By saying this sentence, he meant that the woman should remain blind to those matters not only for this specific incident but also for future coming similar incidents. That's probably why he used "-teita hou ga ii." I hope this makes sense.:wink: Crtky-san

The old man says: souiu koto ha, me wo tsubutteita hou ga ii to omoimasu yo. Why does he says "tsubutteita hou ga ii" instead of "tsubutta hou ga ii" ... ? Thank you very much. Hi I have a question regarding verb tense usage…

The old man says: souiu koto ha, me wo tsubutteita hou ga ii to omoimasu yo.

Why does he says “tsubutteita hou ga ii” instead of “tsubutta hou ga ii” … ?

Thank you very much.
