[“Better check about your neighbor” is translated as そろそろ、おまえ隣の部屋だ。I think that in this case the means is “watch/check” and not “soon”]

@fernando Nah, it doesn’t mean watch or check, not even close. It still means ‘soon’ in this context, but it doesn’t translate well. Maybe a better way to say it would be ‘it’s about time’ (to check the room next door). ‘It’s about time’ and ‘soon’ are both translated as そろそろ, although the former might actually be more appropriate in more situations.

I’m playing the Silent Hill 4 in dual language, and the sentence “Better check about your neighbor” is translated as そろそろ、おまえ隣の部屋だ。I think that in this case the means is “watch/check” and not “soon”. Thanks for article.
