- Expressing about time and location Hello, everyone. Cannot find any explanation in Google, so would be grateful if someone explained to me this: How do you express time AND location in one sentence? It seems the construction for locations is 在(place), the same is as for time(for example, 在1xxx年(in 1xxx year)). How to combine these two? For example, “In 1967 in Rome…” Would it be any different if I want to use a particular date “… (verb) on December 26th in Rome”? Thanks.August 4, 201780
- Would be interesting to hear an opinon of Japanese, but since no one is here yet I'll give my 2 cents.
From what I know I would say that かっこいい is mainly used to describe something or someone looking cool. A stylish girl, sharp looking man, well tuned car and etc. Also it is used to describe a person acting cool. A gardener who normally isn't considered cool can do his job with presice, fast and efficient movements, so it is also kakkoii. So, in other words, if you want to express your... admiration, I guess, you use this word.
In case of 凄い, it is broader and used to express amazement by something, positive or negative one. It depends on the context and tone of the speaker. If used positively, I don't think it is so different from English "cool". If used negatively, it can be translated as "ridiculous", "strange" and etc.
So yes, in some cases they can be interchanged.0 votedJuly 4, 20170
