Questions & Answers about ryoukin to zeikin o goukeisuru to, koutsuuhi mo irete mo yasui to omoimasu.
Why does と appear three times here, and are they all the same?
They’re three different uses of と:
- 料金 と 税金: と = “and” (joins exactly two items).
- 合計する と、: と = conditional “when/if,” often implying a natural/resulting consequence.
- 安い と 思います: と = quotative “that,” marking the content of the thought: “I think that it’s cheap.”
What nuance does the conditional と in 合計すると have compared with たら, ば, or なら?
- 合計すると: “When you add them up, (as a natural result) …” Neutral, often used for general truths or predictable results.
- 合計したら: “If/when you add them up (in that specific case) …” More event/situation-focused.
- 合計すれば: “If you add them up …” More hypothetical/conditional and a bit formal or written.
- 合計するなら: “If you’re going to add them up / If the condition is that we add them up …” Assumes a premise you’re considering.
Why are there two も’s in 交通費も入れても? What does each one do?
- First も in 交通費も: additive “also/even,” emphasizing transportation costs in addition to the fee and tax.
- Second も in 入れても: part of the pattern V-て + も meaning “even if.” Together: “Even if you also include the transportation cost.”
Is 交通費も入れても redundant? Can I drop one of the も’s?
