Answers and Explanations
- でExplanation:
The particle 「で」 (de) can indicate the means or instrument by which an action is performed. 「電車で (densha de)」 means 'by train'. Usage: [Means/Instrument] で [Verb].
- のはExplanation:
「[Verb-plain] + のは」 ([Verb-plain] + no wa) nominalizes the verb phrase (turns it into a noun concept) and marks it as the topic of the sentence. 「勉強する (benkyousuru)のは」 means 'the act of studying' or 'as for studying'. Usage: [Verb-dictionary form] + のは [Predicate].
- だいたいExplanation:
「だいたい」 (daitai) means 'mostly', 'roughly', or 'approximately'. It indicates that something is largely but not completely done or understood. Usage: だいたい [Verb/Adjective/Quantity].
- いつもExplanation:
「いつも」 (itsumo) is an adverb meaning 'always' or 'usually'. It indicates that an action or state is consistently true or happens regularly. Usage: いつも [Predicate].
- ってExplanation:
「って」 (tte) is a casual quotation particle, often used in spoken Japanese instead of 「と」 (to) with verbs like 「言う (iu)」 or 「[聞]{き}く」 (kiku - to hear). It can also mean 'as for X' or 'speaking of X'. Usage: 「[Quote]」 って [Verb of saying/hearing].
- いかなかったExplanation:
The plain past negative form of an う-verb (godan verb) is made by taking the plain negative form (stem ending in 'a' + ない) and changing ない to なかった. 「行く (iku)」 -> 「行かない (ikanai)」 -> 「行かなかった (ikanakatta)」. Usage: [う-Verb stem ending in 'a' sound] + なかった.
- からExplanation:
「から」 (kara) means 'because' or 'since' and is used to state a reason or cause for an action or situation. Here, 'having a test tomorrow' is the reason for 'studying today'. Usage: [Reason] から [Result/Action].
- がほしいですExplanation:
「〜がほしいです」 (ga hoshii desu) means 'I want (something)'. The thing that is wanted is marked with the particle 「が」. 「ほしい」 is an い-adjective. Usage: [Desired Noun] が ほしいです.
- つかってもいいですかExplanation:
「〜てもいいですか」 (te mo ii desu ka) is used to ask for permission, meaning 'May I do ~?' or 'Is it alright if I do ~?'. It is formed by taking the て-form of a verb and adding 「もいいですか」. Usage: [Verb-て form] + も いいですか.
- だれかExplanation:
「だれか」 (dareka) means 'someone', 'somebody', or 'anyone'. It is formed by adding 「か」 (ka) to the question word 「だれ」 (dare - who). Usage: だれか が/は [Predicate].
