| | dc | what does this mean? example:
山は春めく
| | | blabby | This grammar is quite difficult because it is hard to translate into English. The best translation I can come up with is
* to become ~like (山は春めく - "The mountain became spring-like")
* to show signs of (show signs of spring)
* ~ish (他人めく - "strangerish")？
* ~ly (冗談めく - Jokingly/皮肉めく - sarcastically)
* ~ing (謎めく - Puzzling) | | | blabby | Another interesting thing about this grammar is its use with 擬音語/擬態語
きらきらする = きらめく To glitter
ひらひらする = ひらめく To flash/flutter
どきどきする? = ときめく To pulpitate
If anyone can correct this or has more information, I would love to hear it. | | | dc | きらめく、ときめく are totally different animals from 皮肉めいた、他人めいた。 | | | Miki | 名詞や副詞、形容詞や形容動詞の語幹base＋めく means like something or being in a condtion of something. | | | blabby | I thought that きらめく/ときめく was different to 皮肉めく/他人めく too. But in my old grammar dictionary and here:
http://ws.31rsm.ne.jp/~toolware/dictionary/412.html
they are treated as the same grammar point. Can anyone clarify this?
| | | Suitto | Natsumeku/Natsumeita/Natsumeite
I think they all mean "summer-like". | | | Miki | That's just the transformation of natsumeku 夏めく. Yes, all means "summer-like" すっかり夏めいてまいりました。皆様いかがお過ごしでしょうか。 Natsumeku here is used as compliments of the season for June in a letter. | | |
