Problem with translation of 言ってんのね


>
> 俺はさ、お前らにお友達になれって言ってんじゃないのね‌。中学のときにネットを挟んだ敵同士だったとしても‌、今はネットのこっち側同士だってことを自覚しなさいって‌
> **言ってんのね** 。

Official translation: Do you get it?

The source is from Haikyuu season 1 episode 2 (around the 10 minute mark). The
line is said by the club's captain, who is generally patient, responsible and
understanding but could be scary when he gets angry (like in this moment).
Does this info affect his choice of words and fit into the image of a typical
male captain?

When I read the translation at first, I was a bit taken aback by how much it
differed with my own interpretation. But after thinking it through, I wonder
if the translation provided above is not a literal one. Could it be that the
sentence also means "...is what I am saying" (lecture about rules and such)
and the translator tweaked it a bit in a way that still fit the context?




言ってんのね is just a contraction of 言っているのね, and って right before it is a quotation
marker. So the literal translation of ～って言ってんのね is "It's that I'm saying ～".
The captain's line contains nothing that directly corresponds to "Do you get
it?"

After watching the actual episode (available on Amazon Prime Video in Japan),
I kind of understand why the translator chose "Do you get it" even though it's
grammatically a mistranslation. There is a long pause between 自覚しなさいって and
言ってんのね, and 言ってんのね comes with a scary zoomed-in view of the caption, so "Do
you get it?" fits well here. If we translated this literally into English, the
last part of his line would be something like "the same side of the net", but
uttering it with this visual effect might look a little unnatural. Anime
translations are full of examples like this.
