Etymology 1

[edit]
Kanji in this term
おな
Grade: 2
kun'yomi

⟨onazi⟩/onaʑi/

From Old Japanese.

An irregular adjective even in Classical Japanese (where the attributive form was usually 同じ), it has become more irregular in the modern language, mixing attributes of -i adjectives and -na adjectives (and sometimes neither).

(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “explain shift from -shiku to -nari to no conjugation needed.”)

Pronunciation

[edit]

Adjective

    その(ほん)(おな)著者(ちょしゃ)による。
    Sono hon wa onaji chosha ni yoru.

  2. common, similar
Usage notes
[edit]
  • In modern Japanese, the adjective normally follows -na inflection (形容動詞), but modifies a noun directly without the suffix (-na).
    (おな)(そら)(した)onaji sora no shitaunder the same sky
  • When attaching ので or のに, is still needed as in 同じなので or 同じなのに.
