に取って (JLPT N3)

À propos de に取って

にとって (or に取(と)って when appearing as kanji) is a structure in Japanese that is used to convey opinions, or just generally to discuss something from a particular perspective. This expression regularly appears after names/pronouns, but may also be used with regular nouns. にとって is often translated as 'to (A)', 'for (A)', or 'concerning (A)'. However, it is used in almost exactly the same way as から見(み)て 'from the perspective of (A)'.

To use にとって, simply attach it to the end of a noun (or noun phrase) that you would like to express a certain viewpoint, judgment, or opinion from.

Fun Fact

にとって comes from the verb 取(と)る 'to take'. In this way, it literally means 'to take up (A)', where (A) is the location (standpoint) being highlighted with the case marking particle に. Broadly, にとって has two main uses, these are as follows:

の身(み)として - From (A)'s standpoint. (When used about people)

の立場(たちば)から見(み)て - When looking at it from (A). (When used about things)

Very good question!

Noun + という・の・な・である + わけ and なAdj + という・である・な + わけ are all correct.
Or to be exact, the opinions differ. Some textbooks/people do not allow Noun + の/な + わけ or なAdj + な + わけ constructions. This is among others why というわけ is so common with nouns and なadjectives. On the other hand, other textbooks/people (for example TRY series) consider the Noun + の + わけ and なAdj + な + わけ to be perfectly natural and grammatical. Noun + な + わけ is also recognized, though it is more common in casual speech.

To sum up, Noun + という/である + わけ is safer option since is more widely used and recognized.

I hope it helps,
Cheers

Thank you @mrnoone, I understand now!

I feel like the hints for this grammar point are kind of misleading - for example 皆で____ will have the hint for everyone, when all that it’s looking for is really for. Just a small gripe, and I’m used to it now, but it was a bit annoying honestly.
