I'm confused, is ChatGPT right or wrong or I'm dumb?
This sentence:
"思いの剣を凛と突き立てよう"

>Me: "why is を used here? doesn't the sentence means stab through the sword instead?"
>ChatGPT: ......It's correct
>Me: "I don't get it. For example: 犬を指す means point at the dog. It doesn't means use the dog to point. So what make it different?"
>ChatGPT: In the sentence “犬を指す” (Inu wo sasu), “犬” (Inu, or “dog”) is the direct object and “指す” (sasu, or “point”) is the action. The action of pointing can only be directed towards something, not performed with it. So, “犬を指す” can only mean “point at the dog”, not “use the dog to point”.
>On the other hand, in the sentence “思いの剣を凛と突き立てよう” (Omoi no ken wo rin to tsukitateyou), “思いの剣” (Omoi no ken, or “sword of our thoughts”) is the direct object and “突き立てよう” (tsukitateyou, or “let’s thrust”) is the action. Here, the action of thrusting can be performed with something, like a sword. So, “思いの剣を凛と突き立てよう” means “Let’s thrust the sword of our thoughts with dignity”, not “thrust at the sword of our thoughts”.
>In both cases, the particle “を” is marking the direct object of the verb. However, whether that object is being acted upon or used to perform an action depends on the specific verb and context."
