How to Use SubQuery in In Clause?

How do I use relative clause in Japanese?

• Answer:

  I don't think that you example is in fact a relative clause. On the holiday which is called "Children's Day, " the children eat kashiwamochi. kodomo no hi to iu no yasumi de kodomotachi ga kashiwamochi wo tabemasu. A better example I think to explain a noun clause -- i.e,, a noun being modified by a clause is the child who ate the mochi is my son. mochi wo tabeta kodomo wa musuko desu. another example: When I went to Japan I didn't eat mochi. Nihon e itta toki ni wa mochi wo tabemasen deshita. another: when I ask my friend a question she doesn't answer me. ともだちにしつもんをきくときにこたえられません。 The verb modifying the noun in this way has a special name in Japanese. In fact, the verb in Japanese has a tense especially for this kind of situation when the verb conjtinues with a noun-like word. It can be a noun or a pronoun, an adverb and / or some number words. This form of the verb can be either the present or past... I think also you may have the future tense. But let me give you some examples. tabeta mochi kara byouki ni narimashita 食べたもちから病気になりました。 gohan wo taberu koto wa kenkou no tame ni ii n da sou desu ne ごはんをたべることは健康のためにいいんだそうですね　　In this case koto make taberu a verb into a noun clause taberu koto = the thing that you eat. The words for this kind of grammar come from the verb continuing (ren 連）　with a noun-like word. A word like this in Japanese is without flexion or conjugation like verbs (and adjectives) and is called a tai gen TAI = 体　(体言）　So the verb that continues with a noun like word is called a RENTAI. It is like a noun clause in Japanese.
