やつしてみたかった　expression meaning


キスってやつしてみたかったな

I've never read this expression before. I just know that やつす means _to be
absorbed, to lose yourself to_ , so I was gessing that maybe in this case it
could mean:

"I wanted to lose myself in a kiss"

I am I right? Or does it have a different meaning?

Thank you a lot.




You're parsing it wrongly. It's not the verb やつす, but the noun やつ and the verb
する.

キス - kiss  
って - colloquial form of という  
やつ - in this case やつ simply means "thing"

So we have "thing called a kiss" so far.

して - te-form of する  
みたかった - from みる which attached to the te-form of another verb means to try
doing something  
な - emotive final particle

Put it together and you get "wanted to try doing".

So a very literal translation would be:

> I wanted to try doing that thing called a kiss

You might have been confused because there is no を particle between やつ and する
but these particles are often omitted in casual speech.
