まず、こんにちは。
I’m currently going through 9th lesson of the 5th season of TextFugu, and some examples in the sixth page have made me wonder about something.
Basically, it’s this:
ボビーさん は パーティー に いく はず です。
Meaning: I expect Bobby will go to the party.
ボビーさん は パーティー に いかない はず です。
Meaning: I don’t expect Bobby will go to the party.What I want to know is: if changing いく to いかない actually changes the meaning from “expect” to “not expect”, how am I supposed to write “I expect that Bobby won’t go to the party.”?
I would say that it is probably an error. It should have been:
ボビーさん は パーティー に いかない はず です。
Meaning: I expect Bobby won’t go to the party.Oh, I see. Thank you very much.
