Although even this doesn't capture the nuances of the phrase conveying a sense of regret and yadda yadda yadda, but it's a gloss, you know that it can't convey all the exact nuances of the meaning. Like I can't exactly cover the screen in text explaining that, like, 私 watashi doesn't simply mean "me" but is a deictic classifier which in informal speech is associated women, and stuff like that. The only time where "nuances of meaning" genuinely stumped me here was that I couldn't find a satisfactory way to gloss the わ wa particle, so I just rendered it as (*). Here are a few summaries of how this particle is used: "わ is a sentence-ending particle that reflects your perception or sentiment based on personal observation and/or experience." https://www.tofugu.com/japanese-grammar/sentence-ending-particle-wa/ "In Japanese, the wa わ particle is a sentence-ending particle used to affirm one's conclusion, decision, opinion, to clarify something, or to exclaim an emotion such as surprise. In a way, it's predominantly used by women, categorizing it as female language." https://www.japanesewithanime.com/2019/06/wa-sentence-ending-particle.html I glossed ～ている -teiru as CONT even though it's really a combination of the conjunctive and いる iru "to exist" (animate). For godan verbs I also counted the last mora of the root as part of the suffix (o-ita, o-keba, rather than oi-ta, oke-ba). 嫌い kirai is "hated" in the passive rather than past sense. I don't think there's any other points in the gloss that are likely to confuse, but I do worry a little, like what if somebody thinks "do-NOT" is an imperative, you know. Abbreviations GEN = genitive, possessive, -'s. CONT = continuative, i.e. "is doing" as opposed to just "does". NZ = nominalizer, i.e. turning words of other classes into nouns. EMPH = emphatic ADVZ = adverbializer. CONJ = conjunctive. This is often found in Japanese constructions with auxiliary verbs, I guess it's a bit like the "and" in "go and do something", maybe. SBJ = subject. ADJZ = adjectivizer.
