Answers and Explanations
- たべなかったExplanation:
For る-verbs (Group 2 verbs), the plain negative past form is created by taking the plain negative (stem + ない) and changing ない to なかった. 「食べる (taberu)」 -> 「食べない (tabenai)」 -> 「食べなかった (tabenakatta)」. Usage: [Verb stem of ru-verb] + なかった.
- おきたExplanation:
For る-verbs (Group 2 verbs), the plain past tense (た-form) is created by replacing the final る with た. 「おきる」 (okiru - to get up) becomes 「おきた」 (okita - got up). Usage: [Verb stem of ru-verb] + た.
- だいたいExplanation:
「だいたい」 (daitai) means 'approximately' or 'about' when referring to quantities or numbers. Usage: だいたい [Number/Quantity].
- てもいいですかExplanation:
「〜てもいいですか」 (te mo ii desu ka) is a polite way to ask for permission. It means 'May I...?' or 'Is it okay if I...?'. It is formed using the て-form of the verb + もいいですか. Usage: [Verb て-form] も いいですか.
- きれいだExplanation:
For な-adjectives used as a predicate in plain/casual form, the adjective stem is followed by 「だ」 (da). 「きれい」 (kirei - clean/pretty) becomes 「きれいだ」 (kirei da - is clean/pretty). Usage: [な-adjective stem] だ.
- いますExplanation:
「います」 (imasu) is used to state the existence of animate things (people, animals). Its negative form is 「いません」 (imasen). Usage: [Place] に [Person/Animal] が います.
- このExplanation:
「この」 (kono) means 'this' and modifies a noun that follows it. It indicates something near the speaker. 「この料理 (ryouri)」 means 'this dish'. Usage: この [Noun].
- いっしょにExplanation:
「いっしょに」 (issho ni) means 'together'. It is used to propose or describe doing an activity with one or more people. Usage: ( [Person] と) いっしょに [Action].
- なExplanation:
「な」 (na) at the end of a dictionary form verb is a strong negative command, meaning 'Don't (do something)'. It's more forceful and less polite than 「〜ないでください」. 「心配するな (shinpaisuruna)」 means 'Don't worry!'. Usage: [Verb dictionary form] + な.
- のんではいけませんExplanation:
「〜てはいけません」 (te wa ikemasen) is a strong form of prohibition, meaning 'must not do ~' or 'you are not allowed to do ~'. It is formed by the て-form of the verb + は いけません. Usage: [Verb て-form] は いけません.
