Tameni and nakerebanarimasen

[letslearn]

Hi guys, I am currently learning the grammar points of tame ni and nekerebanarimasen. does my sentence show an understanding?

I am trying to say in English. To order to get to nozawa onsen, you must transfer from the bullet train at nagano to the bus.

野沢温泉に行くために、長野駅で新幹線からバスに乗り 変えなければなりません．

thanks in advance.

kanji note: 乗り換える

The stress of なければならない is close to that of "must"/"have to" in English, so there is a nuance here that there's no other (sensible) way to get there (i.e. oh, there's no direct route from here, you have to go to Nagano station and change to the bus).

You can also use Xに行くには when talking about directions. A simpler way of saying "To get to Nozawa Onsen you change to the bus at Nagano Station" would be just:
野沢温泉に行くには、長野駅でバスに乗り換えます
(you don't need to specify what you change from or anything like that)

To specify that you're specifying/suggesting a particular route, 乗り換えるといい 乗り換えると便利 乗り換えるほうがいい etc.

You often see なければなりません used with travel when the route is complex, inconvenient, requires you to get up early, etc.

@nekojita ,
thank you for that great explanation.
to emphasise the inconvenience and stress the importance, how does this sound.

週末から電車が走りません．だから，野沢温泉に行くために、長野駅で新幹線からバスに乗り換えなければなりません．

cheers.

If you are talking about every weekend, it should be 週末は. 週末から means "from this weekend".
野沢温泉に行くには / ためには is more natural, as nekojita-san pointed out.

Hows that?
週末は電車が走りません．だから，野沢温泉に行くためには、長野駅で新幹線からバスに乗り換えなければなり ません．

 

[Toritoribe]

That's correct.
