Grammar a Day - Level 1 [ によって (niyotte-2) ]

によって (niyotte-2) - depending on

--- Examples ---
天気によっては来ます
depending on the weather, i will come

結果によっては採用しないことがあります。
Depending upon the outcome, you may not be hired.

天気によっては中止することがあります。
Depending upon the weather, the event may be cancelled.

--- Comments ---
天気によって来ます is weird. It should be
'天気次第で行きます.'
(contributor: bamboo4)

how about
　天気によっては来ます (contributor: dc)

If you say 天気によっては来ます,it is very likely that you are
talking about some third party or things. Like in Nikko, there are many
monkeys, and you can say that to indicate that those monkeys will show up
depending on the weather.

If you are talking about yourself, it is normal to say
天気によってはゆきます or
天気によっては帰って来ます but one do not normally see
来ます very often.

erm, sorry my encoding messed up again, that first line should be 'saiyou
shinai _koto_ ga arimasu'

delete button doesn't seem to work :(
(contributor: Snake)

snake hiya - deleted your mojibake post above... dunno why your delete btn
is not working - are you logged in?
also the encoding, i haven't seen probs with. what browser/OS are you on?
(contributor: dc)

dc, I cannot delete my comment, too. When I am logged off, I cannot see
delete btn.　でしょ？ (contributor: Miki)

I could delete an example I added. (contributor: Miki)

yes, you can only delete your own comments - so you have to be logged in so
the system knows which are yours! otherwise an anonymous user could come in
and delete everything... (contributor: dc)

I was logged in, and i tried it again just then logged in, but no go. I'm
using Opera though.. gomen
ブラウザによっては削除出来ないことがあります（＾＾；
(contributor: Snake)

dang. that would class as a bug then. might be Opera cookie/session
handling. I recommend firefox but IE seems OK too. (contributor: dc)

Firefox cannot handle Japanese fonts. (contributor: bamboo4)

ex1309 天気 によっては 来ます can also be used such when you were
at a gathering and asked if you comes to next gathering.　
一郎：「次回はきますか？」Will you come next time?
花子：「天気によっては来ます。」 (contributor: Miki)

I use Firefox and have had no problems with japanese fonts..? (contributor:
dc)
