Awesome, thnks a lot for the answers, never heard of じゃない bfore but now i do.
I dont know どれ’s version either, thats why i didnt post it :P, I’m just in season 3 yet, started Japanese studies 2 weeks ago. If i find it on the way i’ll let u know
Yup, makes a lot of sense, I would love to see an other person agreeing with us to be 100% sure but thats the only explanation that makes sense that i can find now at least
Thanks for your reply but the thing is the other way around and thats why i dont understand it: が emphasizes what comes before and は what comes after. So first we mark the topic, ok, and second we have the particle in the exact same position where it says exactly the same but we do NOT want to emphasize the car but the fact that I hate it. The only explaniation I find is that は creates the topic as we both agree but later, が emphasizes what comes before it, but not “your car”, is emphasizing the word いいえ which could make some sense to me. So は limits the topic (わたしのくるま) and が marks the subject (いいえ) because if we actually eliminate the rest of the answer and have only the いいえ part, the answer is already understandable, no need for the rest.
Thats the answer i came up with but not sure if its correct tho it makes some sense.
Yep, これ、あれ、それ and どれ are standalone, the non standalone versions are この、あの and その like in この車
Yeh, Had a hard time with it as well and actually with that kanji in general because they teach you the combination with “one” and “two” first and they happen to be the damn exceptions….. so guess when I tried to use it for the first time with 七 as in 七人…. yeh, right, i pronounced it: ななり and had to google around to find out why i was wrong if ふたり and ひとり were right….
