| Comments:
| dc | Is this correct:
彼は早くかわりに、遅かった
Instead of being early, he was late. | | eastmaels | In the Notes section,
shouldn't it be:
高いかわいに→高いかわりに
And:
"verb-dictionary + kawarini" | | jmadsen | Question: My grammar book says に かわり instead of かわりに for all its examples and explanations. ex. 首相 に かわり、 外相 が アメリカ を 訪問 した。
Can anyone clarify? | | jmadsen | Just got my question answered :-)
ni kawari is more "polite" or "official", and also shows a more passive sense of the "ni" particle. kawari + ni is more typical in spoken language. So, these two sentences are the same in meaning:
相 に かわり、 外相 が アメリカ を 訪問 した。
相 の かわり に、 外相 が アメリカ を 訪問 した。
But the first is more likely to occur in a news report. | | bluntcrayon | can you even use い adjectives with this form of かわりに?
I know it can be used for the other form , i.e some form of compensation or balance (E.g. 高い代わりに便利だった), but all the books i have read including the dictionary of int grammar, state it cant be used in a way such as 高い代わりに (instead of being expensive) | | kaz | 彼は早くかわりに、遅かった
Instead of being early, he was late.
→This is wrong. There is no "(~ku)kawarini" usage.
i-adj+かわりに
e.g.彼は 行動が はやいかわりに ミスが多い。 | | |
