Comments:
Amatuka	Relevant grammar question #post68999>here. (Fourth post).
bamboo4	かたがた is interchangeable to 兼ねて
Amatuka	Yeah, but 兼ねて takes a direct object particle - かたがた doesn't.
dc	whats a direct object particle? it doesn't require a は・を after the item it relates to?
bamboo4	Amatuka means, for example, を in 仕事を兼ねて京都見物にゆく
bamboo4	I added "kanete" (兼ねて) in the grammar section, but I cannot edit it!
