Japanese translation question?
そう。じゃあ、ごはんの ときに ゆっくり きくわね。
The translation givin by the website is:
"Great. Well, let me hear all about it at dinner"
Where does yukkuri fit in? Would it mean "slowly listen" Also, how does the contents in the sentence change the person that is to do the listening. The speaker says "let me hear" when the literal translation looks like "slowly listen"...which makes me think its saying " slowly listen to me".
Would you be able to help me understand this?

Sou. Jaa gohan no toki ni yukkuri kiku wane.
As you know, "ゆっくり Yukkuri" means "Slowly" but it also means "to take one's time/spend some time in do something.(時間をとって～する Jikan wo totte -suru.)"
I think the situation is that the speaker is busy now(maybe s/he is cooking dinner), so s/he says that s/he wants to talk about it later in detail at dinner "when we can take our time to talk about it," not now.
