Asking without spicy / i-adjective


When I order something in a restaurant, I'd like to ask without spicy.

  * I hear I have to use : `辛【から】いのぬきで` or `辛いのなしで`.

  * Why `辛くないで` is not correct?

Thank you !




This で is a method/means/condition marker, and it requires a _noun_ before it.
-抜き and -無し are suffixes that produce _nouns_ which also work as no-
adjectives. For details, see: [What does 「なし」in 「問題なし」
mean?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/17896/5010)

Grammatically, 辛くない is not a noun phrase. It either modifies a following noun
(eg 辛くない料理), or forms a predicate at the end of a sentence/clause (eg
この料理は辛い。).

The easiest fix is to add the pronoun の ("one") after 辛くない.

> 辛くないので。
