Back to back verbs sort of... - Jessie81 - 2012-06-02
Hey everyone i was wondering how you would use "back to back"verbs.
Like this sentence:"I know how to read this character,but i don't know its meaning".
Verbs being know and read,or is know not considered a verb here?...
Idk please help. :)

Most of the time, the notion of "know how to" is expressed with the potential form:
この字は読めるけど、その意味はわからない。
or often you can also use [stem+方がわかる]:
この字の読み方はわかるけど、その意味はわからない。
