following [this post](https://old.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/17ucv9z/intransitive_vs_transitive_verbs), i’m looking for experiences/opinions on the best way to learn verb transitivity. anki vs. only immersion? will memorizing verb transitivy in my 2.3k deck prove efficient, or only make me want to stab a toothpick in my eye?
For transitive verbs where there isn’t really an intransitive equivalent, can the ~ている (progressive) form also be used to describe the new state too? Or would that be unnatural?
Example: can 食べている mean both “I am eating right now” and “I’ve eaten”, depending on the context?
進撃の巨人 came to an end, and i see many japanese people saying there’s a nuisance in this specific scene…
We have 2 characters, Armin and Eren, and eren just messed up really (i mean really bad).
Each”()” represents a manga bubble
アルミン: (ありがとう) (僕たちのために…) (殺戮者になってくれて) (この過ちは。。。
Well i see many arguing that the ありがとう is detached from the て hence he isn’t directly thaking him for that matter, does that make any sense? This ありがとう is just thrown there? How much impact does this positioning actually impose?
