Shortly before finally watching this video, I binged a romantic drama called 君に届け. Late in the series, the female lead meets the male lead's father, and then and at several later points the male lead comments on his father seeming to like her... using 気に入る. Learning of the nuance is very interesting considering the characterization of the father and how his son sees him. The father is a very strict type, the kind of father who struggles with actually showing any kind of positive emotion towards his son, leading the son to believe his father doesn't actually like him. Each time he says his father likes the female lead, it has an undertone of "at least he likes one of us". So to then also have this "he thinks he'll use you" nuance on top of that makes it pretty neat as a dialogue detail that gets lost in translation to some extent.

Kaname strikes again with the clearest explanations EVER! Another note, but I found taking the direct translation to be very helpful for understanding it's usage. 気 (ki) is from Chinese "qi" meaning kind of like your "positive/life energy" or "residuals of your positive energy." So in the phrase, 気に入る , the 入る means "enter." So if you 気に入る something, it can be directly translated to "your qi has enetered this thing or person." When "qi" enters something else, that "something else" has become a part of you in some way. It has your "mark" on it. Just like if you wear a shirt, and then someone else wears it, you can still use 気に入る because your "qi" is all over it. You can kind of think of it like your own scent, just like how animals use their scent to mark something that is theirs (especially territory). A more pleasant way to think about it is like you have paint on your hands and the 気に入る thing is something you touch with your paint-soaked hands. Now that it has your paint on it, it has become part of you, something that you will use or find use for continually in the future. I hope this explanation helps someone, or at least provides a bit more of a "direct translation" understanding! As always thank you Kaname for your wonderful teachings! :) Much love!
@Rationalific Жыл бұрын
If I understand correctly, it may be that the other thing has entered your "ki"... Usually, the particle "に" means that prior word is the destination. So I think it may be that the other thing has now entered your "ki". I'd think that "気が(X に)入る" (if it were a phrase) would be closer to your "ki" going into something else. However, 1) I may very well be wrong, and even if I'm right, 2) your explanation still makes some sense, but just in the opposite direction.
@hooligans7618 Жыл бұрын
@@Rationalific I like your point! It could be flipped on its head and viewed in a similar way. Ofc I'm no fancy professor or anything but I see 気に入る where に is a target location particle. I.e. 「そのビルに入る」where ビル (building) is being entered (by someone or something) and not that the building is entering someone. Idk if that makes complete sense but it's cool to look at it both ways and still have it make sense one way or another loll

It is often used in somewhat asymmetric relations that took a while to develop, like Heidi and the Grandfather.

So, it's kind of like "favorite" in English. It's kind of weird to say: "That shirt [you're wearing] is my favorite!" Because it implies that you've worn that shirt before. 気に入り = favorite 好き = like Obviously there may be more nuance, but that's the closest direct translation I could come up with.

@@Rationalific That actually makes a lot of sense. 一番好き almost being "absolute favorite of all time" and 気に入り being "one of the favorites."

From my own understanding, さすがに is used when you're expressing that something was just as you expected, or just as it should be. An example I have is from a video game I've played, where if you do things to make a certain friend happy, she'll say "さすが友達よね〜" which means "As expected from a friend~". It can be used to indicate sarcasm too (when someone didn't do what they were expected to). That Japanese Man Yuuta made a video explaining that term if you're interested in looking on his channel. The video was called "how to be sarcastic in Japanese".

It might sound weird, but I'm conflating this sense of "ownership over time" with the object's holding some piece of the subject's 'spirit' or selfhood - which is why it relates to sentimental things like songs or barstools. In crafts like woodworking, the best tools are extensions of the craftsman's own self. Same with its use in things that are deeply disliked, since such objects of dislike tend to reflect one's self in some disturbing way. But such an understanding might be grafting a Western (i.e., Lockean) sense of ownership and private property onto a totally separate, Japanese perspective.
