May 2, 2014 at 13:37 | comment | added | Wenzel Jakob | This was explained to me as follows by a native speaker: んだ is more informal with のだ being preferred in writing. While it's not a mistake to use のだ in spoken language, you will sound "bookish", i.e. very carefully choosing your words as if reading from a previously prepared text. | |

They should be syntactically the same, except that the nuances the contraction produces are slightly different. | |
May 2, 2012 at 5:10 | comment | added | Ian | Do you have a reliable source that states that んだ and のだ are always equal? I don't think that they are. For example I have never once heard のだ used in a sentence like this the following. 本当にしたいんですけど、できません. | |
