Answers and Explanations
- だExplanation:
「だ」 (da) is the casual form of 'です' (desu), meaning 'is/am/are'. It's used in informal conversations. Usage: [Noun] だ.
- にExplanation:
The particle 「に」 (ni) indicates the location of existence when used with verbs like 「あります」 (to exist for inanimate objects) or 「います」 (to exist for animate beings). Usage: [Place] に [Thing] が あります/います.
- まだExplanation:
「まだ」 (mada) means 'not yet' when implying something is expected to happen or be completed. 「まだです」 means 'not yet'. It can also mean 'still' with affirmative verbs. Usage: まだ [Verb-negative form] / まだです.
- おきますExplanation:
「ます」 (masu) form is the polite non-past form of a verb. 「おきます」 (okimasu) is the masu-form of the verb 「おきる」 (okiru - to get up). It's used in polite speech. Usage: Verb stem + ます.
- じゃありませんExplanation:
「じゃありません」 (ja arimasen) is a polite way to say 'is not/am not/are not'. It is the negative form of 「です」. 「ではありません」 (dewa arimasen) is also correct and slightly more formal. Usage: [Noun] + じゃありません.
- じゃないExplanation:
「じゃない」 (ja nai) is the casual negative form of 「だ」 (da) / 「です」 (desu). It is used with nouns and な-adjective stems. 「日曜日じゃない (nichiyoubi janai)」 means 'is not Sunday'. Usage: [Noun / な-adjective stem] + じゃない.
- に行きますExplanation:
The pattern 「[Place] に 行きます (ikimasu)」 ([Place] ni ikimasu) means 'to go to [Place]'. The particle 「に」 (ni) marks the destination. 「へ」 (e) can also be used. Usage: [Destination] に 行きます.
- 見たExplanation:
A verb in its plain past form (た-form) can directly modify a following noun, forming a relative clause. 「見た映画 (mita eiga)」 means 'the movie that (someone) watched'. Usage: [Verb-た form] + [Noun].
- のが好きExplanation:
The pattern 「[Verb (dictionary form)] + のが好き (suki)です」 is used to say that one likes doing a certain action. 「の」 turns the verb phrase into a noun concept, and 「が好き (suki)」 indicates liking that concept. Usage: [Verb-dictionary form] のが 好き.
- くれたExplanation:
「くれる (kureru)」 means 'to give', used when the action of giving is directed towards the speaker or the speaker's in-group. The receiver (speaker/in-group) is often omitted if clear from context. Usage: [Giver] が [Receiver (speaker/in-group, often omitted)] に [Object] を くれる.
