N5 Vocabulary · Test 31

The verb くる (to come) in negative polite form is きません, and with the invitation particle か it becomes きませんか ('won't you come?'). The kanji for くる is 来, so the correct writing is 来ませんか. The sentence means 'Won't you come to my house?'

• 2采ませんか uses 采 (さい), which is not the kanji for くる. It is a lookalike distractor resembling 来.
• 3木ませんか uses 木 (き/もく, meaning 'tree'), which is a different word entirely, though it shares the reading き.
• 4未ませんか uses 未 (み/まだ, meaning 'not yet'), which is unrelated to the verb くる.

• 来くる — to come
• 来きませんか — won't you come?

The underlined word あいました is the past tense of the verb あう (会う), meaning 'to meet'. The sentence means 'Yesterday I met Tanaka-san.' The correct kanji writing is 会いました.

• 1見いました uses the kanji 見, which is read み (as in 見る, 'to see'). 見ました would be read みました, not あいました.
• 2書いました uses the kanji 書, which is read か (as in 書く, 'to write'). 書きました would be read かきました, not あいました.
• 4話いました uses the kanji 話, which is read はな (as in 話す, 'to speak'). 話しました would be read はなしました, not あいました.

• 会あう — to meet
• 見みる — to see
• 書かく — to write
• 話はなす — to speak

The underlined word おなじ means 'same' and is written 同じ. The sentence means 'I bought the same clothes as my younger sister.' 同じ is the standard kanji writing for this word.

• 2回じ uses the kanji 回, which is read かい or まわ(る) (as in 回る 'to turn/spin' or 回 'times/rounds'). It does not have the reading おな.
• 3向じ uses the kanji 向, which is read む(く) or こう (as in 向く 'to face'). It does not have the reading おな.
• 4冋じ uses 冋, which is not a standard kanji used in everyday Japanese and does not have the reading おな. It is a distractor that visually resembles 同.

• 同おなじ — same
• 服ふく — clothes
• 妹いもうと — younger sister

The sentence means 'Please write/draw the ___ from the station to the embassy.' The correct word is ちず (地図, map). 'えきからたいしかんまでのちずをかいてください' = 'Please draw a map from the station to the embassy.' The verb かく (書く/描く) works with 'map' since you can draw a map.

• 1しゃしん (写真) means 'photograph.' You take (とる) a photo, you don't typically 'write/draw' one, and a photo is not what you'd produce for directions.
• 3てがみ (手紙) means 'letter.' A letter is not something you draw to show a route.
• 4きっぷ (切符) means 'ticket.' You don't write/draw a ticket to show a route.

• ちず — map — 地図
• しゃしん — photograph — 写真
• てがみ — letter — 手紙
• きっぷ — ticket — 切符
• えき — station — 駅
• たいしかん — embassy — 大使館
• かいて — to write/draw — 書いて/描いて (te-form of かく)

The sentence means 'It's noisy, so please ___ the TV.' Since the reason is that it is noisy (うるさい), the natural request is to turn the TV off. Option 1, けして (消して, 'turn off'), is the correct choice. The pattern is テレビを消してください ('Please turn off the TV').

• 2つけて means 'turn on' (from つける). If it is already noisy, turning the TV on would make it worse, so this is wrong.
• 3しめて (閉めて) means 'close' (e.g., a door, window, or lid). You do not use 閉める for a TV, so this is wrong.
• 4あけて (開けて) means 'open' (e.g., a window, box, or door). You do not use 開ける for a TV, so this is wrong.

• 消けして — turn off (television, light, etc.) — て-form of 消す(けす)
• つけて — turn on (television, light, etc.) — て-form of つける
• 閉しめて — close (door, window, etc.) — て-form of 閉める(しめる)
• 開あけて — open (window, box, etc.) — て-form of 開ける(あける)
• うるさい — noisy, loud

The sentence means 'Today, ___ is falling.' The verb ふっています ('is falling') is used with precipitation such as rain (あめ) or snow (ゆき). Option 4, ゆき (snow), is the only choice that can 'fall' (ふる).

• 1くもり means 'cloudy (weather)'. Cloudiness is a state, not something that 'falls', so you cannot say くもりがふっています.
• 2はれ means 'clear/sunny (weather)'. Sunshine is a state, not something that 'falls', so this is wrong.
• 3かぜ means 'wind'. Wind 'blows' (ふく, as in 風がふく), not 'falls' (ふる), so this is wrong.

• ゆき — snow
• くもり — cloudy weather (noun form of くもる)
• はれ — clear/sunny weather (noun form of はれる)
• かぜ — wind
• ふって　います — is falling (from ふる, for rain/snow)
