closer to 'wari ni' than 'nimokakawarazu' (contributor: dc)
Meaning: contrary to one's (natural) expectation (contributor: halx)
I think the にしてはいけない examples sentences don't belong here.
(contributor: halx)
X にしてはいけない must mean, 'Even though you are doing X, that's
not okay.' (contributor: adamstudio)
I think there are two types of にしては mixed up in these examples.
(contributor: bamboo4)
I also agree that the にしてはいけない examples should be moved.

I don't understand '乱魔ﾉ' in [ex #3520]. Perhaps it means '乱麻の'?
I don't understand the English translation of [ex #3530] and [ex #3531].
Perhaps an alternative translation for にしては is despite (Ex: despite
being a foreigner, his Japanese is very good. ). (contributor: 赤毛)
I created the entry for the にしてはいけない examples sentences. I
moved Ex #3519, #3521, #3522, #3524, #3525, #3527 and #3528 to this new
entry. They became #6770, #6771, #6772, #6773, #6774, #6775 and #6776
respectively. I found the way to conserve Dbxさん as author in the new
entry. I changed Ex #3519, #3522, #3525 and #3527 to fit the entry. Is it
too much contribution? (contributor: 赤毛)
