Answers and Explanations
- をExplanation:
「を」 (o/wo) can mark a place that is passed through or along which movement occurs. With verbs like 「行く (iku)」 (iku - to go), 「歩く (aruku)」 (aruku - to walk), 「通る (tooru)」 (tooru - to pass through), 「を」 indicates the route or area of movement. Usage: [Path/Area] を [Motion Verb].
- ありますExplanation:
「あります」 (arimasu) is used to state the existence of inanimate things (like a post office). It means 'there is/are'. Usage: [Place] に [Thing] が あります / [Thing] は [Place] に あります.
- にかえりますExplanation:
The pattern 「[Place] に かえります」 ([Place] ni kaerimasu) means 'to return to [Place]' (typically one's home, hometown, or home country). The particle 「に」 (ni) marks the destination. 「へ」 (e) can also be used. Usage: [Destination] に 帰ります.
- これExplanation:
「これ」 (kore) means 'this' and is used by the speaker to refer to an object near them. The listener would refer to the same object as 「それ」 (sore - that) if it's near the speaker but not near the listener. Usage: これ は [Noun] ですか.
- 何さいExplanation:
「何さい」 (nansai) is the question word for asking about age. 「おいくつですか」 (oikutsu desu ka) is a politer alternative. Usage: 何さい ですか.
- さむくないExplanation:
The negative form of an い-adjective is made by replacing the final い with くない. 「寒い (samui)」 becomes 「寒くない (samukunai)」. This is the plain/casual form. When asking a question with ですか, 「さむくないですか」 is natural. Usage: [い-adjective stem] + くない.
- つもりですExplanation:
「〜つもりです」 (tsumori desu) expresses the speaker's intention or plan to do something. It follows the dictionary form of a verb. 「行くつもりです (iku tsumori desu)」 means 'I intend to go'. Usage: [Verb-dictionary form] つもりです.
- ときExplanation:
「とき」 (toki) means 'when' or 'at the time'. It follows a noun (with の), a verb (plain form), an い-adjective, or a な-adjective (with な) to indicate the time or condition for the main clause. 「暇 (hima)なとき」 means 'when you are free'. Usage: [Condition/Time description] + とき.
- だれかExplanation:
「だれか」 (dareka) means 'someone' or 'anyone'. It is formed from the question word 「だれ」 (dare - who) + 「か」 (ka). Usage: だれか が [Verb].
- よんでいませんExplanation:
「まだ 〜ていません」 (mada ...te imasen) expresses that an action has not yet been completed. 「まだ」 means 'still' or 'not yet', and 「〜ていません」 is the polite negative continuous/stative form. Usage: まだ [Verb て-form] いません.
