said といいました
Meet the wonderful
'と
to.' Mr. と
can act as a quotation marker ("). Don't confuse this with the と
that means 'and.' Very often if you are quoting someone or some source. This
is best shown with examples:

「俺はスーパマン」と言いました。 ore wa su-paman to iimashita. He said, "I am Superman." あの絵は・#92;世紀に作ったと書いてあります。 ano e wa juu seiki ni tsukutta to kaite arimasu. The book says (it is written) that this painting was made in the 10th century. It can also be used to mark sound effects of things or animals: There are many other usages for 'to.' Paying attention to each usage will help you get a good grasp. |
