Having some trouble with this:
> ボルネオ島なんかにいやしないのです。
Context: A man thought his son was in borneo (ボルネオ) but he was faked out, his son wasn’t there.
Full context: https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/001779/files/57228_58735.html
いやしない is the part I don’t get. I think this is saying something like, “He wasn’t in (f’n) borneo.” But I’m not super sure how it says that.
Hello, I want to get the Genki 1 workbook so I can better process Japanese. I was wondering if I can get the 3rd edition workbook if I have the 2nd edition textbook. The reason I want the 3rd edition workbook is because it’s way cheaper and affordable for me.
