Home Japanese Nominalizing の or inquiring ん?JJapaneseNominalizing の or inquiring ん?May 29, 20225 comments In the sentence どうして先生は私にこれほど辛く当たるのだろう is the の there to nominalize 当たる (make it into a noun) or is it a version of the softening/inquiring ん (like sentences that end in のですが)? Would the sentence be the same with 当たるんだろう? Tags:Japanese 5 commentsThe sentence with の is the formal way to say it. The other one with ん makes it more casual. That seems to be the only difference to me.It’s just softening and doesn’t change anything grammatically.i’m not sure anyone outright answered your main question-it’s inquiring, and not nominalizingBoth are the same but ん sounds more informalYes.Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
