POS[edit]

Isn't this an adjective? Korn [kʰũːɘ̃n] (talk) 20:35, 3 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Tell me if you want to revive this. If you still want an answer, I have one. ThighFish (talk) 21:56, 15 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

でない[edit]

The entry in the Koujien for でない appears to treat ではない as an alternative form of でない. である←→でない? —Suzukaze-c 22:54, 21 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes. でない is the negative of である, as ない is of ある. ではない compounds で into では by adding the topic particle は, making it double as a topic.
