"This is important for her."

Translation: これはかのじょにとってたいせつです。

[LM0Uxa]

What's the point of adding とって?

[Falcon198016]

取って means as for (blank). You have to put a に before it to signal that its for in this case, her.

[V2Blast]

～にとって means "according to ~", "for ~", "to ~", or "concerning ~".

[B_2_H]

I had にとってas one of my building blocks. Talk about confusing. Having a particle attached to the next word puts my brain in knots.

[R0dluvan]

It makes sense actually, because "totte" always goes together with "ni" when used like this; it means "as far as ... is concerned" or "according to". Compared to just using "ni" it emphasizes the fact we're talking about somebody's point of view.

これは彼女にとって大切です

I typed this with the kanji and was marked wrong. I've reported it (10/30/17).

EDIT: I think it's accepted now (2/22/18).

[NavarrB]

とって is quite confusing and i don't know what it means at this juncture. I know とても as very, which would make sense, but not とって

[Aelianos]

I'm wondering if it's more casual? Like こちら vs こっち？

[Breedam]

My answer (which was marked correct) was かのじょにとってこれはたいせつです.

Can anyone tell me if there is a difference or emphasis shift if I reorder the words like this?

As far as I can tell the difference seems to be "she regards this as important" verses "this is (the topic) she regards as important" but my Japanese isn't great.

[boo913]

Would any answer with 大事 (daiji) Be wrong? Is the neuance of "important" different? What would a valid answer (with 大事) look like?

[breazu]

They sound close but they mean different things. とても is an adjective, "very". とって, on the other hand, is more like a particle in terms of its function. It means "to" or "for", as in "this thing is very important to me".

[ellieplants]

i thought it was daisetsu???

[V2Blast]

It's たいせつ (taisetsu).
