It's the same usage as the one in here.痛みを越えた数だけ優しさがわかる
I've spent a great deal of time trying to figure out on my own the entire meaning of this sentence. Yet once again I'm not able to fully understand how it all fits together.
痛みを越えた [Overcome pain] 数だけ [only the number of times] 優しさがわかる [I understand/know the kindness/tenderness]
What I believe to be the problem here for me is how "Dake" ties the sentence together. I may be misunderstanding a word which could be throwing me off. If I could have anyone's help shedding some light on this I would very much be in debt to you. Thank you so much.:
[と付き合おう] と [に付き合おう] は, 違いは感じられませんでしょうか ☝I think 付き合う would mean "to get along with ~" here.
Oh, yes. I was speaking only as they were used in the example. この文でIn the structure 付き合えるだけロバートさんに/と付き合おう, both ~に付き合う and ~と付き合う wouldn't mean "to date". As for the case ロバートさんに/と付き合おう (i.e. without 付き合えるだけ), yes, there's a difference. Only ~と付き合おう can be used for "to date".
It's the same usage as the one in here.
痛みを越えた数だけ
as the same amount/numbers/times as we overcome pain
痛みを越えた数だけ優しさがわかる説明してくれてほんとにありがとうございます。
If I can take up even more of your time here, which I am reluctant to do, can I ask you if my english translation properly suits the japanese meaning?
I have it as: "I understand kindness as many times as I overcome pain"
Naturally, to me, that doesn't make a lot of sense at all and makes me wonder what I've not understood. Once again, thank you so much.
と matual vs. に unilateralOh, yes. I was speaking only as they were used in the example. この文で
[と付き合おう] と [に付き合おう] は, 違いは感じられませんでしょうか
痛みを越えた数だけ優しさがわかる
数だけ is expression often used to draw a parallelism, a comparison and to show that two things or two concepts are equivalent. It can't be narrowly calibrated down to a limited and precise number. Similar to the usage of だけ in 出来るだけ, which in the absence of context literally ends up translating "as much as possible/as far as possible."
As much as ~ there is also an equivalent degree of another.
It's more likely "If you're looking forward to it, you should say you're looking forward to it". (Note the difference between 楽しみだ and 楽しい.)
楽しみだ(=楽しみにして待つ): to be looking forward to ~
~ばいい; advise/wish
~てもいい; permission/tolerance
I interpreted it as "looks like something's about to go down." Not sure if that fits the context at all, although it's the only interpretation that makes sense to me at the moment.
Oh, and it's already raining.
It starts to rain and looks like something is going to happen.
降ってきてる is almost same to 降り始めた.
おこりそう=the pre-masu form of 起こる + そう
かて is a Kansai dialect for だって, meaning "too/also".If anything, I want to know what this かて is there for, and for what purpose--
