Sentence structure
Key sentences split into meaning units, showing the role of each part.
"~te wa ikemasen" is a clear prohibition, "you must not ...." Listing the prohibited actions with "~tari, ~tari" in front gives "you must not do things like ... or ...." This is a key pattern often used in rules and notices.
"~you ni" takes a potential or stative expression before it to mark purpose, "so that one can ... / so as to ...": "yomeru you ni" = so that one can read. "yomeru" is the potential form of "yomu." Note also that the adjective "kimochi ii" becomes the adverb "kimochi yoku" to modify the verb "yomu."
