~にとって/~にとっては/~とりまして(は)

~にとって/~にとっては/~とりまして(は)

Today’s Grammar Point: ~にとって/~にとっては/~にとりまして(は)

~にとって is an expression to state whose point of view you are talking. You can translate it with a preposition like “for ~” or “to ~” but it actually means “from ~’s point of view” and usually a statement of a judgement or evaluation follows ~にとっては. If you want to emphasise the point of view is different from others, you can add は afterwards (i.e. ~にとっては). In a formal sentence, you can also say ~にとりまして(は).

Connection

  • [noun] にとって(は)
  • [noun] にとりまして(は)
