[JLPT grammar]Can I say ろうかで走るな instead of ろうかを走るな?
Today I am going to share the Q&A quoted from my JLPT N5 course!
[Student’s Question]
Sensei,
can I say ろうかで走るな instead of ろうかを走るな?
*ろうか hall, hallway
走(はし)る run
[My Reply]
We usually say ろうかを走るな(no running in the hall).
This を marks movement and ろうか is the route for movement.
The person running down the hall must have a destination.
ろうかで走るな, this で marks the place where the action is taken.
It sounds like the person is running in circles around a certain point in the hall.
This expression is not natural. (Not that it will never happen, but…)
e.g.
I take a walk in the park.
◎公園(こうえん)を散歩(さんぽ)する。=the route for movement, have a destination
？公園で散歩する。
Birds fly in the sky.
◎鳥(とり)が空(そら)をとびます。=the route for movement, have a destination
？鳥が空でとびます。
I hope my answer helps you.😊
In the JLPT course, you can ask me any questions as much as you want.
I will teach you until you get it!
