なくもない
naku mo nai
it's not that it isn't; not impossible
[It's not that it isn't / Not impossible]
Connection: Verb (ない-stem) + なくもない / い-Adj (stem) + くなくもない
Usage: A double-negative expression that softens an assertion. Rather than directly saying "yes," it hedges with "it's not that it isn't the case." Expresses partial agreement or reluctant acknowledgment.
Examples:
彼の言い分もわからなくもない。(It's not that I don't understand his point.)
行きたくなくもないが、時間がない。(It's not that I don't want to go, but I don't have time.)
その提案に賛成できなくもない。(It's not impossible for me to agree with that proposal.)
