Minna No Nihongo Lesson 43 Renshuu B Answers Today

Cracking the Code: A Deep Dive into Minna no Nihongo Lesson 43 (Renshuu B) If you’ve reached Lesson 43 of Minna no Nihongo Shokyu II

, congratulations! You’ve officially entered the "advanced beginner" zone where the grammar starts to feel much more expressive. This lesson is all about visual evidence (what things look like) and directional actions (going somewhere and coming back).

Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening in Renshuu B and how to nail those answers. 1. The "It Looks Like..." Pattern (～そうです)

The star of Lesson 43 is the conjecture form ～そうです. You use this when you see something and make a guess based on its appearance. Verbs: Drop the -masu and add sou desu.

Example: Ame ga furimasu (It rains) becomes Ame ga furi-sou desu (It looks like it’s going to rain). I-Adjectives: Drop the final i and add sou desu.

Example: Oishii (Delicious) becomes Oishi-sou desu (It looks delicious). Exception: Ii (Good) becomes Yosa-sou desu. Na-Adjectives: Just add sou desu directly to the stem.

Example: Himana (Free/bored) becomes Hima-sou desu (He looks like he has free time).

Pro-Tip for Renshuu B: Look closely at the illustrations. If a button is dangling by a thread, you'll use Button ga tore-sou desu (The button looks like it’s about to come off). 2. Going and Coming Back (～てきます)

The second half of Renshuu B usually focuses on the V-te form + kimasu pattern. This is incredibly useful for everyday life in Japan.

The Logic: You go somewhere to do an action and then return to your starting point. Common Phrases:

Chotto jidouhanbaiki e itte kimasu (I'm just going to the vending machine [and coming back]).

Kutsu o katte kimasu (I’m going to buy shoes [and coming back]).

In the exercises, you'll often see someone leaving their desk or house. The answer usually involves a destination + the action they are performing there. 3. Purpose with "ni" (～に) minna no nihongo lesson 43 renshuu b answers

Example: Kono yakan wa o-yu o wakasu no ni tsukaimasu (This kettle is used for boiling water). Where to Find the Answer Key

Mistake #1: Confusing ば with たら

• Right: 友達に会ったら、お金を借ります。 (たら is better for a one-time, specific plan)

Additional Explanations

In the above examples, the passive voice is used to describe an action that is being performed on the subject. The doer of the action is often indicated by the particle "ni" .

Some key grammar points to note:

• The passive voice is formed by adding the suffix "-rare" or "-are" to the verb stem.
• The verb "kudasaru" becomes "kudasare" in the passive voice.
• The verb "yaru" becomes "yare" in the passive voice.
