If 連用形 can replace て-form in this sentence?


I wonder if the て in 僕を飼いならしてたいみたいだ can be removed? Because I think ならし is the
連用形 of ならす, so it can also used to link two verbs.




It can be removed but doing so would change the meaning of the sentence.

飼いならしてたい is a contracted form of 飼いならして **い** たい. Whoever is the subject wants
to be in a **state** where, depending on context, they either continue the act
of taming "me" or keep "me" tamed.

飼いならしたい would mean they want to tame "me". It's a one-time action or change,
rather than a state.
