ようなんて

letianchen · 7 Aug 2013

今は
無理に忘れようなんてしない。この気持ちを抱えたまま前にすすめばいい。

"Even now... Its impossible to forget. If I have feelings like this
before I move forward then it will be alright. "

What role does ようなんて play in the sentence, and in the translation. Also is すすめば＝進めば? すすめばいい means
"If I move forward its alright"?

忘れよう is the volitional form.

なんて is used to show the preceding noun/phrase/clause is an example. などということ（は） makes sense?

まま means "while (having/holding...)".

～ばいい is originally from a conditional, but it's more likely an idiom "it's OK/alright to~".

Ok. However I am still confused about なんて, do I translate it here, more as" Things like" for example in the sentence

人が人の肉を食うなどということ、自由な流通システムがあれば起こりませんよ.
Things like canabilism do not happen if there is a system of free distribution

It's closer to 忘れようとしない in meaning here.

letianchen · 7 Aug 2013

OK. So a "Trying not to forget" feel right?

Toritoribe · 7 Aug 2013

No. It's not 忘れないようにする but 忘れようとしない. The negated verb is wrong.

renshuu.org - grammar page for ようとしない

Example: 読もうとしない (not (trying to) read
Is that wrong then?

What does Volitional + to + shinai mean then?

Glenn · 7 Aug 2013

"I'm not even going to force myself to try to forget (it) now."

Edit: Nevermind. Got it thanks

Do you think "not trying to read" is the same as "trying not to read"?

LOL. thanks, I thought those were the same until I said those outloud and realized how absurd that is. Thanks.
