What does 「こんな材木、一人で運べるのに」 mean?
Does it simply mean "I can carry that wood myself"
or does "noni" add another meaning?
- Japanese
I think other sentence will continue with this sentence.
のに（noni）＝but
example: こんな材木、一人で運べるのに「彼らは2人で運んでいる」
I can carry that wood myself but they are carrying wood by 2 guys.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Japanese
Daisuke wants to say, “I believe anyone can carry that wood alone! Why are you guys carrying it together with someone else!? I don’t understand.”

Ohhh I see!! Thank you very much for your answers! I would have never been able to guess that by myself! (^____^)
The full sentence if you're curious:
「こんな材木、一人で運べるのに」ダイスケは力自慢を我慢しています。
- Japanese
He has power enough to carry it by himself.
He wants to boast of that ,but he has to hide his power because his position is law.
So he is in a little frustration.
or because people don’t acknowlege his power , he is in a little frustration.
In that situation japanese people say ‘noni’
