Answers and Explanations
- みないExplanation:
The plain negative form of a る-verb (ichidan verb) is made by changing the final る (ru) to ない (nai). 「見る (miru)」 (miru - to see/watch) becomes 「見ない (minai)」 (minai - not see/watch). This form is used in casual speech. Usage: [る-Verb stem] + ない.
- すぎるExplanation:
「すぎる」 (sugiru) is attached to verb stems or adjective stems (い-adjectives drop い, な-adjectives use stem) to indicate excessiveness ('too much', 'overly ~'). 「大きすぎる (ookisugiru)」 means 'too big'. Usage: [Verb-stem / い-adj stem / な-adj stem] + すぎる.
- だれExplanation:
「だれ」 (dare) is a question word meaning 'who'. It is used to ask about a person's identity. 「どなた」 (donata) is a more polite equivalent. Usage: だれ ですか / だれ が [Verb]か.
- たいですExplanation:
「〜たいです」 (tai desu) expresses the speaker's desire to do something. It is formed by attaching 「たい」 to the verb stem (masu-stem) and adding 「です」 for politeness. Usage: [Verb stem] + たいです.
- なあExplanation:
「なあ」 (naa) is a sentence-ending particle, often used by male speakers or in informal contexts, to express emotion, admiration, reflection, or a sense of longing. It can be similar to 'ah...' or an emphatic '...isn't it!'. Usage: [Sentence (often plain form)] + なあ.
- てからExplanation:
「〜てから」 (te kara) means 'after doing ~' or 'since doing ~'. It indicates that one action takes place after another action is completed. It is formed by taking the て-form of a verb and adding 「から」. Usage: [Verb-て form] + から.
- もExplanation:
The particle 「も」 (mo) means 'also' or 'too'. It replaces particles like 「は」 (wa) or 「が」 (ga) when indicating that something is also true for the marked noun. Usage: [Noun] + も.
- だExplanation:
「だ」 (da) is the plain or casual form of the copula 'to be' (is, am, are). It is used in informal speech. Usage: [Noun/な-adjective stem] + だ.
- はExplanation:
The particle 「は」 (wa) is a topic marker. It indicates what the sentence is about. In this sentence, 「私 (watashi)」 (I) is the topic. Usage: [Topic] は [Description/Predicate].
- もうExplanation:
「もう」 (mou) means 'already' when used with an affirmative past tense verb, or 'soon/now' with a future action. Here, it asks if the homework is *already* done. Usage: もう [Verb-past affirmative] / もうすぐ [Verb-non-past].
