Re: [JPNS1001] video translation question.

She's saying 「大きな琴」, which is an alternate way of saying 「大きい琴」。
「大金」is pronounced differently, and has a different meaning. Use www.alc.co.jp or rikai-chan to see what! =)

Well, I'm pretty much done but I have a line that I'm feeling iffy
about. I know what it is she's saying, but I can't be sure about how I
should put it into English.

The line is:
大金な琴がありました。

Now, when I see this, it strikes me as kind of funny, but I don't
trust myself. Is this closer to "There was a large, gold koto." or
something slightly sillier like "It was the grand golden koto."

I mean, reading over this post, it seems like a stupid question, but I
have to ask.

Yeah, realized that after I posted . . . hence why I tried to quickly
take it down.
