In Miyuki Nakajima's song "ファイト！" there is this line:

冷たい水の中をふるえながらのぼってゆけ

I don't understand the use of the particle を in this context. Shouldn't it be に or even で?

  • I don't understand the closevote. I also don't understand @dainichi's link. It's obvious what 道を行く is meant to mean, but it's not at all obvious to me what 水の中を上って行け is meant to mean. I think this is a good question. – Billy Jul 22 '13 at 03:26
  • However, to be useful to DaleyPaley: I'm sure what dainichi was hinting at was that this particle is a particle demanded by 行く, rather than a particle that means "in the water". Actually, my best attempt at a translation (bearing in mind that I might have misunderstood this) would be "rise through the water", not "in". If anything means "in" at all, it is probably 中. – Billy Jul 22 '13 at 03:28

    @Billy, the question isn't asking about the meaning, it's asking why it's を and not に or で. The accepted answer of the question I linked to answers exactly that. – dainichi Jul 22 '13 at 04:04

    Yes, I am perfectly happy with the close vote, I got my answer from the link. Thanks very much! – DaleyPaley Jul 22 '13 at 04:42

    @Billy: Actually the を is required by のぼる in this case, not the ゆく（ゆけ）. – istrasci Jul 22 '13 at 14:35
