N4 Vocabulary · Test 1

1いそがしかった

いそがしかった is the past of 忙いそがしい, 'was busy'. It shares the ending しかった but the kanji 忙 is different from 楽.

2すずしかった

すずしかった is the past of 涼すずしい, 'was cool, refreshing'. It describes temperature, not enjoyment of the day, so it fails here.

4かなしかった

かなしかった is the past of 悲かなしい, 'was sad'. It looks similar but has the opposite meaning to 楽しい.

1かたち

かたち is 形, 'shape, form'. It is another sense word but it describes what something looks like, not how it tastes.

2いろ

いろ is 色, 'color'. It also describes appearance, so it cannot replace 味 after この when the predicate is about liking a flavour.

3におい

におい is 匂い or 臭い, 'smell'. It is the closest trap because smell and taste are related senses, but the kanji 味 is specifically taste.

2ぶべん

ぶべん voices the first mora to ぶ. The correct compound reading keeps 不 as ふ, as in 不安ふあん, 'uneasy'.

3ふへん

ふへん uses へん for the second kanji. 便 is read ベン or ビン, while へん belongs to different kanji like 変へん.

4ぶへん

ぶへん is wrong in both places. It combines the voiced ぶ and the wrong second reading へん.

1とって

とって is 取って or 撮って, 'take' or 'take a photo'. It has the same small って shape but the kanji 取 is different from 切.

3あらって

あらって is 洗って, 'wash'. It is also something you do to やさい, which makes it a strong trap, but the printed kanji is 切, not 洗.

4もって

もって is 持って, 'hold, bring'. It shares the って ending but means carrying, not cutting.

1にそと

にそと is not a real word. It wrongly gives 以 the reading に and uses the kun'yomi そと for 外, mixing readings that never combine in this熟語.

2にがい

にがい is the reading of 苦い, 'bitter'. It sounds similar because of がい but the kanji and meaning are completely different.

3いそと

いそと mixes on'yomi イ for 以 with kun'yomi そと for 外, 'outside'. 熟語 like 以外 use on'yomi for both kanji, so this mix fails.

1白い

白い reads しろい and means white. It fails here because the underlined reading is くろい, not しろい.

3赤い

赤い reads あかい and means red. It fails here because the reading does not match くろい.

4青い

青い reads あおい and means blue or green. It fails here because the reading does not match くろい.

1計書

計書 keeps the correct first kanji 計 but swaps in 書しょ, which means to write or a book, as in 辞書じしょ. The pair 計書 is not the word けいかく for a plan.

2訂画

訂画 keeps the correct second kanji 画 but swaps in 訂, which means to correct, as in 訂正ていせい. The pair 訂画 is not the word けいかく.

4訂書

訂書 combines 訂 to correct and 書 to write. It is not the word けいかく, and both kanji are wrong for plan.

1匠員

匠員 imitates the shape with 匠, which means craftsman and reads しょう, plus 員 for member. It does not read いしゃ and does not mean doctor.

2医員

医員 keeps the correct 医 but uses 員, which means member or staff, as in 店員てんいん. It reads いいん and means medical staff, not いしゃ.

3匠者

匠者 keeps the correct second kanji 者 for person but uses 匠 for craftsman. It reads しょうしゃ and does not mean doctor.

2昼

昼 reads ひる and means daytime or midday. It fails here because the reading is よる, not ひる.

3夕

夕 reads ゆう and means evening, as in 夕方ゆうがた. It fails here because the reading does not match よる.

4朝

朝 reads あさ and means morning. It fails here because the reading does not match よる.

1貨して

貨 is the kanji for goods or freight, as in 貨物かもつ. It shares the reading か and the 貝 part, but it does not mean to lend.

2資して

資 is the kanji for resources or materials, as in 資料しりょう. It shares the 貝 part, but its onyomi is シ and it does not read か, and it does not mean to lend.

4質して

質 is the kanji for quality or questioning, as in 質問しつもん. Its onyomi is シツ so it does not read か here, and it does not mean to lend.
