教えてくれた, 買ってくれた – oshietekureta, kattekureta
(1) by 高尾滋 (Takao Shigeru).
This is my favourite manga about Taishou period. I'm reading it currently, trying to translate every phrase instead of skipping through and it definitely proves very useful as suddenly I see all the grammar points I've just learned.
でもこれはオレにバイオリンを教えてくれたじーさんが買ってくれた
教えてくれた --おしえてくれた--
買ってくれた -- かってくれた--
The problem with translation is that I always want to make it passive voice, though it's not passive in Japanese, but overall meaning is "But my grandpa had brought me this violin and taught me how to play it".
vol.1 ch.1 p.7
