| Jun 16, 2023 at 6:06 | comment | added | Leebo | @UriGreenberg The article mentions 歌い, one time, as far as I can tell, just as an example how it doesn't work as a standalone noun. It never says you can't say 歌いもしない. The fact that 歌い alone doesn't work as a standalone noun is unrelated to the fact that 歌いもしない is fine. | |
| Jun 16, 2023 at 5:15 | comment | added | Uri Greenberg | The article explicitly states that you can't say '笑うこと ( or 笑うの）が止まらない' . It also explicitly says that you can't form nouns out of every verb by taking its い-stem (ます-stem) and gives 歌う and 書く as examples of such verbs and consequently can't use it in the formula '[V ます-steam] + もしない]' so that '歌いもしない' is the incorrect way of saying "Can't even sing". I understand the rest of your answer but the first paragraph contradicts the resource I gave - if the resource is wrong that's okay but please explain why. | |
