Amatuka

Amatuka

V = verb

Amatuka

I was just going through the grammer "bekida". I find this grammer is figuring in both level 3 and level 2. I find that the expalnations are contradictory to each other. I feel the entry in level 3 should be deleted .

prahlada

this is the same べき that is in level 3 the only diffrence is the だ sentence final, which has nothing to do with the should or ought to part of the grammar. it is just the casual sentance ending. so I think this entry should be merged with the level 3 and then deleted.

tigert

I think 真実 in ex #141 should be 信実 according to the translation.
