目の前にたかだ usage in a sentence


> 目の前 _ **にたかだパフェ**_ が置かれただけなのにキャッキヤツとはしゃいでいる。彼女に言わせれば「何がたかがよ!」という感じなのだろうが。

The part that confused me is: `目の前にたかだパフェ...`

I took it as `目の前 似た 佳だ パフェ` (An excellent parfait like the one before her
now).

However, the part of using `だ` linking a な-ADJ and a NOUN struck me a little
bit odd. Am I wrong and what is the correct way to translate this sentence?

Thank you




I think you misunderstood it. I do believe that たかだ is a name (maybe the
patissiere's name or perhaps it is a type of parfaits since google search
seems to suggest that) hard to say without context. The sentence can be parsed
as: "目の前に たかだパフェ 置かれただけ" Which means: in front of you( or him/her) only a
takada parfait was placed
