Questions & Answers about kono heya wa hiatari ga yokute, sentakumono mo yoku kawakisou desu.
What does 日当たり mean here?
日当たり means sun exposure or how well sunlight reaches a place.
So 日当たりがよい / いい is a very common expression meaning:
- to get good sunlight
- to be sunny
- to have good exposure to the sun
In this sentence, この部屋は日当たりがよくて means the room gets plenty of sunlight.
Why is it この部屋は but 日当たりが?
This is a very common は vs. が pattern.
- この部屋は sets the overall topic: as for this room
- 日当たりが marks the specific thing being described: its sunlight exposure
So the structure is roughly:
- As for this room, its sunlight exposure is good...
Using が after 日当たり is natural because 日当たり is the thing that is good.
Why is it よくて? Is that the て-form of いい?
