You just dug your own grave. (J4M-80)

omae/??=impolite form of YOU. Do not use this word unless REALLY angry. Instead use the person’s name or, if you must, “anata”. jibun/??=oneself BTW, this could be used to refer to your own person (“me”) or someone else. (“yourself” or “you”) jibunde/???=by yourself. no/?=’s boketsu/??=grave wo/?=article indicating the receiver or object of the verb horu/??=to dig hotta/???=dug (past tense of horu/??) na/?=just a stressor Ironically, despite the similarity to the English expression, in Japanese this is actually not as strong as to dig one’s own grave. I’d say it’s more like “to shoot yourself in the foot.” STUDY!
