Differences between Temo and Noni I'm going to write a paper explaining differences between -temo and noni. Could you help me explain it clearly, i am sorry i can't write down the sentences in Japanese because the computer i used is not capable to do it. I got these from other sources: Noni expressing a regret, contrary , unexpected following occurrence, and factual condition. Usually used in past occurrence. <>Mainichi Benkyou shita noni tensuu ga warukatta. Temo expressing contrary, and hypothetical condition. Usually used in future occurrence. <>Mainichi Benkyou shitemo nakanaka jouzu ni naranai.
