232 nashi de wa / -neba naranai
The only difference between the two versions is that - nashi de wa ver-
sion sounds slightly more formal probably due to the archaic form
nashi.
However, - ga (i)-nakereba cannot be rephrased by - nashi de wa when
the sentence is a question, request, command, suggestion, or volitional
sentence. Examples follow.
