Answers and Explanations
- ここExplanation:
「ここ」 (koko) means 'here', indicating a place near the speaker or where the speaker is currently located. Usage: ここ です.
- おもしろくなかったExplanation:
The plain past negative form of an い-adjective is 「〜くなかった」 (kunakatta). For 「面白い (omoshiroi)」, it becomes 「面白くなかった (omoshirokunakatta)」. Usage: [い-adjective stem] + くなかった.
- のExplanation:
「の」 (no) can be used as a pronoun to replace a previously mentioned or understood noun, meaning 'one' or 'the one'. Here, 「[小]{ちい}さいの」 means 'the small one', referring to the [車]{くるま} (car) mentioned by A. Usage: [Adjective (plain form)] + の.
- のExplanation:
「の」 (no) can nominalize a preceding verb or verb phrase, turning it into a noun concept that can be the object of another verb (like 待つ - to wait). '来るの (kuruno)' refers to 'the act/event of coming'. Usage: [Verb (plain form)] + の.
- ねExplanation:
「ね」 (ne) is a sentence-ending particle used to express agreement, seek confirmation, or add a sense of shared feeling. Here, A uses it to state an opinion and invite B's agreement. B also uses it to agree. Usage: [Sentence] ね.
- だれExplanation:
「だれ」 (dare) means 'who'. It is used to ask about the identity of a person or people. Usage: だれ が [Predicate]?
- まえにExplanation:
「まえに」 (mae ni) means 'before'. It indicates that an action (washing hands) occurs prior to another event (a meal). When used with a noun, the pattern is [Noun] + の + まえに. Usage: [Noun] の まえに.
- なりましたExplanation:
「〜になります」 (ni narimasu) indicates a change into a new state or condition. For な-adjectives, the stem is followed by 「に なります」. 「静か (shizuka)になりました」 means 'became quiet'. Usage: [な-adjective stem] に なります.
- てExplanation:
The て-form of a verb connects sequential actions. 「けして」 (keshite) is the て-form of 「けす」 (kesu - to turn off). It links the action of turning off the light to the action of sleeping. Usage: [Verb 1 in て-form], [Verb 2].
- だろうExplanation:
「だろう」 is the plain form of 「でしょう」 and expresses the speaker's supposition or probable guess. Here, B is guessing that Yamada-san will be fine, based on him usually being early. It's used for a fairly confident guess. Usage: [Verb (plain form) / i-Adjective / na-Adjective (without な) / Noun] + だろう.
