[JLPT grammar] 私はつまらないです、is this sentence correct?
Today I am going to share the Q&A quoted from my JLPT N5 course!
[Student’s Question]
私はつまらないですから、映画を見ます。
I’m bored, so I’ll watch a movie.
Is this sentence correct?
*私(わたし)
映画(えいが)
見(み)ます
[My Reply]
You should use ひま instead of つまらない.
And also, you can omit 私.
・（私は）ひまですから、映画を見ます。
ひま：You have free time but nothing to do so you are bored.
つまらない：An activity is not interesting, and therefore you are bored.
私はつまらない sounds like “I am a boring person.”
◎その映画はつまらない
That movie is boring.
◎ひまだったので映画を見たけど、つまらなかった。
I had some free time so I watched the movie but it was boring.
I hope my answer helps you.😊
In the JLPT course, you can ask me any questions as much as you want.
I will teach you until you get it!
