What is the grammar rule for "Polite present/future verb form with られます/らいます (from もらう — to receive/borrow)"?

In Japanese, when you want to politely say 'I will receive' or 'I will borrow', you use the verb もらう (morau). Its polite form is もらいます (moraimasu) — but here it's shortened to らいます (raisu), a common casual-manga shorthand where the initial 'も' (mo) is dropped for comedic effect (like saying 'raimasu' → 'raisu'). This is not standard speech, but very common in memes and comics to sound playful or exaggerated. The full polite form would be 'あなたのお隣をもらいます' — but here, the object marker 'を' is omitted, and '隣' stands alone as if it’s a thing you can literally 'take'. It’s humorous because 'neighbor' isn’t an object you borrow — it’s absurd, like saying 'I’ll borrow your neighbor too!' 😅 Example: あなたの隣もらいます (your of neighbor also I’ll borrow/take)

What is the grammar rule for "Omission of object marker 'を' for comedic/colloquial effect"?

Normally, when you say 'I borrow X', you need the object marker を (wo) after the noun: 'あなたの隣をもらいます'. But in memes and casual speech, especially for humor, speakers often drop the 'を' to make the sentence feel abrupt, childish, or intentionally illogical — like a toddler grabbing something and declaring 'I take it!'. Here, omitting 'を' makes '隣' (neighbor) sound like a physical item you can just pick up and borrow, which is the joke. Example: あなたの隣もらいます (instead of correct: あなたの隣をもらいます) — your of neighbor** also** I’ll take (vs. proper: your of neighbor** [object marker] I’ll receive)
