...literally. I can't quite figure out how to say "I'm curious" in Japanese. Is there a general term that would fit or is it one of those phrases that's always different depending on the situation?
Here's the convo it came up in, for context...
Me: Okay, I've got everything, you? Sister: I wanna take a look at those handbags really quick. Me: Something catch your eye? Sister: No, I'm just curious. Me: Ah. Sister:.... how would you say "I'm curious/I'm just curious" in Japanese? Me:....Yanno, I don't know O_o
I offered, for that situation, something like "見てみたいから" or "ちょっと気に入るから." Not sure about the latter one, though.
You: Okay I've got everything you? (Daijōbu watashi wa subete o motte iru anata)
Your sister: I wanna take a look at those handbags really quick. (Ai· u~ona· bī wa hontōni hayai mono no handobaggu o mite mimashou)
You: Something catch your eye? (Nani ka ga anata no me o kyatchi)
Your sister: No, I'm just curious. (Watashi wa kyōmi ga arimasen)
You: Ah. (Ā)
Your sister: How would you say "I'm curious/I'm just curious" in Japanese? (Hōhō deshou anata watashi wa "kyōmi ga aru/Watashi wa kyōmi ga aru" de Nipponjin?
You: Yanno, I don't know O_o (Anata wa, watashi ga shiranai shitte iru O_o)
