Introduction
According to ME, Japanese grammar is awesome. And I'm the only source that matters... or am I?
This lesson is all about things we hear from sources. Let's dive in!
によると: According to whommmsttt???
構成
Nounによると
Example:
→ マイクによると、スティーブは10時にはもう寝ていたようだ。
”According to Mike, it seems that Steve was already in bed sleeping at 10.”
によると is a fairly straightforward piece of grammar. All it does is attach to a noun, and say "According to (noun)..." or "Based on/from (noun)...". We can then follow that up with whatever information the speaker gathered from the source noun.
For example:
1.1
天気予報によると、明日はなかなか寒くなるらしいよ！
