I'm OK if the pace is slow enough.

>トトロってちゃんと言ったもん。

"ちゃんと:CHANTO;in the correct way"

"もん:MON" is children form of "もの:MONO" which is difficult to explain in English.

When "MONO" is used as "Verb+もの:MONO", "MONO" is just same as nothing in English. It just justifies the sentence.

Or, "~もの:~MONO" makes the sentence as excuse something referred before.


Language makes Culture and Culture makes Language.
