    Urusai - noisy/annoyingHow would you say "wasn't annoying"?

    • Urusaku nakatta

    • Urusaimasen

    • Urusa deshita

    • Urusa datta

    Correct Answer
    A. Urusaku nakatta
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "urusaku nakatta." This answer translates to "wasn't annoying" in English. The word "urusaku" is the negative form of "urusai," meaning "annoying" or "noisy." The addition of "nakatta" indicates the past tense, indicating that the action of being annoying did not occur in the past. Therefore, "urusaku nakatta" correctly conveys the meaning of "wasn't annoying."

    • Kuroi

    Correct Answer

    What is the past form of "atsui"?

    • Atsuinakatta

    • Atsuimasen deshita

    • Atsukatta

    • Atsui deshita

    Correct Answer
    A. Atsukatta
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "atsukatta." In Japanese, the past form of an adjective is formed by replacing the final "i" with "katta." Since "atsui" ends in "i," we can substitute it with "katta" to get "atsukatta," which means "it was hot."

    Cold - samuiHow would you say "not cold"?

    Correct Answer
    samukunai
    samukunaidesu
    samukuarimasen
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "samukunai, samukunaidesu, samukuarimasen". In Japanese, "samui" means "cold", and to express "not cold", you can use the negative form of the adjective "samui" by adding the suffix "nai" (ない) to it. Therefore, "samukunai" is the informal way to say "not cold". Additionally, "samukunaidesu" is the polite form of "samukunai" and "samukuarimasen" is the formal form.

    himadesu
    Explanation
    The given options are all variations of the phrase "not busy" in Japanese. The correct answer is "hima na, hima desu, hima, himana, himadesu." These options all mean "not busy" in different forms. "Hima na" is the casual form, "hima desu" is the polite form, "hima" is the casual short form, "himana" is the negative form, and "himadesu" is the polite short form.

    • Shizuka deshita

    • Shizuka imasen

    Correct Answer
    A. Shizuka de wa nai
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "shizuka de wa nai". This is because "de wa nai" is a negative form used to express "not" in Japanese. So, when combined with "shizuka" meaning "quiet", it becomes "not quiet".

    tooku nakatta
    tooku arimasen deshita
    tookuarimasen deshita
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "tooku nakatta". This is the past, negative form of "tooi". The verb "tooku" means "to be far" and when conjugated into the past, negative form, it becomes "tooku nakatta".

    Ii desu - goodWhat is "not good"?

    Correct Answer
    yokunai
    yokunai desu
    yoku arimasen
    yokuarimasen
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "yokunai, yokunai desu, yoku arimasen, yokuarimasen". In Japanese, "ii desu" means "good". To express the opposite of "good", the negative form "yokunai" is used. Additionally, the polite form "yokunai desu" and the formal form "yoku arimasen" are also correct ways to say "not good". The answer "yokuarimasen" is a misspelling of "yoku arimasen" and is not a correct option.

    What type of adjective is "kirei" meaning "pretty"?i-adjective or na-adjective?

    Correct Answer
    na-adjective
    Explanation
    'Kirei' is actually 'kirei na'! Even if it has a 'i' at the end, it is a 'na' adjective. But it is often said with out the 'na' like "Kirei!!!" Pretty! Due to that, some mistake it for a i-adjective!
