I was listening to a playlist of songs today and I heard the line

What exactly is 〜んだ and when/how is it used?




「んだ」 is a colloquial pronunciation of 「のだ」.

In this context, 「んだ」, together with the preceding verb, expresses a firm
request or even a demand or imperative.

**"Open up your eyes and get rid of your weakness!"**

We do not use 「んだ」 this way on a daily basis; At least many of do not. It is
most often used by the teacher or leader types who need to give advice and
cheer people on.
