Does anyone know the translation for this word, "shiorashii"? There were no kanji where I saw it, it was written in hiragana, and I have been able to find it in no dictionary. Thank you ^_^ | ||

I pasted the following from Microsoft Bookshelf Basic. しおらしい 〈おとなしい〉 gentle； modest； 《形式》 meek； 〈かわいらしい〉 sweet； 《形式》 tender； 〈哀れげな〉 pathetic 文例 ご恩返しをしますって, お前もしおらしいことを言うじゃないか. 〈皮肉をこめて〉 You’ll make me weep ［You make my heart bleed］, with your talk of repaying my kindness some day! あのお転婆娘のジェーンが好きな男の前ではあんなにしおらしく振舞うから面白い.
