Answers and Explanations
- の一つだExplanation:
「XはYの一つだ」 (X wa Y no hitotsu da) means 'X is one of Y's'. It's used to identify something as a member of a larger group or category. Y is the group, and X is one specific member of that group. Construction: X は [Group Y] の一つだ.
- そんなにExplanation:
「そんなに」 (sonna ni) is an adverb meaning 'so much', 'to that extent', or 'that (much/way)'. It's often used with negative predicates to mean 'not so much' or 'not that...'. Here, it lessens the degree of面白さ (interestingness).
- ございますExplanation:
「ございます」 (gozaimasu) is a polite and formal equivalent of 「あります」 (arimasu - to be, to exist for inanimate objects). It is often used in formal settings or by service staff.
- ように なるExplanation:
「ように なる」 (you ni naru) means 'to reach the point where' or 'to become able to'. It indicates a change in ability or state over time. Here, 「ひけるように なる」 means 'to become able to play.' The sentence expresses an expectation of this future change. Pattern: Verb (potential form or dictionary form) + ように なる.
- 急がExplanation:
The grammar 「～なくてもいいです」 (nakutemo ii desu) means 'you don't have to do X' or 'it's okay not to do X'. It is formed by taking the verb's ない-form, removing the final い, and adding くてもいいです. The verb 急ぐ (isogu, to hurry) is a Group 1 (う-verb). Its ない-form is 急がない (isoganai). Removing the final い gives 急が (isoga). Thus, the sentence becomes 「そんなに 急がなくてもいいですよ」.
- とかんがえられていますExplanation:
「〜と考えられている」 (to kangaerarete iru) means 'it is thought that...' or 'it is considered that...'. It's a passive voice construction indicating a generally accepted idea or belief. Construction: Clause + と考えられている.
- でできていますExplanation:
「～でできている」 (de dekite iru) means 'is made of/from ~' or 'is composed of ~'. The particle 「で」 indicates the material or ingredients used. 「できる」 in this context means 'to be made' or 'to be completed'. Construction: Material (Noun) + でできている.
- 待たせられてExplanation:
「～せられて」 (serarete) is the て-form of the causative passive. For Group 1 (godan) verbs like 待つ (matsu), the causative passive is 待たせられる (mataserareru). It means 'to be made to do something'. In this sentence, 「待たせられて」 connects to 「嫌です」, expressing that the speaker dislikes being made to wait. The pattern is: [Forcer] に [Action in causative passive て-form].
- 以上Explanation:
「以上」 (ijou) means 'more than or equal to', 'at least', or 'not less than'. It is used with numbers, quantities, or levels. Here, it specifies the minimum score required to advance. Construction: Number/Quantity + 以上.
- だんだんExplanation:
「だんだん」(dandan) means 'gradually' or 'little by little'. It is used to describe a progressive change that happens over time, such as the weather getting warmer. It often appears with verbs like 「なる」 (to become) to show a gradual transition.
