Ichijikan mo aruku kurai nara, takushī ni notta hō ga ii.
“I’d rather take a taxi than walk for a whole hour.”  💡 The first option is something the speaker wants to avoid, and the second option is presented as the better alternative.  👉 Swipe through the post to learn the form and try the Mini Quiz!
