@user, Then わがままやつら should be わがままなやつら (literally "selfish guys") cos わがまま is a na-adjective. 今の若連中 <-- We don't say 「若連中」. It should be 若い連中.

| Dec 15, 2019 at 4:10 | comment | added | user312440 | @Chocolate I think "やつ" is slang for "that guy". "ら" is a slang to make a noun plural. So, "やつら" is "those bunch of guys" (but slang)? I tried to say "A is B". "The young generation is a bunch of no goods, don't you think?." "んじゃない" The reasons "A is B" were young generation does not respect the tradition of "age-base promotion", "love of one's employer", "life-time employment", "sense of group togetherness among co-workers". Like going to lunch and senior employees pay for the meal. All those ideas helped rebuild Japan and influenced me to study Japanese. 今の若連中 don't know these customs? | |
