๐ŸŽ“ Explanation

The expression ใ€Œใ€œใ‚ใ‘ใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ใ€ is used when the speaker wants to strongly deny a possibility based on logic or strong personal belief.

It is more emphatic than simply saying nai (is not). It implies 'it is impossible' or 'it makes no sense for it to be so'.

For Nouns, use Noun + ใฎ before wake. For Na-adjectives, use Adj + ใช.

Dekiru wake ga arimasen
= 'There is no way I can do it.'

Kantan na wake ga arimasen
= 'There is no way it is easy.'
