Hi, I’m hoping someone will be able to help with this.
For kariru, Bunpro uses both “ni” and “kara” to indicate the source of the lending, but doesn’t explain the difference between the two and doesn’t link to any secondary sources either.
A quick AI chat isn’t any help either, and seemingly takes its examples from Bunpro anyway!
The first few Google hits also give examples from people who don’t explain how or why ni or kara might be used.
Is there anyone on here who might shed some light?
In this case with かりる, you can pretty much use から and に interchangably to show the lender. Don’t worry too much for it. Many words in Japanese can use multiple particles.
If there is no difference in meaning between using kara or ni with kariru, then it would be great if Bunpro could highlight this.
Bunpro highlights the nuance in using he or ni with iku, so I am left wondering if there is similar nuance with kariru and Bunpro haven’t told me, of if there is no difference.
According to this, から puts more emphasis on who you’re borrowing from. Though fww I’d also say they’re pretty much interchangable.
