Discussion about this grammar
This section has been archived, and no new posts can be added. Please use the discussion form(s) above.
this can also be used with the first verb in dictionary form (as opposed to volitional), but I think the second has to be in the negative potential (not plain negative) - 作 るにも作 れない etc.
Not sure if this grammar construct is part of this or has its own page, but 新 完 全 マスター文 法 N1 also lists ～に～ない together with～（よ）うにも～ない, as in:
子 供 に大 切 な書 類 を汚 れて、泣 くに 泣 けない 心 境 だ。
Also groups together ～に～ず, as in:
野 菜 をたくさんもらったが、食 べきれない。捨 てるに 捨 てられず 困 っている。
Again, sorry if this is the wrong page, I just couldn't find a page for ～に～ない and my book lists this together with （よ）うにも～ない
