"Tonde mo nai" is a polite expression often used by middle-aged
ladies. The best English equivalent would be something like "Of
course not".


I'm assuming the reparsing above was done for some reason. Do you
always break up your keiyoushi with random spaces like that?



Sometimes I break it up like that.

"Tonde" is the signal for an action underway.
"mo" signals "even that, more, also."
"nai" signals "it ain't so," "ain't it so"

aka...

"The thing won't fly." 

I guess you missed the part about two posts above yours where
necoandjeff said:


Whooooooosh.

What? I got whooshed here? I fail to see why. Is this another one of those cases where necoandjeff is following up to the wrong post, or did I actually get whooshed?
