Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these options has the correct sentence structure in Japanese?

Answer: Chizubaagaa wa oishii desu

The English words for "chizubaagaa" and "oishii" are "cheeseburger" and "delicious". "Cheeseburger" is a noun while "delicious" is an adjective. "Chizubaagaa wa oishii desu" means "The cheeseburger is delicious."

2. Which of these answers has the correct sentence structure?

Answer: Maiban terebi o mimasu

"Mai" means "every", while "ban" means "night" in Japanese, but in English, it means to prevent something from happening. Therefore, "maiban" means every night. The phrase "terebi o mimasu" means to watch TV. Together, the sentence "Maiban terebi o mimasu" means to watch TV every night.

3. Which of these sentences has the correct sentence structure?

Answer: Ginkoo wa doko desu

Doko is part of the Ko-So-A-Do system. It is used in the middle of a sentence, unlike dore and dono.

4. In Japanese, a question mark does not always come after ka.

Answer: True

Ka is a particle that is commonly used in the Japanese language. It is used when asking a question. Ka already represents a question mark in a sentence, so a question mark is not necessarily needed after a sentence.

5. What is the Japanese for "There is a cat near the computer"?

Answer: Neko wa konpyuutaa no chikaku desu

The difference between neko and inu is that neko is a cat while inu is a dog. Tonari and chikaku are location words that mean "close to something". Tonari means next to while chikaku means near.

6. Which of these answers would fix this following sentence: "Oishii ga sakana desu"?

Answer: Sakana wa oishii desu

The reason why "wa" would be used instead of "ga" is because "sakana" is the word that explains the sentence while "oishi"i is an adjective that would describe the sakana. The English translation of "Sakana wa oishii desu" is "The fish is delicious".

7. Translate the following sentence from Japanese into English: "Inu wa uchi no naka desu".

Answer: The dog is inside the house

Dog would be the topic of the sentence. Naka is a location word that means inside. The phrase "uchi no naka desu" in the sentence means "inside the house".

8. What is the meaning of the word "tabemono" in this sentence: "Tabemono wa oishii desu"?

Answer: Food

"Tabemono" means food while "tabemasu" means to eat. The -masu suffix is used in verb conjugation.

9. Which of the following words would be appropriate for this following sentence: "Gakkoo de hon ni ___"?

Answer: Imashita

"Gakkoo" means "school", while "de" is the particle that means the location of the direct object from what the verb is doing to it. "Hon" means "book", "ni" is the particle that means goal of action, and "imashita" means "brought". The (location) de (noun) ni (verb) format is one of the more general formats used in the Japanese language.

10. What particle belongs in this blank? "Watashi ___ enpitsu desu."

Answer: No

The "no" particle separates the main idea, specific explanation nouns, and describes ownership. It replaces the "wa" particle. "San" wouldn't be used after "watashi" because it means Mr./Ms.
