| Comments: | The example sentences in this entry are not properly matched up with the different meanings they are meant to illustrate. They should be rearranged as follows: 1. to come true (wish)esp. 叶う • もし病気の人が千羽の鶴を折ると、その人の願いが叶うの。If a sick person folds one thousand paper cranes, her wish will come true. 2. to be suited Usually written using kana alone, See also 道理に適う • 彼は我々の心にかなう人物だ。He is a man after our own hearts. 3. to match (implies competition); to rival; to bear (e.g. I can't bear the heat)esp. 敵う • バレエ音楽の指揮者として彼にかなうものはいない。He stands alone as a conductor of ballet music. In addition, I would suggest adding a comment that かなう in the third meaning above (敵う: to be a match for) is usually used in a NEGATIVE sentence construction, as in the example you provide, whose accurate but free translation, however, happens to mask the negative construction: "He stands alone as . . . ," i.e., "There is no one who can rival him as . . . ." |
