Meaning: Versus
You have this doll and you need to get a measurement of it. But, you have to get a measurement faster than your opponent. It’s you versus that crazy lady over there.
Imagine something like an advertisement for a cage match showing. The part that stands out big time is the word “Vs.” in the center, between your faces. Also note how ridiculous this battle is. You’re measuring dolls…
Reading: たい
Why are you measuring dolls versus this crazy lady? It’s because you need to know how big to make the tie that you’ll be putting on it.
Stick a little tie on that doll of yours. Is it pretty looking? Did you measure right? How is it versus your opponent’s?
