Various questions
 

Hi all, I have been studying Japanese for some time now (over 10 years) but I occasionally still run into questions that I need answered, or things that I can phrase much better.

1. If 出会わなければ means "if I hadn't met" then by extension 見なければ、should be "If I didn't see" and しなければ "if I didn't do?" right? (I'm just adding the I to make the sentence clearer, I know Japanese has no subject most of the time.)

2. じゃ、それではかれに休むをとるほうがいいだと思いま す。 (Well, in that case I think he had better get some rest) Is there a better way to phrase this?

３．What is a good way to express "frames of references?" I used 基準点 or maybe 理解の共通点 but those feel a bit clumsy to be TBH.

1. Right. But I wonder why you used "had" only in the first example.

2. じゃぁ、それでは彼に休みをとらさせるのがいいと思い ます。
, じゃぁ、それでは彼に休みをとってもらうのがいと思い ます。
or じゃぁ、それでは彼に休んでもらうのがいいと思います 。

3. Could you provide some examples?
