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

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). _________________
