Hi everyone,

I have some questions I’ve come across while reading. I’ll start listing them here. Would be awesome if anyone is able to help.

  1. Page: 10
    Speaker: Yona’s dad
    Sentence: 変じゃないとも
    Question: Is とも here と思う?

2)Page: 10
Speaker: Yona’s dad
Sentence: ヨナの美しさはどんな宝石も適わんさ
Question: Is 適わんさ a shortening of 敵わない? I’ve read about さ being a colloquial ending.

3)Page: 11
Speaker: Yona
Sentence: もっと可愛げある人がいい。
Question: What is the function of げある here? I tried searching my dectionary and it said when turning i adjectives into na adjectives/ nouns that you can add げ but it was always listed as げがある is the が omitted here?

  1. Page:11
    Speaker: Hak
    Sentence: 可愛くしとかなくて
    Question: Is しとかなくて a shortening of しておく?

5)Page: 15
Speaker: Author’s commentary
Sentence: 描くのは----だった
Question: Can someone tell me the Kanji in this sentence? I am not sure what it is.

  1. Page: 19
    Speaker: Yona’s dad
    Sentence: 同い年だから気も合うんだろう。
    Question: Is 気も合う the same as 気が合う?

  2. Page: 20
    Speaker: Yona’s dad
    Sentence: あの2人にだって持たせたくないくらいなのに
    Questions: 待たせたくない Is causative plus to want, correct? So here it means I didn’t even want to let those two?

  3. Page: 24
    Speaker: Yona
    Sentence: 思いつきり不審な目で
    Question: Is 思いつきり here 思いつく? How is this being conjugated?

Edit: 8th question added
