N5 Vocabulary · Test 14

時間 is read じかん, meaning 'time.' Option 4 matches this reading exactly.

• 1しかん is not a valid reading of 時間; it uses the wrong initial consonant (sh- instead of j-).
• 2じがん is not a valid reading; the second kanji 間 is read かん, not がん.
• 3しがん is not a valid reading; both syllables are wrong.

• 時間じかん — time

見られません is the potential negative form of 見る (to see/watch), read みられません. Option 3 matches exactly.

• 1きられません starts with き- instead of み-, confusing the kanji 見 with something else; not a valid form of 見る.
• 2みいられません inserts an extra い- syllable that does not belong in the potential form of 見る.
• 4きいられません has both the wrong initial consonant and an extra inserted vowel; not a valid form.

• 見みられません — cannot see/watch (potential negative, from 見る)

一つ is read ひとつ, meaning 'one (item).' Option 1 matches exactly.

• 2ふだつ is not a valid reading; it resembles ふたつ (two) but with a voiced dakuten on た, making it incorrect.
• 3ふたつ means 'two items,' not 'one'; this is the wrong number entirely.
• 4ひどつ is not a valid reading; the second syllable should be と, not ど.

• 一ひとつ — one (general counter for items)

千円 is read せんえん, meaning 'one thousand yen.' Option 4 matches exactly.

• 1せいえん inserts an extra い- after せ; 千 is read せん, not せい.
• 2せいねん is the reading of 青年 (youth), not 千円; both kanji readings are wrong.
• 3せんねん is the reading of 千年 (a thousand years), not 千円; 円 is read えん, not ねん.

• 千円せんえん — one thousand yen

父 is read ちち, meaning 'father.' Option 2 (ちぢ) appears to be the intended correct choice, but it likely contains a transcription error: ぢ should be ち, giving ちち. Among the given options, ちぢ is the closest to the correct reading.

• 1すち is not a valid reading of 父.
• 3しち is the reading of 七 (seven), not 父.
• 4つち means 'soil/earth' (土) or 'hammer'; it is not a reading of 父.

• 父ちち — father

The sentence means 'I take a shower at night.' The correct verb for taking a shower is あびます (浴びます), literally 'to be poured on / to bathe.' シャワーを浴びる is the standard collocation.

• 2とります (取ります) means 'to take' and is used for photos (写真をとる) or notes, but not for showers.
• 3なきます (泣きます) means 'to cry,' which does not fit.
• 4ぬぎます (脱ぎます) means 'to take off (clothes),' which does not collocate with シャワー.

• 浴あびます — to be showered with / to bathe (used with シャワー)

The sentence means 'Please don't smoke here.' The verb すわないで (吸わないで) is the negative -て form of すう (吸う, to smoke), followed by ください ('please'). たばこを すう is the standard collocation for 'to smoke a cigarette.'

• 1かけないで (かけないで) from かける could mean 'to hang/wear' etc., but たばこをかける is not a valid collocation.
• 2きえないで (消えないで) from きえる (消える, to go out/extinguish) is intransitive; you cannot say たばこをきえる.
• 4つかないで (つかないで) from つく could mean 'to arrive / to stick' etc., but たばこをつく is not standard for 'to smoke.'

• 吸すわないで — please don't smoke (negative -て form of 吸う)
• ください — please (used after a -て form to make a polite request)

The phrase はじめまして (Nice to meet you) is conventionally followed by どうぞ よろしく (お願いします) — 'Please treat me well / I look forward to our relationship.' Option 4, よろしく, is the standard and only natural continuation among the choices.

• 1ごめんください is used when visiting someone's house (like knocking on a door) or asking to be excused — it does not follow はじめまして.
• 2ごちそうさま is said after finishing a meal to express gratitude — completely unrelated to a first meeting.
• 3こんばんは means 'Good evening' — a time-specific greeting, not a response to はじめまして.

• はじめまして — Nice to meet you (first meeting)
• よろしく — Please treat me well / kindly (used after はじめまして)

The sentence means 'How many eggs do you need?' Eggs (たまご) are counted with the counter こ (個), so なんこ (何個) is correct.

• 2なんさつ (何冊) counts books/magazines, not eggs.
• 3なんだい (何台) counts machines/vehicles, not eggs.
• 4なんまい (何枚) counts flat objects (paper, tickets, etc.), not eggs.

• 何個なんこ — how many (counter こ for small objects like eggs)
• いりますか — do you need? (from いる, to need)

The sentence means 'I learn/memorize new words.' The verb that collocates with ことば (words) in the sense of learning them is おぼえます (覚えます, to memorize/learn). Option 3 is correct.

• 1もちます (持ちます) means 'to hold/carry' — you don't 'hold' words in this context.
• 2なります means 'to become' — grammatically and semantically wrong with を before ことば.
• 4つとめます (務めます) means 'to serve / to perform a duty' — not used with ことば.

• ことば — word(s), language
• おぼえます — to memorize, to learn (覚える)
