| Comment | While I believe sense #1 hints at it, I think that it should be explicitly mentioned that in classical/archaic Japanese and even in some modern Japanese works, this verb suffix is used to explicitly form the past tense (especially with copula verbs) in a poetic way. Sometimes, in storytelling, you will encounter an opening line such as:
昔、...ありけり。 While it could be considered the narrator's "recollection" of the past, clearly the intent is to say "Once, there was/were..." in a poetic way. I do not think a layperson is going to automatically associate "past tense" with "recollection" of the past. I am not sure how you would want to handle it, however, but I do think some clarification is needed. |
