YOU SAID:
oh good god, the casserole is on fire
INTO JAPANESE
まあ、キャセロールは燃えている
BACK INTO ENGLISH
Well, casserole is burning
INTO JAPANESE
さて、キャセロールは燃えています
BACK INTO ENGLISH
Now the casserole is on fire
INTO JAPANESE
今、キャセロールは燃えています
BACK INTO ENGLISH
Now the casserole is on fire
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
