| | Amatuka | See also 例え話 たとえばなし (speaking hypothetically) | | | Miki | DCへ ひらがな in the title shoulbe be た_と_え. | | | Amatuka | Got it. | | | trag | In addition たとえ (and also たとえば）means "example." | | | Miki | たとえ、たとえば meanings example is written 例え、例えば in kanji. | | | sagittarius | perhaps the heading for this section should be 「たとえ～ても」？ | | | sagittarius | what's the difference in nuance between a たとえ～ても sentence and a plain ても sentence? #272 could also be written 医者でもガンには勝てません, couldn't it? | | | Lau777 | Can this be used in the negative past tense 「たとえしまなかったも・・・」 and have the same meaning as in English (If it hadn't been done...)? | | | karekora | sagittarius, use たとえ～ても instead of the normal 'plain' ても when you want to emphasize your point more | | | tigert | しまなかったも??? なんだろう 文字化け? Lau777 I think you could use しなかったら to have the meaning if it wasn`t done.
