こんにちは、しつもんがあります。
I’m going through a 2000 Core deck on Anki and it has
娘は明日九つになります
For “My daughter will be nine tomorrow.”
I’ve always only seen さい as a counter for age, is つ another option or is it because it’s obvious in context or what? ,ありがとう！
Hello everyone, I’m going through Shinkanzen N2 grammar, and got a question wrong which I’m not sure why.
今日中に買いたい物があったのに、今日()財布を忘れてきてしまった。
I chose ばかりは, but the right answer is に限って. I can’t seem to find much on the difference between these two, so may I ask why one would be preferable over the other? Another answer is だけは, which feels correct too, but I’m not sure why this is also incorrect for this sentence.
Hello.
I’m going through the Genki workbook on chapter 2 and I came across this sentence in the audio section: わたしのともだちのクリスティです.
I understand what it means, but I was wondering why is there a second の after ともだち and before クリスティ. I know the first の essentially connects I and friend to make my friend. But what does the second の do?
My assumption is the second の is using わたしのともだち to describe クリスティ, is that correct?
Thank you in advance!
