Why is the に particle used in this sentence? 本当に美味しいです. From my understanding, に particle is used to indicate a place, time, or day. If I translate this sentence literally it becomes “it’s good at really” or “it’s good on really” instead of the actual translation of “it’s really good”
What is up with words like 如し and 同じ? My dictionary says that they are “act like verbs” but this doesn’t really make sense to me. For example, in the example sentence
“私のカメラは君のと同じだ” it reminds me of the way a な adjective would be used, however in the sentence “同じ意見です。” it seems to be different. 如し and 如くdifference is also strange to me.
I guess I’m in this weird point of learning where I don’t know what anything is.. it is hard for me to explain exactly what is confusing me but if I could sum it up I would ask “what is 同じ, 如し, and 如?”
母は姉を訪ねるためにサンフランシスコに行きました。
Would this be interpreted as saying she visited *her* sister or *my* sister? What would be the natural way of saying the opposite?
