Answers and Explanations
- なあExplanation:
「なあ」 (naa) is a sentence-ending particle used to express a personal feeling, wish, admiration, or deep thought, often with a sigh or reflective tone. 「いいなあ」 expresses 'it would be nice if...' or 'I wish...'. Usage: [Sentence] + なあ.
- 何もExplanation:
「何も + negative verb」 (nani mo + negative verb) means 'nothing' or 'not... anything'. 「何」 (nani - what) + 「も」 (mo) + negative ending. Usage: 何も [Verb-negative form].
- てはいけないExplanation:
「〜てはいけない」 (te wa ikenai) expresses prohibition ('must not do', 'should not do'). It is a more direct/plain form compared to 「〜てはいけません」. Usage: [Verb て-form] は いけない.
- でしたExplanation:
「でした」 (deshita) is the polite past form of 「です」 (desu). It is used after nouns and な-adjective stems to indicate a past state politely. 「暇でした (hima deshita)」 means 'was free (time)'. Usage: [Noun / な-adjective stem] + でした.
- のがExplanation:
「[Verb (dictionary form)] + のが」 nominalizes the verb phrase, and 「が」 marks this nominalized action as the subject of a predicate like 「上手 (jouzu)です」 (is good at). 「弾く (hiku)のが上手 (jouzu)です」 means 'is good at the act of playing'. Usage: [Verb phrase ending in plain form] + のが [上手だ/下手だ/好きだ etc.].
- かたExplanation:
「〜かた」 (kata) is attached to the stem of a verb (the part before ます) to mean 'the way of doing [verb]' or 'how to [verb]'. 「作りかた (tsukurikata)」 means 'the way of making' or 'how to make'. Usage: [Verb Stem] + かた.
- あそんだExplanation:
The plain past tense (た-form) of う-verbs (Group 1 verbs) varies based on their dictionary form ending. For verbs ending in ぶ, む, or ぬ, the ending changes to んだ. 「遊ぶ (asobu)」 (asobu - to play) becomes 「遊んだ (asonda)」 (asonda - played). Usage: [Specific conjugation rule for う-verb] -> 〜た/〜だ.
- なExplanation:
When a な-adjective (like 「元気 (genki)」 - energetic) modifies a noun (like 「子供 (kodomo)」 - child), the particle 「な」 (na) is placed between the adjective stem and the noun. Usage: [な-adjective stem] + な + [Noun].
- よまないExplanation:
For う-verbs (Group 1 verbs), the plain negative form is created by changing the final 'u' sound of the dictionary form to an 'a' sound, and then adding ない. For example, 「読む (yomu)」 (yomu - to read) becomes 「読まない (yomanai)」 (yomanai - not read). Usage: [Verb stem with 'a' vowel] + ない.
- しかしExplanation:
「しかし」 (shikashi) is a conjunction meaning 'however' or 'but', used to introduce an idea that contrasts with what was previously said. Here, the fact that it's raining contrasts with the necessity of going out. Usage: [Sentence 1]. しかし、[Sentence 2].
