Comments for 転がす

I saw this phrase "ゲタでも転がしておけ !" in a comic but I don't get its meaning...Anyone can help please ? :)

Need some more context. I think ゲタ is an onomatopoeia as it s written in katakana.

ておけ -form implicates an action with intention to complete the goal. ておけ is the imperative of ておく.

It's an angry character running away from people harassing him. I too didn't get what "ゲタ" meant especially in katakana and I didn't think it could be an onomatopoeia but you're probably right. Apparently "ゲタゲタ" means "laughing out loud" ? Strange though considering the context... I did thought of the imperative meaning, I believed he said something like "Just stop now !" or "Just leave me alone !" but of course it doesn't match and I don't get the "転がし" part in the present context...why "roll" ? I'm sorry if I sound stupid, maybe it's actually obvious. Well thank you anyway :)

Yeah, "laughing out loud" seems weird there. 

After reading your comment I think ゲタ　actually represents a subject, but the writer didn't feel like writing the kanji, or maybe felt it was not appropriate. E.g. something Japanese-origin is often written in katakana http://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/1930/why-are-katakana-preferred-over-hiragana-or-kanji-sometimes

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i think one of the characters is wearing wooden slippers (下駄).  It's hard to run on those shoes, so a translation could be  "Just leave your geta!"　

I thought about wooden slippers too, but the thing is that the story is supposed to happen in a chinese-like, medieval world, and I never saw any character wear them. However, I realized there is a side character running with the angry one...he's a weird one so maybe the writer thought it would be funny to tell readers he's wearing wooden slippers (impossible to see though). I really thought the angry one was talking to his harassers, but your idea makes more sense ! Thanks you very much again for your help ! :D

そうか ! いらない ! So "も" is separated from the real meaning, and is probably there to say "too" since it's implied the character's been followed all day by many people... 誠にありがとうございます ! I was really getting confused by all this. Indeed, idioms don't always make sense ! I'll have to work harder because I guess it's impossible to find this idiom if I don't improve my reading of japanese websites...Well, thank you again a lot for your time !! :)
