Question about つもり [Nagoyankee? :D] -
07-05-2009, 04:17 AM
I just can't seem to grasp WHERE in the sentence it goes, I understand how it's used (even when it means two different things, 1. intention and 2. belief).
I just don't know where in the sentence it goes. I also put Nagoyankee in the title to hopefully attract his attention to this thread, as I know he can answer it.  --------------------------- I offer free Japanese lessons on my home site 「here!」 [Note: I am proficient in the language (even proficient enough to get hired at a university for teaching), but do not look to me before a native or someone more proficient, like Nagoyankee]

Intention: 今日行くつもりだったが行かなかった。= I had intended to go today but I didn't. この週末中に宿題を終えるつもりです。= I intend to finish my homework during this weekend. メアリーを傷つけるつもりはなかったが、結果として傷 つけてしまった。= I had no intention of hurting Mary but as a reslt, I hurt her. Estimation: 2,000 ドルあれば日本へ行けるつもりだったが、3,000 ドルくらいかかるみたいだ。= I had thought that 2,000 dollars would take me to Japan, but it seems it would take 3,000. Make believe: ゲームを買ったつもりで5,000円貯金した。 I saved 5,000 yen thinking (or making myself believe) that I had bought a game. There used to be an instant ramen named "行ったつもりで北海道". Hokkaido is well-known for its ramen among many other foods. Honshu people dream of going there but some don't get to do so because Hokkaido is far away and a trip there can be very expensive. ＿＿＿＿ As you see, つもり is mostly placed after the verb. But there are exceptions. 回転ずしへ行った。一皿１３０円のつもりが１５０円だ った。= I went to the conveyor belt sushi. I thought it cost 130 yen a plate but it actually cost 150 yen. (Estimation based on old information.)

Interesting, I never knew about the estimation one.
So, even though there are exceptions, つもり is usually a post-verb kind of thing? Just so I can remember for now, until I get more used to it? --------------------------- I offer free Japanese lessons on my home site 「here!」 [Note: I am proficient in the language (even proficient enough to get hired at a university for teaching), but do not look to me before a native or someone more proficient, like Nagoyankee]
