Detailed Grammar notes:
Processing keyword: ~なくはない (〜naku wa nai)
The grammar point ~なくはない is used to express a negative idea while also implying that the opposite (positive) idea is not completely negated. It translates to "it's not that I don't..." or "there's no way that...".
[Verb (in negative form) - ない] + [はない]
For example, the verb "行く" (iku - to go) changes to its negative form "行かない" (ikanai), resulting in "行かなくはない".
Verb (Dictionary Form) | Negative Form | Using ~なくはない |
---|---|---|
行く (iku) | 行かない (ikanai) | 行かなくはない (It's not that I don’t go) |
できる (dekiru) | できない (dekinai) | できなくはない (It's not that I can't do it) |
食べる (taberu) | 食べない (tabenai) | 食べなくはない (It's not that I don't eat) |
Using this structure can indicate a level of humility or indirectness common in Japanese communication, which avoids outright denial or confrontation. It reflects a polite way of expressing one's opinions or abilities.
