Wayの例文や意味・使い方に関するQ&A

A: It means that you’re saying to this person that you don’t behave or act like they do. You are trying to draw a contrast between the two of you, typically to say that you are better than this person. It also could be that you were trying to say that you are different and less than this person.

Examples

More: I’m not the way you are about keeping the house clean. I actually keep the house clean.

Less: I’m not the way you are, I don’t know as much about this language as you do.

Just different: I’m not the way you are about cars, but I am the way you are about motorcycles.

A: It means: make sure there is plenty of space between what you are moving, and what is coming.

For example, let’s say there is someone learning to skateboard. There is a big rock where the person is learning. Someone would say, “get the rock well out of the way.” This let’s someone know to move the rock far away so the person learning to skateboard doesn’t hit the rock.

A: They're pretty much the same! You can omit "on" or leave it in, doesn't really matter. In natural conversation, I would be more likely to use the first one.

A: A "way" is like ”方”. It's a method of doing something. There can be a lot of these for one thing you do.
A "means" is a method by which something is possible.
A "resort" is a way, but one that you don't want to use. It's generally bad.

You really want to find a "way" to travel more. You could work longer hours, and be paid more for that; you could ask for a raise; or you could beg your family for money. You obviously don't want to do the last one, but the first two don't work, so you "resort" to begging for money.

For "means", I like to use criminal justice. In a trial, you need to prove that the suspect had means, motive, and opportunity to commit the crime.
Motive: a reason.
Opportunity: there was a time they could have committed the crime.
Means: that they were physically able to commit the crime.

A: No way is when you can't believe something is true or when you refuse to do something. "No way, that can't be true!" "Will you do the dishes for me?" "No way!".

You're kidding is similar but it's specifically for when you are shocked or in disbelief.
"I heard Mr Smith cheated on his wife".
"You're kidding!"

A: I'm sure you know the literal meanings of the two phrases. Their difference is simply that they have different literal meanings. 😄

A: You use "by the way" when you need to add in something that is a little new to the conversation.
- "Are you traveling to France next month?"
- "Yes. By the way, I need to borrow your French phrasebook."
(You can also use "and" instead of "by the way")

You use "anyway" to change the topic.
- "I went to the Louvre, then I saw the Eiffel Tower. Paris was so beautiful! Anyway, let's talk about your vacation now. I heard you went to Italy."

A: "You are too kind" is usually used to express thanks.

If someone does something rather nice for you, then you can respond: "Thank you, you're too kind."

Or if you compliment someone and they feel like they don't deserve that much praise, they might say: "Oh, you're too kind."

I would say that it's probably more commonly used by speakers in older generations.

A: that's interesting. I dont know the full context, but it seems like he was using "fucked up" as a way of saying "crazy." like the last concert was crazy, or something like that

A: It could refer to time or a physical location. Way back in time is a long time ago. If I say I'm way back in the room, it means at the very back of the room. Or if someone needs to know the way back, it means the route back to a place they came from, like the way back to the hotel. In this sense way means route, in the others way means very.

A: The thing is you don't call old people elderly, the government or businesses use it to refer to them indirectly: Health Insurance for the Elderly. -or- Protecting the rights of the elderly. etc. But when you address older people as such, you call them seniors or senior citizens.
