Last time, we have learned how to use the conjunctive particle “-noni,” when it is used with subordinate clause whose predicate is a verb in Ta-form or Dictionary form. “-noni,” is used for contrast connections between a subordinate clause and a main clause. And “-noni,” is not just a functional word as a conjunctive particle, by using it, the sentence will have a modality to express that unexpected thing, complaint, and/or disappointment.
In this post, we are going to learn also how to use the conjunctive particle “-noni,”. But this time, the predicates of a subordinate clause is an I-adjective, a Na-adjective, or a Noun. The followings show how to connect these predicates to “-noni,”
(1) — [Stem of I-adj]+ i + noni, [Main Clause].
(2) — [Stem of Na-adj] + na + noni, [Main Clause].
(3) — [Noun] + na + noni, [Main Clause].
Let’s take a look at example sentences of (1) to (3).
1. Kono Supo’otsu Kurabu wa Kaihi ga Takai noni, Eigyou-Jikan ga Mijikai desu.
(Even though this sport club charges high, opening hours are short.)
“Takai” is an I-adjective, therefore it connects to “-noni,” like “Takai noni,”. This sentence, of course, mentions a complaint about short opening hours despite of high fee.
