Structure

[verb (plain)] + に相違ない [i-adj] + に相違ない [na-adj] + (である) + に相違ない [noun] + (である) + に相違ない

Description

に相違ない means "there is no doubt that", "must be". It goes after the plain form of a verb or an い-adjective, and straight after a noun or a な-adjective, often with である in between. It is the written, formal version of にちがいない違いない and means the same.

、。

。

相違ありません on forms
