| Jan 27, 2023 at 17:15 | comment | added | George | @aguijonazo: Is it not fair to characterize 「どの交通機関を使って駅まで行きますか」 as a conjunction? It seems to me it is since (i) 使う is in the て-form and (ii) the sentence could be broken up into two separate sentences made from its "conjuncts" (e.g.: 「まで行きます。どの交通機関を使うか。」). Doesn't this make it a conjunction? | |
| Jan 27, 2023 at 7:39 | comment | added | aguijonazo | 駅までどの交通機関を使って行きますか and どの交通機関を使って駅まで行きますか are asking the same thing with a slight difference in focus. I don’t see why we should see them as a conjunction of anything when we don’t (as I suppose we don’t by your definition) 駅までどの交通機関で行きますか and どの交通機関で駅まで行きますか. That distinction seems totally unnecessary. | |
| Jan 27, 2023 at 6:49 | comment | added | George | Is that sentence a conjunction of (駅まで行きますか) and (どの交通機関を使って)? Or put differently: is it equivalent to どの交通機関を使って駅まで行きますか? | |
