This sentence means more of less something like the English: "I'd be glad/happy if you
could use Japanese on your computer". In here, we have a connection of a structure
'V-potential form you ni naru', which basically means that you're becoming able to do
V, with the 'to' particle, which means 'if'. Conditional forms are the ones, which are
probably most complicated in Japanese, as they have several kinds of 'if', depending
whether the situation is objective, subjective, or whether the sentences are connected
more in a time way or logical way. Therefore, i'd be glad if someone who know the
matter a bit etter than I do, could explain it to everyboy - I mean the difference
between '-tara', '-eba', '-nara' and '-to' forms.

Subject: [Japanese_Language] "Naru to" and other constructions with "naru"
Sorry if I have not posted here in a very long time.
Now, I have been studying a book by Shoji Kakuko titled "Japanese
Core Words and Phrases". This publication has helped me understand
some of the multiple-particle constructions that, even though I have
not encountered them yet in my formal studies, I will most certainly
be encountering in daily communication.
I would like to know just what function "naru to" serves in
Japanese. A friend of mine wrote me a part of a letter in Japanese.
One of his sentences goes, "Kimi no konpy�t� de nihongo ga tsukaeru
you ni naru to ureshii desu." In this case, what function does "naru
to" serve?
- Arian I.
