I have a exam on Tuesday for my Japanese class. For the writing element i have had to prepare a description of a person (fictional or real). I was hoping i might be able to get some pointers? any help would be much appreciated.
The description is of my grandma (but not my real grandma). the description is as follows -
私の祖母
祖母は私の一番親類です。
my grandma is my favorite family member
彼女は85歳。彼女は古いですから、引退しています、でも依然活発ですから健康です。
she is 85 years old. she recently retired because she is old, but because she is active she is still healthy.
every morning she wakes up at sunrise and eats a big breakfast. then she walks from her house to the park. sometimes, If the weather is good on the weekends, we feed the birds together by the river.
彼女は弱々しいに見えって、けどとても強いです。
she looks weak, but she is really strong.
手でリンゴを。。。I want
to say she is able to break an apple in half using only her hands?? but couldn’t quite figure it out.
This is a HUGE shot, and I guarantee it’s false, but would this work ?
手で半分のリンゴが折れる
I just learned about the potential form which does the able to do part and somehow remembered you don’t use を since there’s no action happening, but for breaking the apple in half, I don’t know that many particles yet, so I put の in there, because yes.
edit: Actually I think to target intransitive verbs you need to use に ? I remember reading that somewhere, but actual knowledgeble people will correct me on that
Also I dont have time to look through everything since really im just procrastinating my own studies right now, but at a quick glance
use 見える here without the て form. Besides, て form of 見える doesnt have a small tsu. Also you can just replace the first part entirely with 見かけによらず if you wanna shorten it since its kinda a given that grannys look weak, but you dont have to. You can also just add it in between for emphasis. Ok I’ll get back to my work now.
