À propos de といい

One of the regular uses of the particle is to express 'if'. However, unlike some other structures (like なら, たら, and ), implies that the 'if' result of is something that will definitely happen, or is a natural consequence of (A) happening. When combined with the い-Adjective いい, it means 'if (A), it would be good'.

This construction may be used with any phrase ending in a word in its standard form.

Because expresses a 'certain' outcome, the 'good' in this grammar construction often sounds quite strong, leading to といい regularly being translated closer to 'I hope (A)', or 'I wish (A)'.

There are several situations in which this grammar point can be used to express that you are hoping something for yourself, or hoping something for someone else. This is primarily determined by the use of な, or だけど (hoping for yourself), or (hoping for others/mutual benefit).

Caution

When this expression finishes with けど, けれども, or , it can imply that there are some external factors that will make the desired result difficult to achieve.

        You will often see a small ぁ at the end of a sentence like どうしようかなぁ - it gives the impression that the speaker is trailing off into thought.

        I believe these small vowels at the end of a sentence are similar to using ~ or ー at the end of a sentence instead of a full stop. The sentence ends with a prolonged pronunciation of the last word, indicating an ongoing thought process or empathy of the writer/speaker.

        It’s kind of like phonetic spelling in English, where you intentionally mangle words to convey certain additional emotion in your writing.

        Hi, what does this part mean? it is not clickable and it is the only example which uses a な in both parts of the sentence.
