Grammar & Usage

How it works

This phrase uses the onomatopoeic adverb ズラリ (zurari) followed by the particle と (to) to describe the state of being lined up. 並んだ (naranda) is the past tense (ta-form) of the verb 並ぶ (narabu, to line up), which then modifies the noun 靴 (kutsu, shoes). The structure is [onomatopoeia] + と + [verb in ta-form] + [noun].
