Detailed Grammar notes:
Processing keyword: ~ことになっている (〜koto ni natte iru)
The grammar point ~ことになっている (~koto ni natte iru) is used in Japanese to express rules, customs, plans, or expectations that have been established, often by external factors rather than personal decisions. It translates to phrases like "it has been decided that...", "it's a rule that...", or "it's expected that...". Understanding this structure is essential for discussing regulations, societal norms, and scheduled events in Japanese.
Attach ことになっている to the plain form of a verb.
**[Verb (plain form)] + ことになっている**
Verb Form | + | ことになっている |
---|---|---|
食べる (taberu) | + | ことになっている |
行かない (ikanai) | + | ことになっている |
~ことになっている | ~ことにしている | |
---|---|---|
Decision Maker | Others / External Rules | Speaker / Personal Decision |
Implication | Obligation, Expectation | Habit, Personal Resolution |
Example | 禁煙することになっている (No smoking is allowed) | 禁煙することにしている (I've decided to quit smoking) |
