Japanese question 見透かす の 意味???

Question:


also.. is this the dictionary tense? I tried inputting 見透かす in denshi jisho, but nothing came out...

also... how do you say "each other?" Like... for instance, 殺し合う means "to kill each other." (trying to study japanese via manga... so yeah, i see these phrases a lot.)

however, how do you say "to help each other?"

Thanks as always.

Answer:


"見透かす" usually means "seeing through something", but it often means seeing through what a person's thinking.

To say "to kill each other" in Japanese you say "お互い (=each other, pronounced 'otagai') を殺し合う".

The phrase "to help each other" would be "お互い (=each other) を助け (=help) 合う (=each other)", but you could skip either of the "each other" part, eg "お互いを助ける" or "助け合う".

Hope this helps =)
