Hello! I have some qns...Hopefully someone can clear them up. Those in brackets are the answers.

1)兄と弟は周りの人にいつも比べられてしまう。
I'm a bit unclear about the use of to here.
Is this "The elder brother AND the younger brother has always been compared"?
Or is this "The younger brother has always be compare WITH his elder brother"?
Then how would you say for the other sentence?

2)部屋の電気が消えている（ということ）は、多分もう寝たのでしょう。
I dun understand why to iu is used here. =_=

3)運動の後で、学生たちが冷たい水を（ほしくっている）。
How does this grammar work? I have never seen this before. Anyway shouldn't it be hoshikute? Or is tte the form u used when relaying a msg? Please elaborate.

4)嫌でもテスト受け（なくてはいけません）。
１）ないではだめです。
２）なくてはいけません
３）ないではなりません
４）ないてはすみません
I chose the right answer but I'm not sure why 1 and 3 is not the answer. What are their differences?

5)まだ掃除が終わらないから教室へ（入っちゃ）ためだよ。
１）入って
２）入った
３）入るは
４）入っちゃ
Is this the colloquial form of 入ってしまう？　If so, where is the う? Plus shouldn't it be in te-form plus は　to conjugate to だめ?

6)こちらのワイシャツの這おうが少し（お高う）ございます。
１）お高う
２）お高い
３）高いに
４）高いで
I chose 4 because I thought it would be 高いである, which basically means 高いです right? It seemed logical to me. I didn't learn this type of keigo...Oshiete kuremasen ka?

1. The elder brother and younger brother are always compared by the people around them.

2. という is used to paraphrase "部屋の電気が消えている". It roughly translates to " The matter about the lights in the room are turned off, probably he/she is sleeping already."

3. Never knew it exists

4. ~ないで　is used to tell people not to do something. 走らないで、泣かないで。

5. I thought the answer should be 入って. Your だめ is short of ".

6. I don't understand your sentence. What is 這おう?

the options given are ”ないでは～”, and not ”～ないで”。
your explanation of ”～ないで” is not wrong, but it is not used in this case.

I think the で　is placed there to confuse.
受けなくては
受けないでは

They look similar to people who are unsure.

Ahh so if its なくてはだめ　と　なくてはなりません then it fits the question?

 

[ransackyourtoilet]

Thanks tsubasa! EH I have kanzen master but its not inside....Probably because mine is TW version?

So in this case cannot use dearu at all?

What's the difference between sonkeigo and teinei?

Sorry for giving you so many qns.

 

[dimitri_can]

So in this case cannot use dearu at all?

Sonkeigo: 尊敬語 (Honorific form)

Teinei: 丁寧語 (Polite form)

[unfinished07]

Ahh so if its なくてはだめ　と　なくてはなりません then it fits the question?

yah, then it will fit the question. but then なくてはだめ, なくてはいけません, なくてはなりません all have similar meanings, so i don't think they will put all 3 for selection in the same question.
