[JLPT N5]Describing the condition of a room: すずしい/みじかい/かるい/ぬるい?

 

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 beginners(JLPT N5)! Can you answer correctly?

 

 

[Practice Question]

 

このへやは(____)です。

1 すずしい
2 みじかい
3 かるい
4 ぬるい

 

 

 



 

 

 

[Answer]

 

このへやは(1 すずしい)です。

This room is cool.

 

 

すずしい is the only word that appropriately describes the condition of a room.

 

Explanation of Other Choices:

みじかい means “short.”
It is used to describe things like time or length, not a room.

 

かるい means “light” in terms of weight.

 

ぬるい means “lukewarm”, “not hot enough” or “not cold enough.”
It is usually used to describe the temperature of liquids, like tea, bathwater, or juice.
e.g.
お茶(ちゃ)がぬるい。

The tea is lukewarm.

ジュースがぬるい。

The juice is not cold enough.

 

 

I hope this explanation helps! 😊
