YOU SAID:
2017 is off to a rip-roaring start, isn't it dad?
INTO JAPANESE
2017 は騒々しいスタートを切って、お父さんじゃないか。
BACK INTO ENGLISH
2017 is off to a noisy start, it's not your father.
INTO JAPANESE
2017 は騒々しいスタートを切って、それはあなたの父ではないです。
BACK INTO ENGLISH
2017 is off to a noisy start, it's not your father.
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
