I have some questions. ▶ Questions

[image] seanblue: Same thing is happening here. There’s just something I’m not seeing about why these are all in volitional form. I’m used to seeing [よう]とする, [よう]と思う, but here it’s just [よう]と, which is why I’m wondering if something is implied. I think this ようと is this grammar point , which me…

Thanks for the help. I only have the Basic and Intermediate books. Maybe it’s time I round out the set. :sweat_smile: Would you mind posting a couple pictures of the relevant pages? I understand it better with just the JGram link, but it would definitely help to see a few more examples.

Sure! This is at the back of the book, so I had a hard time laying it flat. :sweat_smile: I included the key sentence section and the related expressions section. ▶ DoAJG pp. 742-745 Edit: I just realized the first key sentence pages are pretty much the same examples in the JGram link, so I instead …

The dictionary that I have and your linked dictionary are one and the same! It’s my favourite book for grammar references. I say this even while own the Dictionary of Japanese grammar series, too. There is an English and Chinese version out there too, I suggest a double check before buying it …

Here is my interpretation in case it helps anyone. Not sure if it will, but typing it out helped me to cement some stuff in my head at least :slight_smile:. ▶ Grammar

Talking about rare kanji… I did see some odd kanji in the shop today!

玉蜀黍.

Hadn’t seen it out side of a dictionary.
