直に
|
To be directly pressed against – usually used with objects. For instance, “Don’t put the chair directly on the floor, it’ll scratch. Put the chair on this throw-rug.” or, “Don’t put the coat on the baby directly, he’s allergic to wool. Put this nylon undershirt on him and THEN put the coat on.” Unlike the related word つなぐ、 直に refers to things that are not connected or bonded to each other, it refers to adjacent, moveable layers.
