what does this のって mean?


For context, Person A admires the new bag of person B. Person B bought it on
the internet. here is Persons A's response:

> えっ、インターネットで買い物する **のって** 危なくないですか。

I don't know what this のって is supposed to mean. There is no kanji in the text
and simply assuming a typo of 乗る doesn't really help either. Since 乗る, if I
observed correctly, doesn't only express "to get on train" but of course also
"to go by train/to use the train", it could somehow fit into the context of
this sentence. But between the two phrases 買い物する and 危なくない I can't muster a
grammatical interpretation of this sentence. I don't know how to connect these
pieces and I also don't know how to classify のって at all (adverb or adverbial
function, verb etc.).

However, here is my attempt at translation: "What, isn't it dangerous to do
your shopping on the internet?" I feel like I just left out のって in this
interpretation entirely, because I did, basically xD I just don't know wether
an interpretation taking のって in would look any different...^^




> 「えっ、インターネットで買{か}い物{もの}する **のって** 危{あぶ}なくないですか。」

「のって」 here is two words -- both particles.

「の」 is a nominalizer; It turns verbs and adjectives into nouns. 「買い物する = to
shop」 is a verb and by adding 「の」, it can be treated as a noun -- "shopping",
"the act of shopping", etc.

「って」 is an informal particle used to **bring up a topic and use it as the
grammatical subject of the sentence**. It functions just like 「は」 and 「というのは」.

(Please forget 「乗{の}って」; That will not work. 「買い物する乗って」 is just plain
gibberish.)

Trust me, native speakers could not talk informally for 5 minutes without
using this 「の」 or 「って」 at least once (and that is exactly why so many
questions are asked here about them).

> "What! Shopping on the Internet, isn't that dangerous?"
