Heisig explains in his story that the Japanese see the "daybreak" not as a situation of breaking into a day, but rather as a "nightbreak", with "break" as in "breakfast", the breaking of a given state (night) into another (day). I'm not sure about the actual validity of this story, but that's what he means. — Kuri 8 hours ago

Why not just say it's the sun rising over the horizon?

@Schoko went toward the supermarket does not imply that the subject got the destination. The grammatical property is different. I guess スーパーマーケットの方へ駅まで行く is possible, while スーパーマーケットへ駅まで行く is not.

スーパーマーケットの方へ駅まで行く・・・？
スーパーの方へ行く would be "going toward the supermarket"
スーパーへ行く and スーパーに行く both mean "going to the supermarket"
「スーパーへ行きます。」と言われて、「スーパーの方向に別の用事で行くんだなあ」とは、
普通、思わないでしょう

@FriendlyGhost The English in your second example isn't quite right:

(the ∅ here means you can choose to include neither that nor who)

> 2. the girl [from whom a boy borrowed a pen]

One of the few places whom is still used in Modern English is when who(m) is the object of a fronted preposition in a relative clause.

I posted this message in chat because I felt like it would be off-topic as a comment, since it's not about Japanese.

@DariusJahandarie I think it might be good to have that question on the main site. Would you like to ask it? I can ask it if you don't
