Hey,
I have two questions regarding the ways of using the の particle, that Tae Kim has explained in his guide. Those are two examples that he has used in his guide:
Example 2
アリス:今、授業があるんじゃない?
Alice: Isn't it that there is class now?
ボブ:今は、ないんだ。
Bob: Now it is that there is no class.
Alice: Don't you have class now? (Expecting that there is class)
Bob: No, there is no class now. (Explanatory)
Example 3
アリス:今、授業がないんじゃない?
Alice: Isn't it that there isn't class now?
ボブ:ううん、ある。
Bob: No, there is.
Alice: Don't you not have class now? (Expecting that there is no class)
Bob: No, I do have class.
I was wondering what exactly the following two sentences would mean then:
1: 今、授業があるの?
2:今、授業がないの?
My guess is that those mean:
1: Is it that there is class now?
2: Is it that there is no class now?
But wouldn't those two questions have the same meaning as the two example questions?
In terms of what the answer would be and what you are asking?
My second question is:
Would it be correct to use だ after an i-adjective, if the explanatory の is also used? Like in those example sentences that I hope are correct:
これが大きいんじゃない?
うん、大きいんだ。
And if this is not correct, how would I answer as a male in explanatory tone? Since I have read that only putting の at the end without だ would sound female.
