Questions & Answers about saihaitatsu no jikan o kaetai toki wa, tsuisekibangou ga hitsuyou desu.
Why is there の after 再配達?
Here, の connects two nouns.
- 再配達 = redelivery
- 時間 = time
So 再配達の時間 means the redelivery time or the time for redelivery.
This is a very common use of の in Japanese: noun + の + noun.
Why is 時間 marked with を?
Because 変える means to change, and it takes a direct object.
In this sentence, the thing being changed is 時間, so:
- 時間を変える = to change the time
- 時間を変えたい = to want to change the time
Even though English might naturally say something like change the delivery time or reschedule it, Japanese marks 時間 as the object of 変える.
How does 変えたい work grammatically?
変えたい comes from the verb 変える.
- dictionary form: 変える = to change
- stem: 変え
- たい added to the stem: 変えたい = want to change
The たい form expresses desire. It is often translated as want to ...
So:
- 変える = change
- 変えたい = want to change
In this sentence, it describes the situation when someone wants to change the time.
