Remind me to check up on 貰う etc. with all that in-group / out-group etc
stuff.  (contributor: Amatuka)

に marks the indirect object of the verb
receiver of the action
(contributor: Miki)

Some E translations don't have right words just for に and I put verb
instead. Please change English if you have better translation.
(contributor: Miki)

there is a mistake in the grammar in #4899
should be something like 'please let me know when you get there.'

'に marks the indirect object of the verb
receiver of the action'

this causes some confusion with ex #4902 since 'he' is the one receiving
the scolding? (contributor: skysongz)

I was a bit confused about this as well, though thinking of it as marking
an indirect object helps so much-- all of the books and things have
explained it in a way that connects it to its first meaning...
