だけど (dakedo)

大変だけど頑張る。

It's rough, but I won't let it get me down.

好きだけど弱いんだ。

I like it, but I'm a lightweight.

今ふと思ったんだけど

...this just occurred to me, but...

わさび好きだけど弱いんだ。

I like wasabi, but I have a low tolerance to it.

よその食べ物は嫌いだけど、

I don't usually hold with foreign food...

"だけど、私は、赤ネコ。"

However, I am a red cat.

そうだけど。なんで分かった？

Well, yes. How did you know?

大変だけど、まあ何とかなるさ。

It's rough, but... well, things'll work out.

大変だけどいい経験になったよ。

It's rough, but I've learned a lot from the experience.

ありがとう！まだまだだけどね。

Thanks! I'm still far from good, though.

"優しいみんなは大好きだけど、"

Everyone is nice, and I love them but,

全部好きだけど一番はラーメンかな。

I like all of them, but I guess I'd say ramen.
