“こいつええ奴だ！” Explanation: Jolly good fellow: ええ奴 'For he's' is used to identicate the person, so I thought an informal form of : 'この人' or 'こいつ’ would work best. This is my best guess. The phrase is from an old (drinking) song used to celebrate someoneelse's good fortune. In it's entirety, it goes: 'For He's a jolly good fellow, that no one else can deny.' Hope this helps... トロイ |
