notifying
通知する
解説 Definition
notifying は notify の現在分詞・動名詞で、誰かに必要な情報を正式に知らせることを表します。予定の変更、結果、問題などを相手に通知する場合によく使われます。
Notifying is the present participle and gerund of notify. It means formally or deliberately informing someone about a change, result, problem, or other information they need to know, either as an action in progress or as an activity.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 notify の語末の y を i に変えて -ing を付けた形です（notify → notifying）。発音では語末部分が /faɪɪŋ/ と続きます。notify someone of/about something「人に事柄を通知する」の型で、単なる会話より変更・結果・問題を正式に知らせる場面と結び付けましょう。
Begin with notify, meaning to give someone needed information, often formally. Before adding -ing, change the final y to i: notify becomes notifying. Remember the common patterns “notify someone of something” and “notify someone about something,” as in notifying customers about a service change or notifying the school of an error. In “The company is notifying customers,” it forms a progressive verb; after expressions such as “Thank you for,” it names the action. Associate the word with official messages, alerts, results, and schedule changes rather than ordinary casual conversation.
例文

その誤りを私たちに通知してくださりありがとうございます。
The school began notifying parents after the schedule was updated.

notifying の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語の「知る」notusと「作る」facereに由来し、中世フランス語経由で英語に入りました。「知らしめる」が原義で、情報を伝えて「通知する」という意味に派生しました。同じ語根にnotion（概念）やnotable（注目すべき）があります。
Notifying is formed from notify by changing final y to i and adding -ing. Notify comes through French and Latin from Latin notificare, meaning “to make known” or “to announce.” That verb combines notus, “known,” with a form related to facere, “to make.” The historical structure therefore matches the modern sense of causing information to become known. The -ing ending presents this act of informing as ongoing or as an activity.
