À propos de 向き

() is another noun in Japanese that is frequently used as a suffix. () comes from the intransitive verb ()く, meaning 'to face'. This word is often attached to the end of other nouns, in order to show that something is 'facing (A)', or 'suitable for (A)'.

Due to () being intransitive, it usually implies that something is facing toward (A) naturally, or through chance. Because of this, it may convey that something is 'suitable for (A)', but not necessarily designed specifically for it.

Caution

()け, coming from the transitive verb ()ける is used far more often to express that something has been specifically designed for (A).

When comparing () and ()け, the primary difference is that () conveys that something is 'appropriate for (A)', while ()け is closer to 'intended for (A)'.

        A few questions related to the grammar point’s example sentences:

        それだと向きが逆ですよ。
        What is the だと doing here?

        誰にでも向き不向きがあるのは当然だ。
        Would it be possible to receive a little more explanation as to how 向き不向き is interacting here to get the translation " Of course, everyone has different suitabilities."? Both at component level (向き and 不向き) and with the sentence as a whole?

        向きが変わってきたようだ。
        Why does 風’s pronunciation change here? Is 風向き a set phrase?

        And finally, if it’s not too much trouble, it didn’t look like there were any example sentences for the usages notes

        • [A向きB is used to express that B is suitable for A. However, B is not necessarily designed for A]

        and

        • [A向けB is used to express that B has been designed to be used by A. However, B is not necessarily limited to A]

        Would it be possible to see some?

      • Daru

        Daru

        Basically, a って。だと can mean すると or だと depending on the context! So it’s just basically marking ‘that’ as the subject.

        It’s a set expression/phrase! It’s just basical...
