Does the 「の」 can be used as 「を」?


Here is the sentence spoken by Kansai speaker.

> そのフォークみたい **の** 貸してください。

Other than the question I put on the topic, if the 「の」 is not used instead of
「を」, I would like to know if I can omit the 「の」 in the sentence?




This has nothing to do with Kansai.

「フォークみたい **の** 」 means 「フォークみたい **なもの** 」= "fork-like thing".

The 「の」 is not being used instead of 「を」. Rather, 「を」 is being omitted because
of the informality of the speech.

You can correctly say 「フォークみたい **のを** 貸してください」 if you want to.

You cannot omit the 「の」 because if you do, 「フォークみたい」 cannot be nominalized.
