- Abstract
This paper tries to formulate ideas on requirement of a word that possibly can change its function into quasi-final particle. This research is a descriptive qualitative study with the following steps described. First, the researcher tries to proceed, rewrite, and observe the previous research’s findings on each transformation phrase characteristic form, namely nanchatte and various-nanteitteshimatte. Then the researcher finds those characteristics from historical view on how a word transforming happened. Furthermore, the researcher interconnects them to get what is the main characteristic similarity of a quasi-final particle. Finally, formulating ideas of the needed requirement for a word or phrase to change function into quasi-final particle. Afterwords, the researcher found out that the following characteristics of those two words or phrases in the sentence structure [Y quasi-final particle] are common. The results of this study are concluded as: first, Y in front of quasi-final particle is treated as a quote; second, the speaker of Y can be “speaker himself”; third, Y could be “an immediate utterance”; fourth, those words or phrases appear at the end of the sentence and can show the aim of entire sentence; fifth, they take decades to transform from its original form and function.
