Meaning of 譲れん (譲れない) Trying to figure out what equates to in English. Context is that this is from a manga, and the conversation is: > Character 1: > > Character 2: **** **** I'm under the impression that means "non-negotiable". However, if I were to use that meaning, in English the above sentence would be something like: > Of course, I'm a gardener after all. Gardening is the one thing I don't negotiate on. You also don't negotiate when it comes to cooking, do you? It's the same as that. But I feel like I'm missing another meaning for as "non-negotiable" in this context doesn't seem to make much sense.

Unless you have to do a verb-for-a-verb type of translation, you might consider using phrases such as:

> "I'm the boss/rulebook (when it comes to ~~)."
>
> "I'm second to none (in ~~)"

because that is the nuance of []{} in this context.
