Page 75
Okay, I’m taking a break from volume 9 to work my way through these volume 2 videos and I’m finding them very useful. But one question has come up which I really can’t figure out.
On page 75 Yotsuba is trying to choose a cake and asks Miura: かーちゃんのは どれ?, “which one is mum having?”
But what is that の? The video (if I understand correctly) says the の is nominalising かーちゃん so that you can use it as a noun. But surely かーちゃん is already a noun?
I wondered if perhaps the の stood in for a noun, like “one”, “which one is mum having”, but I have no idea.
Any help much appreciated!
Likewise, in the next panel: このイチゴの のってるの, the video says the の here stands in for が. Could someone say why it does that? Thank you so much!
