Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
When to use it
Forms like 「先ほど言ったように」and 「次のように」are everywhere in meetings and writing.
Meaning
- Now learn two new uses of the same ように.
- First, as a preface: 「ご存じのように、来週は休みです」= as you know, next week is a holiday.
- Second, for an example or simile: 「子どものように泣いた」= cried like a child; before a noun, 「〜ような N」.
How to attach
In the simile use, a noun + の usually comes first.
Versus what you know
- N4「〜ように」marked purpose (「忘れないように」).
- N4To tell them apart — if the feeling is "in order to", it's purpose; if it's "just like", it's this.
