A relative adverb can often be rewritten using the relative pronoun “that”, but this depends on the context and the structure of the sentence. Here’s an explanation:
関係副詞は、文脈や文の構造によっては関係代名詞 “that” を使って書き換えられることがよくあります。以下がその説明です：
1. Relative Adverbs (when, where, why):
Relative adverbs are used to introduce relative clauses and modify a noun referring to time, place, or reason:
when → time
where → place
why → reason
Example with Relative Adverb:
This is the place where we met.
I remember the day when it happened.
That’s the reason why he left.
2. Rewriting with “that”:
You can often replace a relative adverb with “that” + additional structure, but it may require rephrasing the sentence slightly.
関係副詞を “that” + 追加構造に置き換えることができますが、文を少し書き換える必要がある場合もあります。
Examples:
Where → That
This is the place where we met.
→ This is the place that we met at.
(You may also omit “that”: This is the place we met at.)
When → That
I remember the day when it happened.
→ I remember the day that it happened.
Why → That
That’s the reason why he left.
→ That’s the reason that he left.
(You can also omit “that”: That’s the reason he left.)
3. Key Points:
“That” is more versatile than relative adverbs and can often replace them, but it may require adjustments to the sentence (e.g., adding a preposition like “at”).
In formal writing, relative adverbs (e.g., “where” or “when”) are often clearer and more specific than “that.”
In casual speech, “that” is commonly used because it’s simpler and more flexible.
Summary:
Yes, a relative adverb can often be rewritten using the relative pronoun “that”, but it may slightly alter the tone or structure of the sentence. The choice depends on the context, formality, and emphasis you want to convey.
that は、多用途で、関係副詞の代わりに使うことができます。ただし、文を調整する必要がある場合があります（例: “at” を追加）。
フォーマルな文章では、関係副詞（例: “where” や “when”）の方が明確で具体的です。
カジュアルな会話では、”that” がよく使われます。
まとめ:
関係副詞は関係代名詞 “that” によって書き換えられることがよくありますが、それによって文のトーンや構造が少し変わる可能性があります。選択は文脈やフォーマルさ、強調したいポイントに依存します。
