    A little help with んーです please I'm going out of my mind trying to find the answer for this. I want to use a Noun with んーです which requires the use of the plain form. e.g. 雨だ　－＞　雨なんです　<- following the rule to drop だ　add　な　＋　んです 雨だった　ー＞　？ How can I apply that rule to the second one (the plain past form)? Is it a different rule? Thanks in advance.

    I believe he's using an analogy of the victory of the video cassette recorder over television.

    Depends on context. Often it will mean 'Well done!'

    That makes no sense. What's some other dialogue before and after that line?

    Yes you can use 'can'. 'May' is slightly more polite or formal, but people mostly use 'can'.

    The speaker is saying something that implies something else which is left unsaid. A more simple example might be, 'She has a big appetite, if you know what I mean.', which might mean that the woman being talked about is fat.

    I don't think that's a real expression. Where did you see it?

    They mean the same but 'health' is much more common, and 'wellness' a bit old fashioned.
