there are lots of different bakari~~s! bakari bakari! (contributor: dc)
I think the と quotation in the second example /may/ have an implied
言わない after it. (contributor: Amatuka)
'Seems to be used in casual/slang speech with negative verb stem + ん so
as to mean 'as if to ' without actually doing so.' (contributor: dc)
Appeared in 2000 JLPT level 1 (contributor: Amatuka)
Meaning changed back. Seems that I was right in the first place.
(contributor: Amatuka)
hmm I don't see the difference this and another ばかりに。The same
nuance when you add （言わん）.
絶好の機会と（言わん）ばかりに、飛びついた。
(contributor: Miki)
Maybe we need more examples for the other bakarini[/b] but it seems to have
a qualitative (type) difference to me. (contributor: Amatuka)
Could just be down to lack of familiarity with forms like 言わん
though... (contributor: Amatuka)
is 言わん just short for iwanai? like
'iwanai bakari ni -> just about not saying (but its almost as if it was
said)
(contributor: Snake)
You would say 言わなかったばかりに and 言わんばかりに, but
not 言わないばかりに.
(contributor: bamboo4)
言わん can be short for 言わない, but in this case, 言わん =
言わむ is an old fashioned subjunctive, equivalent to 言おう.
I was highly confused at first until I discovered that the final 'ん' can
signal two different inflectional forms (contributor: DealPete)
Maybe this should be listed as 'と(言わん)ばかりに'. I've seen lots
of examples such as
うちの犬は「散歩に行こうよ」とばかりに僕の顔を見て吠えた。
My dog looked at me and barked as if to say 'let's go for a walk!'
(contributor: blabby)
In Californish it would be 'was like' (contributor: Bakurosareta)
I think it would be helpful if the Authors of grammar posts made sure to
include a grammar note. examples are helpful, but good solid grammatical
information makes it easier to memorize and utilize in real life
situations. (contributor: tigert)
