</div>
|
||||
<p class="right">+ わけがない</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
Means that there is no way, "impossible". The nuance is that the way of doing is unknown, thus impossible for the subject. But someone else might know.
|
||||
It can also mean that the will to do is not present, especially with する.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> もうこんな時間。帰り==わけがない==。

|
||||
|
||||
### ようがない・ようもない
|
||||
|
||||
~{様|よう}がない means that there is no way, "impossible".
|
||||
Works by removing ~ます from a verb and adding ようがない・ようもない.
|
||||
The nuance it that it is impossible in general. With する, it can mean the same as わけがない, i.e. "I don't know how to".
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {全部|ぜんぶ}食べられる==ようがない==よ!

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## ~込む
|
||||
|
||||
~{込|こ}む has multiple meanings depending on the verb. Sometimes it is idiomatic and so it cannot exactly be guessed. However, there are some broad categories.
|
||||
|
||||
⚠ Depending on the context, verbs can fall into multiple categories!
|
||||
|
||||
### Going into
|
||||
|
||||
* If the verb describes a movement, adding 込む add the meaning of "into" (jumping => jumping into).
|
||||
* If the verb already has a notion of "into", it put emphasis into it. It could have a meaning like "completely into".
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {海|うみ}に{飛|とび}び==込んだ==。
|
||||
> He jumped into the ocean.
|
||||
|
||||
### Emphasis
|
||||
|
||||
When the verb does not include physical movement, 込む can be used to put emphasis on certain verbs (deeply, a lot, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {猫|ねこ}が{眠|ねむ}り==込んでいます==。
|
||||
> The cat is fast asleep.
|
||||
|
||||
### Repetition
|
||||
|
||||
The last common meaning is for an action that is repeated until a point is reached. It can also be an action that is done for a long time.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {毎朝|まいあさ}5キロ{走|かし}り==込む==。
|
||||
> Every morning I go for a 5km run (emphasis on the fact that it is a long run).

||||

## "As": Gradual change
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="usage">
|
||||
<div class="left">
|
||||
<p><span class="box">V + (の)</span></p>
|
||||
<p><span class="box">N + だ</span></p>
|
||||
</div>

||||

||||
* に{伴|とも}って

||||
This example works with all forms.
|
||||
|
||||
### につれて and にしたがって
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
につれて is more common and more used for personal actions.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example

||||
> {冬|ふゆ}が{地|ちか}づく==にしたがって・につれて=={気温|きおん}が{下|さ}がってきた。
|
||||
> As winter approaches, the temperatures have lowered.
|
||||
|
||||
### にしたがって
|
||||
|
||||
This form also has the meaning of "in accordance to". It doesn't express change. It is possible to talk about intention.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {歯医者|はいしゃ}==にしたがって=={毎日|まいにち}2{回|かい}{歯|は}を{磨|みが}く。

||||

||||
|
||||
### に伴って
|
||||
|
||||
に{伴|ともな}って also has the meaning of a an instantaneous change: when the first part changes, the second part also changes instantly. The first part is the reason of it changing.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example

||||
> オリンピックがある==に伴って=={交通費|こうつうひ}がねあが{値上|ねあ}がりしてしまった。

||||
> As the Olympics are held, transportations cost have increased.
|
||||
|
||||
### と共に

||||

||||

||||
#### Almost at the same time

||||

# Opposition: but, however
|
||||
|
||||
## が
|
||||
|
||||
Between two sentences, it has the meaning of "but".
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> この{建物|たてもの}は大きいです==が==、トイレは{一|ひと}つだけあります。
|
||||
> This building is huge but has only one toilet.
|
||||
|
||||
## でも
|
||||
|
||||
This is the basic way to say "but".
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> コンビニに行きました。==でも==、何も買わなかった。
|
||||
> I went to the convenience store. But I didn't buy anything.
|
||||
|
||||
⚠ Do not confuse with [[TeF (4) - even if#Even if ても・でも]].
|
||||
|
||||
## しかし
|
||||
|
||||
This is similar to でも, meaning "however", but usually more formal and most commonly found in written form.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {戦争|せん|そう}は{悪|わる}いこと。==しかし==、{人類|じん|るい}はいつも{戦|たたか}っています
|
||||
> War is bad. However, humanity is always fighting.
|
||||
|
||||
## けど・けれども
|
||||
|
||||
Means "but". Contrary to でも (which is more stand-alone), this links two clauses. The second clause can also be implicit and not said.
|
||||
けれども is more formal than けど.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {外|そと}は{暑|あつ}い==けど==行きたい。
|
||||
> It's hot outside but I'd still like to go.
|
||||
|
||||
It can also be used to soften your assertion.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {明日|あした}に行きたい==けど==。
|
||||
> I'd like to go tomorrow... (but I don't want to cause any inconvenience).
|
||||
|
||||
## 「ん・の」「だけど・ですけど」
|
||||
|
||||
Means "but", "however".
|
||||
の is more formal than ん, and ですけど is more formal than だけど.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {手伝|てつだ}いたい==んですけど=={暇|ひま}はない。
|
||||
> I'd like to help but I don't have time.

# Time: during
|
||||
|
||||
## 間
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="usage">
|
||||
<div class="left">
|
||||
<p><span class="box">V (dictionary)</span></p>
|
||||
<p><span class="box">N + の</span></p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p class="right">+ 間</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
{間|あいだ} means "while" or "during". Used to express something that is done for the whole period of time.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> 電車に{乗|の}っている==間==、ゲームをしてた。
|
||||
> While I was on the train, I was playing a game.
|
||||
|
||||
Can also be used to talk about a distance between two physical places or the time between two things.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> 1時から9じまでの==間==、{寝|ね}ます。
|
||||
> I sleep between 1AM and 9AM.
|
||||
|
||||
## 間に
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="usage">
|
||||
<div class="left">
|
||||
<p><span class="box">V (casual, non-past)</span></p>

<p><span class="box">い-Adj</span></p>
|

<p><span class="box">な-Adj + な</span></p>
|

<p><span class="box">N + の</span></p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p class="right">+ 間に</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
A first meaning is similar to {間|あいだ} (while), but with intentionality.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> 電車に{乗|の}っている==間に==、本を読みました。
|
||||
> While I was on the train, I read a book.
|
||||
|
||||
A second meaning is a statement of something that happened during a time period, independently of your actions.
|
||||
Contrary to 間, it doesn't include the whole time period. So 間に means that at a point during the time period, something happened.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {夜|よる}の==間に==、{隣|となり}の木が{落|お}ちていた。
|
||||

||||
</div>
|
||||
<p class="r"> + ながら + ...</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
Means "while", "simultaneously". The difference with ついでに is that here the main action is the second one. Happens at the same time.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||

</div>
|
||||
<p class="right">+ ついでに</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
Means "while", "at the same time". The difference with ながら is that here the main action is the first one. An opportunity of doing something during the occurrence of the first one (but not for the entire time).
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> スーパーに行く==ついでに==、おにぎりを{買|か}ってくれませんか。
|
||||

|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p class="right">+ と同時に</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
と{同時|どうじ}に means "at the same time as", "while". Contrary to ながら, it is used for something that happens at a precise moment, not during the whole time.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {電車|でんしゃ}に{乗|の}っている==と同時に==、おじいさんが{落|お}ちた。
|
||||
> While on the train, an old man fell off.
|
||||
|
||||
## 中
|
||||
|
||||
{中|ちゅう}・{中|じゅう} means different things depending on its pronunciation:
|
||||
* ちゅう is used when pointing a specific time: "during", "at some point".
|
||||
* じゅう is used for the entire time or area: "through", "within", "before it ends".
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {午後|ごご}==中==に{会議|かいぎ}がある。
|
||||
> There is a meeting in the afternoon (ちゅう).

|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p class="right">+ うちに</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
Means "while". The nuance is that the time is optimal and should be taken advantage of.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {晴|は}れる==うちに=={散歩|さんぽ}しましょう。
|
||||

# Time: recently
|
||||
|
||||
## さっき
|
||||
|
||||
Means that something happened recently, either just now, or a little while ago.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> ==さっき==家に出てきた。
|
||||
> I just left home.
|
||||
|
||||
## たところ
|
||||
|
||||
Combined with a verb in the past tense, it express that something just occurred (something just ended, just started, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> 今食べた==ところ==だ。
|
||||
> I just finished to eat right now.
|
||||
|
||||
## たばかり
|
||||
|
||||
Combined with a verb in the past tense, it express that something just occurred (something just ended, just started, etc). It is more subjective than ところ. It doesn't have to be something that literally just happened, but something that feels like it just happened.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> 今食べた==ばかり==だ。
|
||||
> I just finished to eat right now.
|
||||
|
||||
When comparing the two examples, the meaning is different depending on the context. Imagine a friend asking you to go eat with him. When using ところ, it means you just finished your meal this instant. When using ばかり, it means that it feels too soon to eat again just yet from your point of view, independently of how much time has really passed.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
<p><span class="box">の + N</span></p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
Means that something has just been finished. It cannot be used with all verbs. It has a meaning of something fresh, that changes after completion (fresh food that degrades, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> {炊|たき}き==たて==のお{好|この}み{焼|やき}きを食べるべきです。

|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## おきに vs ごとに
|
||||
|
||||
The way the intervals are counted between these two grammar structure is different.
|
||||
* おきに refers to what is _inside_ the interval.
|
||||
* ごとに refers to the interval _per se_.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Example
|
||||
> 1日==おきに== =2日==ごとに== = every other day = every second day
|
||||
> ●○●○●○●
|
||||
>
|
||||
> 2日==おきに== =3日==ごとに== = every three days = every third day

A first meaning is similar to {間|あいだ} (while), but with intentionality.

||||
A second meaning is a statement of something that happened during a time period, independently of your actions.
|
||||
Contrary to 間, it doesn't include the whole time period. So 間に means that at a point during the time period, something happened.

## たところ
|
||||
|
||||
Combined with a verb in the past tense, it express that something just occurred (something just ended, just started, etc).

## たばかり
|
||||
|
||||
Combined with a verb in the past tense, it express that something just occurred (something just ended, just started, etc). It is more subjective than ところ. It doesn't have to be something that literally just happened, but something that feels like it just happened.

|

> 今食べた==ばかり==だ。
|
||||
> I just finished to eat right now.
|
||||
|
||||
When comparing the two examples, the meaning is different depending on the context. Imagine a friend asking you to go eat with him. When using ところ, it means you just finished your meal this instant. When using ばかり, it means that it feels too soon to eat again just yet from your point of view, independently of how much time has really passed.
