We always use keyi to help Chinese learners of Japanese to understand the meaning of -temoii, but it should be noticed that they are sometimes not symmetric. In Chinese, either the act of the first person or the act of the second person can be used with keyi or keyi~ ma to express permission or requests. In Japanese, the act of the first person can be followed by -temoii or -temoiika, but the act of the second person can be followed by -temoii, not by -temoiika. It is allowed that the act of the second person is followed by -temoiinoka, but it does not express requests. Keyi can be used to express potentials, permission or requests. So in this paper it is also discussed that how these three expressions can have overlaps among them in Japanese. |
