As the Lesson Notes shows, a plain form of verbs comes before の. This is not only non-past plain but also past plain form. ex) non-past plain: ここにあるのは３つです。 "The ones which are here is 3." past plain: きのう買ったのはにくです。 "The one I bought yesterday was meat." I hope this helps. wael-san,
good question.

This is not only non-past plain but also past plain form.
ex) non-past plain: ここにあるのは３つです。
“The ones which are here is 3.”
past plain: きのう買ったのはにくです。
“The one I bought yesterday was meat.”

I hope this helps.

Growing up in Hawaii we always said, jan ken po, I canna show (as in, I can not show), wai lupe wai lupe, bang bang joe! I'm guessing the "I can not show" is from the あいこでしょ but about the rest I have no idea! This is great.

I live in Sendai, and one day when I was visiting my neighborhood gorcery store, I discovered a group of adults throwing Rock-Paper-Scissors in the back of the store. They were auctioning off pieces of fish. 6-8 adults were crowding the counter, pumping their fists in the air, to the familiar chant of SAI SHOU GU, JAN KEN PON. It was hilarious. This game is the great equalizer between children, but to see these adults playing reminded me that there's an inner child in all of us. Actually, funny thing.

If you wanna go a step further, it's probably also because 布 (like "pon" in Japanese) has that plosive sound that makes for a better ending. haha yeah probably because of the 2-2-1 syllabic pattern.
