Grammar usage notes
From the "Giving and receiving" lesson:
- (Recipient) は (Giver) に/から (Object) を もらう
- "One thing to note with もらう is that it assumes you are identifying with the recipient, so it would be weird to use it when you are the giver!"
- (Recipient) は (Giver) に/から (Object) を もらう
- "One thing to note with もらう is that it assumes you are identifying with the recipient, so it would be weird to use it when you are the giver!"
Questions/Discussion
Can I swap out よねださんに to よねださんから?
probably not with もらう, since in any case から marks "from" (who gave the thing, giver) and に marks "to" (who got the thing, recipient). so nah the particles are actually antonyms and can't be switched around without changing/flipping the meaning.
