"You turn left on this corner."

Translation: ここのかどを左にまがります。

[zazakoolaid]

This should be このかど

[Shun-suke]

In this sentence, このかど and ここのかど are almost same. The difference is like "this corner" and "corner, here".

[Thkgk]

Why is kocchi wrong here? "こっちのかどを左にまがります。" こっち can also mean here.

[GalacticKe]

I think ”こっち” usually means "this way", whereas ”ここ” typically means "here". I'm not sure what determines whether it is "this way's corner" or "here's corner"; it seems to be that it should just be "このかど": "this corner".

[kl0051]

I like to think of this sentence as making the corner itself turn (かどをまがります) TO the left (左に), as opposed to someone turning left on a corner.

Is it just me or am I the only one that finds that helpful somehow?

[starsprung]

曲がる is an intransitive verb so thinking of it like that might mislead you into thinking you can use 曲がる to mean "to turn something". 曲げる is the transitive form. を is also sometimes also used with intransitive verbs of motion to indicate a location passed through, the origin of the motion or the direction of an action.

If you find it helpful to remember things incorrectly that's all you.

Japanese is unnatural.
