My friend and I were having a debate.

Basically, �@���񂽂͈�l�ł��̉Ƃ���w�Z�ɒʂ��Ă���Bwas translated as "And you live here alone, attending school."

A direct literal translation of the Japanese seems to give a different English sentence. However, my question is: X����Y�ɒʂ��Ă��� the normal way of saying "(You) attend Y?" He seems thinks that saying "You go back and forth from home to school" is a weird, if not too wordy, way to say "attending school".

�w�Z�ɒʂ� does mean "attend a school," or "commute to/from a school."

I don't know where that sentence came from, but I imagine that there must have been some contextual significance to the fact that this person is traveling back and force alone from that house to school...

I'm providing the whole response from the character.

The subtitled translation:

The Yuumura family of three bought this house half a year ago and moved in. Soon after, your parents to America went to their new job posts. And you live here alone, attending school.
