じょうしがいっぱいのもうといった。 My boss says: Let’s have a drink together. じょうし = boss いっぱい = drink のもう = togheter? いった = said Can you help me understand the no mou part of the sentences? Does that mean together?

[image] BongBong: The と particle in this case is used as quote […]? And the volitional form is more of an invitational form of a verb? ‘Yes’ and ‘yes, in this case’. The volitional form (it’s in the name, because ‘volition’ is about one’s will i.e. desire/intention to do something) is someth…

The other と usage missing from your list is the one marking the other person in an action you’ve jointly done together with them, eg 花子さんと話しました “I talked to/with Hanako”. Oh, and there’s the conditional と as well (先生に聞くとすぐわかった) but that’s kinda different as it joins two sentences rather than connec…

Yes exactly the one I meant, was, for example, わたしとともだち。

[image] pm215: Interesting, I think of them as being significantly different, both in syntax and in meaning (one’s just “and” and the other is “in a reciprocal relationship with the subject of the verb”, to borrow DoBJG’s way of putting it). I guess I just prefer to combine things as much as …
