And that's a fact!
Today, you'll learn how to say "if I had to say (who/what/why/where/when)...", let's get to it!
Where furigana?
Like in the previous lesson, we've removed furigana for 言う to aid our TTS. I think you can read that one by now though... right? 😉
～かと言うと: Not a grammar point that speaks exclusively of cats
