What is the translation of はこう ? (from はこうやって)
I know that it would mean something like : This is how (I do) ... Yet, I cannot find the word in any dictionary. I just find the meaning of "wave height".
What is the translation of はこう ? (from はこうやって)
I know that it would mean something like : This is how (I do) ... Yet, I cannot find the word in any dictionary. I just find the meaning of "wave height".
I think it should be parsed as the は
particle, こう
"in this way" and やって
(from the verb やる
"to do").
If at the end of the sentence, I think it would most likely be "as for ..., do it in this way", but if in the middle or start of the sentence, こうやって
can be translated as "thus" or "in this way", for example:
こうやって私はその機械を作った。
I made the machine in this way.
