Romanization Questions
I'd like to know what is our rule for romanizing and spacing Japanese verbs comprised of 'main verb(て-form) + auxiliary verb' like
Oshiete + Kudasai / Shite + Iru / Yonde + Miru /... of course when there is no official romaji writing. *て-form (音便形) The last letter of verbs end with te(て) or de(で) like 教える(Oshieru) > 教えて (Oshiete) 進む(Susumu) > 進んで (Susunde) Oshietekudasai / Shiteiru / Yondemiru? or Oshiete Kudasai / Shite Iru / Yonde Miru?

Noun / Stem of Adjectival noun (形容動詞 語幹) + なのだ。/なのです。
1) If they are split by morpheme >> na no da. / na no desu. 2) なの can be changed to なん, so なんだ。/なんです。 often used as colloquial style. >> nan da. / nan desu. These are what I grammatically understand, but how should we actually romanize なのだ(です) and なんだ(です)? ========== edit: It seems the hiragana form of 何だ/何です(なんだ/なんです) could cause confusion in some cases. need to look at context for the cases.

na no da / na no desu
nanda / nandesu (n' acts like a "contractive", a bit like irunda would be) |

Thanks, then
1) The combination of an adjectival noun(形容動詞) and ので/のに(Connective Postposition;接続助詞) has these forms. Stem of Adjectival noun(形容動詞 語幹) +な+ので(meaning of 'because/because of') Stem of Adjectival noun +な+のに(meaning of 'although/in spite of') 2) A noun(or a noun phase) and ので/のに also combine like Noun + な+ので Noun + な+のに Of course, these -な and the below -な in なのだ(なのです) are grammatically the same thing. So, shouldn't we romanize them as 'na noni' and 'na node'? Last edited by whatkind; Feb 9, 2018 at 05:48 AM. |
