Very nice. I think that Japanese learners like these kinds of words so much because we hear them all the time and want to know what they mean, plus there is really no equivalent in English, so they are pretty interesting.

Very helpful, thanks!

Cool. I don't know much about casual speech, and couldn't find this in the dictionay, but would you mind mentioning what してうるさくない means? I'm sensing that して is one part, then うるさく is an adjusted form of a word that I don't know, then of course ない. So I guess really the question is what うるさく is, I mean the original word before modification. Thanks for helping my curiosity to know!! Let me know if I can answer something about English. Thanks!

>アダム
ここ、がやがやしてうるさくない？

urusai=noisy, urusakunai=isn't it noisy
shite is just the conjunctive form of suru.

="This place is way too loud, huh?"

あのレストランはがやがやだから、友達と会話をしたいなら、静かなとっこにいた方がいいよ。
That restaurant is too loud, so if you are going to talk with a friend, I'd go someplace quiet.

当ている？

I think がやがや　is alwayas associated with している。
I don't think you can say あの店はがやがやだ。 beacuse Gayagaya is like -ing form and not the dairy condition.

あの店はいつもがやがやしてるから（がやがやしててうるさいから）、話がしたいなら静かなところに行ったほうがいいよ。

のほうが自然だと思う。
