Answers and Explanations
- までExplanation:
「[Noun] + まで」 ([Noun] + made) indicates an endpoint in place ('as far as ~', 'up to ~') or time ('until ~'). Here, 「大阪まで (oosaka made)」 means 'as far as Osaka' or 'to Osaka (as the destination)'. Usage: [Noun (place/time)] + まで.
- のがExplanation:
「[Verb-plain] + のが」 ([Verb-plain] + no ga) nominalizes the verb phrase and marks it as the subject (often the object of liking/disliking, ability, etc.). 「描く (kaku)のが好き (suki)です」 means 'I like the act of drawing'. Usage: [Verb-dictionary form] + のが [好き/上手/下手など].
- みなかったExplanation:
The plain past negative form of a る-verb (ichidan verb) is made by taking the plain negative form (stem + ない) and changing ない to なかった. 「見る (miru)」 -> 「見ない (minai)」 -> 「見なかった (minakatta)」. Usage: [る-Verb stem] + なかった.
- 何もExplanation:
「何も + Negative Verb」 (nani mo + Negative Verb) means 'nothing' or 'not ... anything'. The particle 「も」 (mo) combined with 「何」 (nani - what) and a negative predicate means 'nothing'. Usage: 何も [Negative Verb].
- たのしかったExplanation:
To make an い-adjective past tense, change the final 「い」 (i) to 「かった」 (katta). 「楽しい (tanoshii)」 (tanoshii - fun) becomes 「楽しかった (tanoshikatta)」 (tanoshikatta - was fun). If used with です for politeness, it becomes 「〜かったです」. Usage: [い-adjective stem] + かった.
- に来ますExplanation:
「〜に来ます (kimasu)」 (ni kimasu) means 'to come to (a place)'. The particle 「に」 indicates the destination of coming. 「へ」 can also be used. Usage: [Place] に 来ます.
- が上手Explanation:
「〜が上手 (jouzu)です」 (ga jouzu desu) is used to say someone is good at or skilled at something. The skill or activity is marked with the particle 「が」. Usage: [Skill/Activity] が 上手です.
- でどれがいちばんExplanation:
「[Category] で どれ/何/誰/いつ/どこ が いちばん ～か」 ([Category] de dore/nani/dare/itsu/doko ga ichiban ~ ka) is used to ask 'Which/What/Who/When/Where is the most ~ within [Category]?'. 「いちばん」 (ichiban) means 'the most' or 'number one'. Usage: [Group/Category] で [Question Word (どれ/何など)] が いちばん [Adjective/Predicate] ですか.
- たべていませんExplanation:
「まだ 〜ていません」 (mada ~te imasen) means 'have not yet done ~' or 'am not yet doing ~'. It indicates that an action or state has not occurred up to the present moment but might happen later. Usage: まだ [Verb-て form] いません.
- だけExplanation:
「だけ」 (dake) means 'only' or 'just'. It is placed after the noun or quantity it limits. In this sentence, it means the speaker drinks *only* water. Usage: [Noun/Quantity] + だけ.
