Answers and Explanations
- んですExplanation:
「んです」 (n desu) is used for giving explanations, reasons, or emphasizing information. It often implies a context that the listener might be aware of or is being made aware of. 「テストがあるんです」 explains the reason for needing to study. Usage: [Verb-plain / い-adj / な-adj + な / Noun + な] + んです.
- にすることにしたExplanation:
「〜にする」 (ni suru) means 'to decide on (a noun)'. When combined with 「〜ことにする」 (koto ni suru - to decide to do an action), 「Noun + にすることにする」 means 'to decide to make it (Noun)' or 'to decide that the choice is (Noun)'. Here, the speaker has decided that Okinawa will be their travel destination.
- のでExplanation:
「ので」 (node) is used to indicate a reason or cause, translating to 'because' or 'so'. In this sentence, 'having a headache' is the reason for 'being absent'. 「ので」 is often used when the reason is presented as a factual circumstance. Usage: [Reason/Cause] ので [Result].
- どうですかExplanation:
「どうですか」 (dou desu ka) is used to ask for someone's opinion or impression about something, or to inquire about a state or condition. It translates to 'How is it?' or 'How about it?'. Usage: [Topic] は どうですか.
- ませんかExplanation:
「〜ませんか」 (masen ka) is a polite way to invite someone to do something. It literally means 'won't you do ~?' or 'how about doing ~?'. Usage: [Verb stem] + ませんか.
- たいですExplanation:
The 「たいです」 (tai desu) form expresses the speaker's wish or desire to perform an action. It is made by adding 「たいです」 to the stem of a verb (the part before ます). 「行きたいです (ikitai desu)」 (ikitai desu) means 'want to go'. Usage: [Verb Stem] + たいです.
- ってExplanation:
「って」 (tte) is a colloquial quotation marker, similar to 「と」 (to) but more informal. It is used after a direct quote or the content of what someone said or thought. 「来るって言ってた (kuru tte itteta)」 means 'He said he's coming'. Usage: [Quoted content (often plain form)] + って + [Verb of saying/thinking/hearing].
- すこしExplanation:
「すこし」 (sukoshi) means 'a little' or 'a bit'. It's used to indicate a small amount or degree. Usage: すこし (です/でした etc.).
- よくExplanation:
「よく」 (yoku) means 'often' or 'frequently'. It indicates that an action happens many times. 「よく間違えます (machigaemasu)」 means 'I often make mistakes'. Usage: よく [Verb].
- かかなかったExplanation:
For う-verbs (Group 1 verbs), the plain negative past form is created by taking the plain negative (stem with 'a' vowel + ない) and changing ない to なかった. 「書く (kaku)」 -> 「書かない (kakanai)」 -> 「書かなかった (kakanakatta)」. Usage: [Verb stem with 'a' vowel] + なかった.
