I think I have seen it in cases like she's cute but the eyes are a little small or in the tone of some such unfortunate downside.
I think I have seen it in cases like she's cute but the eyes are a little small or in the tone of some such unfortunate downside.I think you meant "marred".
It is more like: "Yeah, if you say she's cute, you're right; she's cute....(but she's still a b!tch)" or some other such contravening opinion in the parentheses.
It is a way of conceding your interlocutor's point while still not giving up your own.
I would say 可愛いには可愛いんだけど or 可愛いのは可愛いんだけど for the case. 可愛いと言えば可愛いんだけど is more likely 可愛いと言えなくもない, as I wrote in my previous post.I think I have seen it in cases like she's cute but the eyes are a little small or in the tone of some such unfortunate downside.
I have the same feeling for 為る.whether technically correct or not, seeing 為る without Kanji is slightly unnnerving.
An imperative of "todoku", i.e., something like "Hope this reaches you" fits your context?like something about giving a towel. I can't quite remember I do remember she used todoke to give something
為
旧字は、もと、象を手なずけているさまにより、人手を加える、「なす」意を表わす。また、助字に用いる。
する。行う。･･･となる
成
旧字は、もと、意符（つえ）と、音符（てい）とから成り、罪ある者をつえで打って平らげ正す、ひいて、なしとげる意を表わす。
完成する。しとげる。でき上がる。
from 新字源
And now I'd like to see how bad my reading comprehension is.
為
Old character, origion, Because of winning over a phenomenon, includes other hands, Reveals the feelings of なる
Still, use for helping characters.
成
Old character, origin, 意符 and 音符 (These appear to be Kanji terms so...), and from 成, the person with sin...つえで打って平らげ正す (What is that? Correct and supress by hitting with a cane?), not only, without reavealing achieved feelings.
Complete. Accomplish. Be completed.
I just fail at this.
I should go find a good elementary book or something (1st or 2nd grade); hopefully it wouldn't be too terribly complex.
If you're referring to a Japanese textbook for native speakers in the 1st or 2nd grade, that would be of very little value to you.
In this age of people attempting to learn everything off of the internet it often comes as a surprise to people, but there actually are textbooks designed for teaching Japanese to foreign learners. That's what you need......that and to put aside a lot of the highly colloquial stuff that you have apparently picked up from manga/anime. You end up "learning" stuff that you're just going to have to either "unlearn" or "relearn" later.
The traditional character form originally expresses the meaning of "to alter" or "to do/make/accomplish/achieve" by its shape of taming an elephant. Also, it's used as a Chinese particle.Can I at least be given the translation of one of those definitions?
Let's try the first one again. "An old character whose origin, because of the method in which it wins over a phenomenon, as well as includes other hands, gives off the feeling of なる"
No.
To pretend or to act like.
