もの：original meaning: "unmovable presence ('IT' is here!)" it turned to: - thing: 物 - person(impolite)：者 - monster: 物の怪、化け物(*) - way of the world: 「子供は勉強するものだ」 - fate: 「人の命は限りあるもの」　　　「だって私、女優になるんだもの」 - thing fixed: 「だって私、天才だもの」 - emotional decision fixed: 「私、やる。だってそう決めたんだもの！」　　　　　≓「私、やるもん！」　（もん＝　もの） - fixed status: 「ずいぶん舐められたものですな」 we are in the status of "ずいぶん舐められた", aren't we? （They think they can 'ずいぶん舐める' us, don't they? Huh?) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 寂しい：sad, lonely 物寂しい：sad, lonely ('something ' makes me feel sad. I don't know what is the thing though) -------------------------------------------------------------------- ※ こと：temporary presence. * Some scholar says "物" of ”もののけ" is another origin.
