Grammar detail: よく
My current mastery of this grammar:
よく is an adverb meaning 'often'. It is commonly used in the expression よく
た
食
べる meaning 'eat (something) often'.よく is derived from よい, meaning 'good', and so it can also be written
よ
良
く, although it is more commonly found written with hiragana. (Unlike よ
良
い, which is typically found written using the kanji.)In English the adverbial form of 'good' is 'well', so you would expect
よ
良
くた
食
べました to mean 'ate well'. In some cases that meaning is intended, and the only way to tell is from the context. In rare examples, both meanings are possible and cannot easily be distinguished - for example, よくた
食
べてよくね
寝
る can mean 'eat well, sleep well', or 'eat often, sleep well'.Problem with this grammar? Question or
