| | bamboo4 | ならでは is equal to でなくては.
| | | Miki | #5012 I think this would be better Japanese. こんなおいしい料理は、母親ならではのものです。
or こんなおいしい料理は母親でなくては作れない。
母親ならでは作られない。is somewhat not natural for me. | | | bamboo4 | I agree, Miki-san. | | | dc | changed. | | | dc | is this a little like 「のことだから」
弘子のことだから、遅れました。
its hiroko of course, so she was late. | | | bamboo4 | It is not like 弘子のことだから, which means "as it is usual for Hiroko." Accordingly, you would not say 弘子のことだから、遅れました, but you would say 弘子のことだから、遅れるでしょう. In other words, we use that expression for prediction rather than description of what actually took place. If you want to say "HIroko was late, as usual," you would say 例によって(いつもの通り）、弘子は遅れてきた.

You can also say : 弘子はいつも通りに遅れてきた | | | Sumofan | So would it be correct to say that in cases where ならでは isn't followed by の it will always be followed by a phrase containing a negative verb? | | | amrutadk16 | うるさいマスターならではの料理は、どれも新鮮で、うまいっ
It should be:
All dishes except for the annoying master (manager/bar owner) were fresh and tasty. | | |
