I know, generally, multiples of the same particles in a sentence is okaaay, but perhaps not natural-sounding in everyday conversation? I'm trying to create longer sentences by stringing together clauses:



ninjaっぽいになるために、日光に行った。



Can any particles be dropped here? What should I change? As I understand, へ is used to emphasize direction, but I feel like I should be emphasizing the actual location.






particle-に

「～っぽいになる」 is grammatically incorrect. 「～っぽい」 conjugates to 「～っぽく」 in the adverbial/continuative form. cf: 「かわいい」→「かわいく」



日光に行った can be rephrased as 日光へ行った without changing the meaning. (～ヘ行った sounds a tiny little bit more formal to my native ear.)



So you can say:




Ninjaっぽくなるために、日光に行った。

Ninjaっぽくなるために、日光へ行った。




(You could also drop the に in ために, as in 「Ninjaっぽくなるため、日光へ行った。」 but this would sound pretty formal.)



You can also use 「なりたくて」, "wanting/hoping to be~", as in:




Ninjaっぽくなりたくて、日光に行った。

  • Eh that's interesting - why does dropping the に in ために make it more formal?

  • I can't say why... but 「V+ため～～」 often sounds more formal than 「V+ために～～」 when meaning "in order to~~" (purpose).

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
