@ash:
hey i have a question.
previously i had learned ~んです and was kind of told it was meant to be like a way of explaining.
And Sensei told the class this morning that it was that but also kind of way of continuing the conversation/comparing two things by showing what they do differently.
Like...サムさんは7時に起きるんです。猫は8時に起きるんです。
The japanese students have told me that some girls use it to be cute like if you are talking to a boy you like.
Kind of like when you say たべたいの?~
Obviously its casual speak but I am curious as to how you would explain んです。
Sensei also said that even though it explains its like.. Well say that you come late to class and the teacher asks you why and you say バスを来ませんでした。
The teacher may say back to you "so what?"
So saying バスを来なかったんです Kind of gives more of the impression that that's why.
Though she did say you could say バスを来ませんでしたから。
But she said んです Is used more often in conversation.
