse engineering" �Ƃꂿ����� terechatte:

�Ƃꂿ����ā@�E�@�Ƃꂿ�Ⴄ�@�E�@�Ƃ�Ă��܂��@�E�@�Ƃ��
terechatte > terechau > terete shimau > tereru

Kokuou has already explained this actually but as a small addition:
The "-chau" for is already present, in the sense that it is not PAST tense. As you know the "present" form in Japanese can also indicate the FUTURE tense. I thought you might have ment to change the verb into the "dictionary" form - usually rentaikei. The sentence means:

�{���͏Ƃꂿ����ā@hontou ha terechatte ~ "(but) in fact, getting shy"

Once more, the continuative form.



Hello, supermidget! welcome back!! w00t! thanks for the addition to my question Mr Green what i meant with the present form is the "terechatte".. isn't that a present form?? Crazy or, well, that's what i thought hehe hehehe.. thank you so much, supermidget! Mr Green

You're welcome ^^

It is a form that doesn't have an explicit tense, it's time is determined by the verb in the next sentence. The form of -te words is said to be "continuative", check out this post http://jdorama.com/viewtopic.php?p=400920#400920 on the previous page, in which I mentioned the -te form a few times. A -te form can have many tenses, as it will usually just follow the one of the second sentence:

���������Ȃ��āA�p�������������I�@nani mo ienakute, hazukashikatta ~ "It was embarassing because I couldn't say anything."

You could also translate "Not being able to say anything, it was embarassing." In this case it's translated as infinitive (no tense).
