[JLPT grammar] How to make the contraction style of てしまう
Today I am going to share the homework correction quoted from my JLPT N3 course!
The student’s sentence is not correct. Can you find the mistake?
[Student’s sentence]
今日はつかれたから、早く寝っちゃいたい。
*きょうはつかれたから、はやくねっちゃいたい。

[My correction]
今日はつかれたから、早く寝っちゃいたい。
→今日はつかれたから、早く寝ちゃいたい。
I’m tired today, so I’ll go to bed early.

「寝ちゃいたい」は「寝てしまいたい(want to fall asleep)」の縮約形(しゅくやくけい contraction)です。
寝てしまいたい→寝るte-form＋〜てしまう＋〜たい
まず、「寝る」のte-formは「寝て」です。「寝って」
「〜てしまう」の縮約形の作(つく)り方(かた)
te-formてしまう→〜ちゃう
寝てしまう→寝ちゃう
「〜たい」をつけると、te-formてしまう＋たい＝te-
縮約形は、〜ちゃう＋たい＝〜ちゃいたい
寝てしまいたい→寝ちゃいたい
EN;
寝ちゃいたい is the contraction style of 寝てしまいたい(want to fall asleep).
寝てしまいたい→寝るte-form＋〜てしまう(to do something by accident)＋〜たい(want)
First, the te-form of 寝る is 寝て, not 寝って.
How to make a contraction style of 〜てしまう;
te-formてしまう→〜ちゃう
寝てしまう→寝ちゃう
When たい is added, te-formてしまう＋たい＝te-formてしまいたい
The contraction style is〜ちゃう＋たい＝〜ちゃいたい
寝てしまいたい→寝ちゃいたい
I hope my explanation helps you. 😊
