Can somebody help me understand the grammar of this sentence?
>古手梨花という名の、鷹野を楽しませるためだけの物扱いなのだ。
The part that I don’t get is the gramatical role of 物扱い, which I understand to mean “the act of treating somebody like an object” not the object itself.
So if I were to over-literally translate this, I’d get something like “A treating like an object named Furude Rika (who exists for the amusement of Takano)” but that doesn’t feel gramatical? Wouldn’t it be something like 古手梨花という名の、鷹野を楽しませるためだけの物なのだ。? Am I misunderstanding the meaning of 物扱い or the structure of the sentence?
新しい vs 新たな
Both are adjectives, so what’s the difference and when should i use one over the other?
edit: I’ve seen 新たなチカラ and 新しい家
