「ならいざ知らず」の情報

ならいざ()らず is a grammar expression which combines the hypothetical form of the auxiliary verb だ, なら, the adverb いざ ‘now’, or ‘well then’, and the classically-negated form of the う-Verb ()る, ()らず ‘to not know’. It is often translated as ‘I don’t know about (A), but (B)’, or ‘maybe (A), but (B). This phrase is formal, and usually used to emphasize that, regardless of (A), (B) fits a specific description.
ならいざ()らず will follow verbs in their standard forms. Additionally, it may follow either な-Adjectives or nouns that have had their terminal だ replaced with なら.

    I don't know if you're going to a wedding or something, but since you're just going to your friend's house, you probably don't have to wear a suit.
  • 15(ふん)()ならいざ()らず、いくら友達(ともだち)でも30(ぷん)以上(いじょう)()つのは無理(むり)だ。
    It may be possible for me to wait for 15 minutes, but I won’t be able to wait more than 30 minutes, no matter how good of a friend they are.
  • 経験(けいけん)豊富(ほうふ)仕事(しごと)上手(じょうず)ならいざ()らず、まだ(はじ)めたばかりの()にこの仕事(しごと)(まか)せるのはかわいそうすぎますよ。
    I don’t know about people that have a lot of experience and are good at their jobs, but I feel bad giving such work to a person that just started.
  • 平日(へいじつ)ならいざ()らず連休(れんきゅう)(ちゅう)遊園地(ゆうえんち)などのようなところに()(ひと)(おお)いだろう。
    I don't know about weekdays, but I’m sure that there are a lot of people that go to places like amusement parks during holidays.
Just like the literal translation of ‘if it’s (A), well then I don’t know’, this structure emphasizes that (A) may or may not be the case, but (B) is definite. However, there is no direct use of ‘but’ in Japanese. This shows that the ‘but’ comes from the simple contrast of (A) being unknown while (B) is known.
ならいざ()らず may also be seen following other structures such as い-Adjectives when they have been nominalized with の.
  • (あたら)しいのならいざ()らず(まえ)のモデルはよく勝手(かって)電源(でんげん)()ちたからあまり()れなかったらしい。
    I don’t know about the new ones, but the older models didn’t sell well because they would turn off on their own.
This の pattern is also used with verbs, but it is less common than simply attaching ならいざしらず to one of the standard verb forms.
Fun Fact
In many cases, (A) is an extreme example used to show that (B) is the opposite of that, and is therefore either surprising or irritating.

    I don't know about the gods, but it is very hard for a person like me to forgive people that do things like that.
Caution
Occasionally は will be used instead of なら. However, the meaning of the overall phrase will remain the same.

    I don’t know about 60 years ago, but nowadays, there are less people that smoke.
