質問: 結ぶ と 繋ぐ と 繋がる はどう違いますか? 結ぶ と 繋ぐ と 繋がる はどう違いますか?
回答: i think we can use both 〜を結ぶ and 〜を繋ぐ in many situations. ●結ぶ to make a "knot" to connect by making a knot 例) ・ネクタイを結ぶ ・リボンを結ぶ ・ドイツと日本を結ぶ ・縁を結ぶ to make a connection between people. it's often used in marriage and business related connections. ●繋ぐ、繋がる 〜を繋ぐ transitive 繋がる intransitive to connect/link 例) ・手を繋ぐ ・ドイツと日本を繋ぐ ・インターネットを繋ぐ ・縁を繋ぐ *i think "縁を結ぶ" is more popular though 例) ×手が繋がる *we don't usually say that. aがbを繋ぐ and bが繋がる are often interchangeable, i guess. but sometimes aがbを繋ぐ and bが繋がる give us different impression. ・インターネットが繋がる ・ドイツと日本が繋がる *probably it depends on situation if it sounds natural or not ・縁が繋がる *i think "縁を結ぶ" is more popular though
