| | Amatuka | Lit: Located in a convenient place | | | dc | i changed the E trans to be a bit more literal and hilite the keyword. | | | bamboo4 | ところ in the first example and that in the second example has completely different meaning, like apples and oranges! | | | dc | hmm, are they different enough to require different entries? i guess thats what you're saying.. | | | bamboo4 | Not necessarily. The commentary added to "tokoro" in linking it to "tokorode" should work. | | | 誠 | agreed. ex # and ex # mean "place". So it shouldn't be considered a grammar. So can be safely removed. ex # has a quite different meaning from the remaining two. Here is 〜ところを : 〜という状況、場面（を）and + 動詞 at the back.
〜たところ has two meanings:
1. ちょっと前に〜終わった, 今〜終わったばかり ； just (finished doin some action)
2. 〜たらその結果.... ；once one had just〜, then it is known that/found out that .... | | | 誠 | In ex #, I think there the ろ being missed out in どころか,
それどころか、今始めたところです | | |
