=== ではありません (de wa Arimasen) === | |||
This phrase is composed of particle + particle + verb + negation. It can be translated as "is not". | |||
There is a special bastardization (じゃない) of this phrase which should be transcribed in the following way: | |||
じゃ = de wa = ja | |||
The particles de wa have been merged into ja | |||
ない = Arimasen = Nai | |||
The verb and negation has been turned into Nai | |||
