本年もまたお願いいたしたく、ご連絡申し上げました。
場所は昨年と同じく、たから市民会館ホールです。
What is the use of く here?
I think it is something like conjugating the verb to ます form then removing ます to connect sentences.
For example:
交通ルールを守り、安全運転をしましょう.
Let's follow the rule and drive safely.
But, in the sentences I mentioned above, it's an い-adjective and a な-adjective (お願いいたしたい and 同じ). So, I would like to inquire about how this structure is formed.
Is it:
Verb = conjugate verb to ます form then remove ます
い-adjective = conjugate to くて and remove て
な-adjective/Noun = add く after
PS. I got some great answers here Removal of て in Japanese novels but I'm not sure about this 同じく.
