First of all, my bad if this has been asked before, I searched the sub and found similar questions but nothing that covered this specifically; if this has been answered before, please link me to it and I’ll remove this post.
But here’s my stupidly basic question: why add the のこと？is it necessary for the statement to be grammatically correct? Or is it, as I have seen one dude say on google, a sort of intensifier? Or is it something else entirely? Needless to say, I’ve been learning for only a few months so I’m beginner level, and I’m trying to give these kinds of things that don’t really have a direct english equivalent some extra attention to make sure I’m really grasping everything. Any help is appreciated!
