| Comments: | As a concept, more likely to be "helping others" than "helping someone". see also, eijiro: https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=人助け "an act of mercy" really sounds like you're killing someone(or pardoning a crime). I can't see how or why this would be used. I imagine "an act of charity" was the idea. But that also seems unnecessary. In an unexpected twist, this isn't even [vs]. sankoku confirms (lists only as 名). eijiro glosses are all ~をする。 obviously the を is often omitted. But we don't even mark スキー as [vs]. 人助けをして 2983 9.8% 人助けして 1390 4.6% スキーをして 17671 スキーして 8487 |
