こんにちは、皆さん。
I watch a lot of anime, and I pay close attention to what I hear. I've noticed I've been hearing something in particular many times, and I'm not quite sure what it's for in a sentence. I think it's a nominalizer, and I assume it may be a colloquial form of の. It's an adjective followed by ん, e.g., いいんだ, or ほしいんだ. Normally those are adjectives that do not take だ, so I'm assuming they are being used as nouns.
First, is this a colloquial form of のas a nominalizer? Second, why is it used? What's the difference between いい and いいんだ?
I've heard it used with verbs as well, but I've not been able to find anything on nominalizers except の and こと.
ありがとうございます。
