Grammar detail: しにいく
しにいく - go to do
Tweet
My current mastery of this grammar:
〜をしにいく
means go to do ~
し is the continuative (
れんようけい
連用形
) form of する (to do), and いく means 'go'. So the meaning of this phrase is as you would expect literally: 'go in order to do (something).いく can be written with or without its customary kanji,
い
行
く.This expression can also be used with nouns, eg:
か
買
いもの
物
にい
行
く go (in order to do) shopping... with the continuative form of regular verbs:
およ
泳
ぎにいく go in order to swim, go swimmingSee also:
