I don't understand how ご飯を炊いておかず is connected with 作るより.ところが、今、日本では、若い人たちを中心に米を食べる人が減っていると聞きました 。ご飯を炊いておかずを作るより、パン、うどん、ラーメンなどの方が簡単に食べられるからでしょう。
It is ご飯を炊いて おかずを作るよりI don't understand how ご飯を炊いておかず is connected with 作るより.
Does "炊いておかず" mean "without cooking ~"? Is adverber, verb, noun? Doesn't seem to me like noun so I can't understand how it became object with particle を before 作る.
Now it makes sense, thank youIt is ご飯を炊いて おかずを作るより
おかず is a noun: okazu · Tangorin Japanese Dictionary
秋はサケがたくさんとれる季節です。 from here
I think とれる here is intransitive verb "to be caught", not potential form of とる, "to catch".
Is it right?
Can't 1) 魚・鳥などが得られる。mean "fish or bird is caught"?「取ることが出来る」
Potential.
Yes but it doesn't have to be passive form of 捕る, if 捕れる can mean "to be caught"?Also, "to be caught" (passive) is とられる
Right. わかることなのではないだろうか is the affirmative presumption わかることだろう, whereas わかることなのではないだろう is the negative presumption わかることではないだろう. Incidentally, ないだろう？ is confirming it to the readers, just like "don't you think so?".First one is the speaker thinks something is the case and the second one the speaker thinks the thing is not the case?
Yes, but わけがない is more strong like "would never".「ぼくがいいかげんな気持ちだったら、親がこの結婚に賛成してくれるわけがない。」
"I my feelings were halfhearted, my parents wouldn't support this marriage"?
Sounds like the potential also to me.秋はサケがたくさんとれる季節です。 from here

ないだろう separately or like だろう with a negative clause/negative form of a word?Right. わかることなのではないだろうか is the affirmative presumption わかることだろう, whereas わかることなのではないだろう is the negative presumption わかることではないだろう. Incidentally, ないだろう？ is confirming it to the readers, just like "don't you think so?".
I see.Yes, but わけがない is more strong like "would never".
Well, somehow everyone I see thinks so. I'll leave it be, for now or whatever )Sounds like the potential also to me.
It's the latter; わかることなのではない + だろう for presumption.ないだろう separately or like だろう with a negative clause/negative form of a word?
Yeah, I got confused at first but then I cleared the misunderstanding. I'm asking because I got trouble with translating 寄りそうように怯える and with understanding ように in it.It might be more clear if you know it is a compound verb, 寄り添う. When it is written よりそう the 〜そう is easily confused for the suffix 〜そう.
Yes. 寄りそうようにして/寄りそうような状態で怯える makes more sense, maybe? 寄りそうように shows their state, not the state of fear.So they first got frightened and as a result the came in close contact, as "if cuddling"?
I'm confused about order of actions and tense of 怯える. Let me ask the whole sentence.Yes. 寄りそうようにして/寄りそうような状態で怯える makes more sense, maybe? 寄りそうように shows their state, not the state of fear.
