こんにちは、ちか先生です。
Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.
Today, I’m sharing a practice from my exclusive course.
This one’s for pre-advanced learners (JLPT N2).
Can you choose the correct answer?
[Practice Question]

*かさぐらいなら（＿＿）、だいじなかばんをおいてくるなんて。
ぬきにして
もとより
まだしも
ものなら

[Answer]
傘ぐらいなら（3 まだしも）、大事なかばんを置いてくるなんて。
It’s one thing to forget an umbrella, but how could you leave behind an important bag?
〜(なら)まだしも
= If it were just 〜, it might be acceptable.
It’s used when comparing two things.
You say:
“This (A) is barely acceptable, but that (B) is not acceptable.”
In this sentence:
傘
= not so important
→ still forgivable
かばん
= very important
→ not forgivable
That’s why we use まだしも.
Other Choices:
ぬきにして
= without ~ / excluding ~
〜はもとより
= not only ~ but also ~
〜ものなら
= if (something unlikely) were possible
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
