Note: This is just an example of a translation request.

What is the character on the left saying? I can read the character, but I can't understand what that single sound is supposed to mean.

I just realised you are the OP on this and the last post I commented on, and you're posting questions and answering them yourself to provide examples. Derp on my part.

For anyone interested in why, Nobita (right) is already aware Doraemon (middle) is from the future and should understand the possibility of meeting his grandchild when time travel is available. Hence Doraemon calling him an idiot.
