| Comment | Your dictionary asked for a submission. The なの in the above seems escape the attention of an clear explanation in dictionary definitions. The attachment of か in this case is the element for question or doubt. The の probably simply the nominalizer. The deficiency is that なの follows nouns, verbs, etc., but little help is given to explain the subtle intention of use.
I am sorry to have got a "Grrrr.." from my first attempt to respond to your request for a submission. I was anxious not to express what I believed to be the correct meaning for what amounts to "the misunderstood ordinary aspects of a language which usually defies understanding for all except [apparently!] the teacher." However, I shall no doubt get myself into the correct mode of response to your very helpful site. I have only recently began to discover how really useful you site can be. |

| Editorial Comment | I agree a good entry for なのか would be a help. Sorry about the Grrr, but an English "meaning" of "？" is not a great entry submission. |
