Japanese Language 「Adjectives and Adverbs」 「Adj pred+noniのに」 ”Although" The particle noni when used as a conjunction, indicates a state that is followed by a result contrary to expectation. If the predicate of the main clause (the clause following noni) is past tense, the tense of the noni clause (the subordinate clause) may be either present or past tense. Examples: かれは頭が痛いのに薬を飲まない。 Kare wa atama ga itai noni kusuri o nomanai. Although he has a headache, he doesn't take medicine. 魚は新しかったのにおいしくなかった。 Sakana wa atarashikatta noni oishiku nakatta.

Since nara is the conditional form of the copula da, it requires a noun. Therefore, no is added to nominalize the verb, though this no is optional. Examples: 家を売る（の）なら、今がいい時期だ。 Ie o uru (no) nara, ima ga ii jiki da. If you are to sell the house, now is a good time. 今晩外で食べる（の）なら、どこがいいですか。 Konban soto de taberu (no) nara, doko ga ii desu ka.

Likewise, they can combine with the particle mo to mean "nothing" or "no one" in negative sentences. Nani ka (or nani mo) and dare ka (or dare mo) are usually sentence subjects, although they are not attended by the particle ga. Note that the words may modify the modified nouns that follow them, in which case their English translations can be known to vary. 「A」Q: 何かありますか。 Nani ka arimasu ka. Is there anything there？ A: いいえ、何もありません。 Iie, nani mo arimasen. No, there is nothing. 「B」Q: だれかいますか。 Dare ka imasu ka. Is anybody there? A: いいえ、だれもいません。 Iie, dare mo imasen. No, there is nobody.
