| Jan 28 at 13:18 | comment | added | Simon Pauget | You are partially correct, and the post you linked did enlighten me on this topic. I thank you for this. However, my question isn't answered only by the necessity of the て-form to be complete since I also failed to understand the meaning of わけ in the sentence, which was the most important part of my question (I tried renaming the title of the post to Meaning of the expression わけ but apparently one cannot do this). | |
| Jan 28 at 12:56 | comment | added | Karl Knechtel | My point is that, since るわけ isn't an expression, and since the interesting part of the question is therefore about the meaning of ねてる = ねている, all you really need to understand is the te-iru form. And if you saw ねて followed by る and concluded that the る was conceptually "attached to" the next bit instead of the ねて, that implies a thought process wherein the て form "means something on its own". But this form is incomplete and inherently connective; even when spoken by itself, there's something implied (perhaps ください). The question I linked was the best I could find to explain that. | |
| Jan 28 at 12:52 | comment | added | Simon Pauget | No, this is not what I was asking. What I struggled with was the meaning of the expression るわけ which A. Ellet deconstructed and explained clearly. | |
