Relevant grammar question here. (Fourth post). (contributor: Amatuka)

かたがた is interchangeable to 兼ねて (contributor: bamboo4)

Yeah, but 兼ねて takes a direct object particle - かたがた doesn't.
(contributor: Amatuka)

whats a direct object particle? it doesn't require a は・を after the
item it relates to? (contributor: dc)

Amatuka means, for example, を in 仕事を兼ねて京都見物にゆく
(contributor: bamboo4)

I added 'kanete' (兼ねて) in the grammar section, but I cannot edit it!
