Answers and Explanations
- そこExplanation:
「そこ」 (soko) means 'there' or 'that place'. It refers to a location near the listener or a place previously mentioned. Usage: そこ に [あります/います].
- があるExplanation:
「[Noun A] がある [Noun B]」 describes Noun B as having Noun A. The phrase 「庭 (niwa)がある」 (a garden exists / there is a garden) modifies 「家 (ie)」 (house), meaning 'a house that has a garden'. This forms a relative clause. Usage: [Noun (feature)] が ある [Noun (main item)].
- のまないほうがいいExplanation:
「〜ないほうがいい」 (nai hou ga ii) is used to give advice against doing something, meaning 'it's better not to do ~' or 'you shouldn't do ~'. It is formed with the plain negative form (ない-form) of the verb. Usage: [Verb-ない form] + ほうがいい.
- きいていますExplanation:
「〜ています」 (te imasu) indicates an ongoing action (present progressive 'am/is/are ~ing'), a state resulting from a past action, or a habitual action. Here, it means 'am listening'. It is formed by taking the て-form of a verb and adding 「います」. Usage: [Verb-て form] + います.
- ねたほうがいいExplanation:
「〜たほうがいい」 (ta hou ga ii) is used to give advice or make a recommendation, meaning 'it's better to do ~' or 'you should do ~'. It is formed with the past tense plain form (た-form) of the verb. Usage: [Verb-た form] + ほうがいい.
- 赤いですExplanation:
When an い-adjective is used as a predicate in polite speech, it is followed by 「です」 (desu). 「赤い (akai)」 + 「です」 means 'is red'. Usage: [い-adjective] + です.
- とExplanation:
The particle 「と」 (to) can mean 'with' when it indicates a person or animal accompanying someone in an action. 「友達 (tomodachi)と」 means 'with my friend'. Usage: [Person/Animal] と (いっしょに) [Action].
- ねExplanation:
The sentence-ending particle 「ね」 (ne) is used to seek confirmation or agreement from the listener, similar to 'isn't it?' or 'right?'. It softens the statement. Usage: [Sentence] + ね.
- たりしますExplanation:
「〜たり〜たりする」 (tari tari suru) is used to list multiple actions as examples, implying that other similar actions might also be done. It suggests a non-exhaustive list. Verbs are put into their た-form, and 「り」 (ri) is added. Usage: [Verb 1-た form]り、[Verb 2-た form]り する.
- いつかExplanation:
「いつか」 (itsuka) means 'sometime' or 'someday'. It is formed by adding 「か」 (ka) to the question word 「いつ」 (itsu - when). Usage: いつか [Verb Phrase].
