〜限りでは・限り(の)

About

〜限かぎりでは is used to make a statement that is framed using the limits of one's knowledge/ability, or by a limiting factor like a set of data.

〜限かぎりでは can be approximated with "as far as", as in "as far as I know", or "as far as I can see". When ～限かぎりでは attaches to nouns, it can be translated as "as far as (noun) goes...".

The 〜限かぎりでは pattern can attach to casual form verbs (and occasionally nouns).

E.g. 今朝けさ見みた限かぎり(では)、まだ届とどいていませんでした。 "As far as I could see this morning, it hadn't been delivered yet."

E.g. 私わたしが知しる限かぎり(では)、マイクとゆみは付つき合あっていません。 "As far as I know, Mike and Yumi are not dating."

E.g. 調査ちょうさ結果けっかの限かぎりでは、その党とうが勝かつとは思おもえません。 "As far as the survey results go, I do not think that party will win."

〜限かぎりでは can drop 「では」, changing the nuance of the sentence by removing は's emphasis on the following information, and as a result, placing more weight on the information that precedes 限かぎり.

The (noun)の限かぎり(verb) and ～限かぎりの(noun) patterns are also possible, and indicate that something will be done "to the extent of X", or that one will "do as much as they can".

E.g. できる限かぎりのことをします。 "I will do as much as I can."

E.g. 力ちからの限かぎり応援おうえんしますよ！ "I'm going to support you as much as I'm able!"
