I know that "de aru" is a familiar form of "desu". However, " I > don't qiute understand what "no aru" means. I have seen this > construction used in phrases like "toge no aru kotoba" ("words with > thorns" = harsh language). The form "A no aru B" means "B that has A" or "B with A". Examples: -kuuraa no aru ie (a house that has an air conditioner; a house with air conditioning) -kakki no aru machi (a town/city with a lot of action) "De aru" is not a famirliar form of "desu". It's very formal, written form of "desu". See the post #3570. > Also, I'd like to know if "iru" takes the particle "no" in the same > manner as described above. Thanks in advance. Yes, the A in the above structure is a person/persons or animal(s), you say "A no iru B". Examples: -banken no iru ie (a house with a guard dog) -kodomo no iru katei (a home with children) The negative form is "A no nai/inai B": -ki no nai yama (a mountain with no trees) -kodomo no inai seikatsu (life without children) Kamui --------------------------------- YAHOO!
