Did I use として correctly?


父は私にお土産としてチョコレートをくれた。

"My dad gave me chocolate as a gift."

Can I use として in this context?




Correct.

But if the chocolate is totally appropriate as souvenir, just saying
お土産にチョコレートをくれた is enough. として can carry a nuance of "as a substitute" or "as a
thing that it's not intended for."
