Thinking of delivering milk with 〜ようと思う

歩(あゆむ):

「ああ…バイトができるな」

“Yeah, I can get a part-time job.”

「オレは牛乳(ぎゅうにゅう)配達(はいたつ)をしようと思ってる」

“I'm thinking of doing milk delivery.”

Key Points

1. しようと思ってる states a current intention

   • 〜ようと思う means to be thinking of doing something or to intend to do it.

   • The progressive 思ってる shows this is Ayumu’s current plan, not a sudden decision in the moment.

2. しよう is the volitional form of する

   • 牛乳(ぎゅうにゅう)配達(はいたつ)をする is “to do milk delivery”.

   • Since the verb is する, the volitional form used before と思う is しよう.

3. オレは sets Ayumu against possible alternatives

   • After talking about high school jobs generally, オレは frames this as Ayumu’s own plan.

   • The subject marker は helps contrast his choice with what someone else might do.
