YOU SAID:
a potato flew around the room before you came around
INTO JAPANESE
じゃがいもが来る前に部屋を飛び回った
BACK INTO ENGLISH
Flew around the room before the potatoes came
INTO JAPANESE
ジャガイモが来る前に部屋を飛び回った
BACK INTO ENGLISH
Flew around the room before the potatoes came
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
