nodesu のです

SOURCE - Maggie Sensei


In order to understand how to use ん ( = ), you have to know  the form of  ** のです ( = ** no desu. ) or  **のだ  ( = **noda)  because * *んです  ( = **n desu) and **んだ ( = **n da) are spoken language of  **のです ( = ** no desu.) or  **のだ ( =**noda.).

What is the  difference between 1) and 2)?
1) 寒いです。= samui desu.
2) 寒いのです。= samui no desu


Basic form
adjective (na-adjective and i-adjective) and verb (dictionary form) + のです = nodesu → です = n desu
or のだ = noda→だ nda
• 暑いです。
= Atsui desu.

↓ (giving  a reason.)

=Because it’s hot.
↓ (conversational)
• 暑いです。
= Atsuin desu.
Because it’s hot.
(more casual)
