1) きみの せい なんだ。(KIMI NO SEI NANDA) = It is your fault! 2) あなたは おかねもち なんだ。(ANATA WA OKANEMOCHI NANDA) = You are rich! だ (DA) is the informal version of です (DESU), so your example sentences sound both casual. If you want to say it politely, you can change だ into です. The んです (んだ) form is also used for emphasis. You need to add a な before んです(んだ) since you are using nouns (せい and おかねもち) in the above sentences. To learn more about the form, please take a look at the link below. What is the difference between IUNDA (said) and ITTA (said)? I hope this helps, Kanako @ YesJapan Teacher | ||
