Receiving a request with 〜れる
Grammar Explanation: Receptive verbs with 〜れる
Rize tells Cocoa a bit about fortune telling with coffee.
- リゼ:
- 「頼まれたらやってるけどチノの占いよく当たるんだ」
- “I do it when I receive a request to, but Chino's fortunes are usually accurate.”
- Literal: “I do it if I receive a request, but Chino's fortunes hit often.”
- “I do it when I receive a request to, but Chino's fortunes are usually accurate.”
Key Points
1頼まれたら means when someone asks her
- Rize is the omitted recipient of a request. The person making each request remains unspecified.
2頼む becomes 頼まれる
- The godan verb uses 頼ま plus れる. Adding たら creates the condition “if or when I am asked”.
3けど shifts from Rize’s practice to Chino’s accuracy
- Rize says she performs the fortune telling on request, then adds that Chino’s readings よく当たる, or prove accurate a lot.
