こんにちは、ちか先生です。

Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.

 

Today, I’m sharing a practice question for JLPT prep.

This one’s for upper beginners (JLPT N4)!

Can you choose the correct answer?

 

 

[Practice Question]

 

会社に入って3年、仕事のおもしろさが(__)わかってきました。

*かいしゃにはいって3ねん、しごとのおもしろさが(__)わかってきました。

 

1 さっぱり

2 べつに

3 だんだん

4 あんまり

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Answer]

 

会社に入って3年、仕事のおもしろさが(3 だんだん)わかってきました。

After three years at this company, I’m gradually starting to see what is interesting about the job.

 

 

〜てきました

This ending shows a gradual change over time.

 

わかってきました

“I didn’t understand before, but little by little, I started to understand.”

 

だんだん

= gradually / little by little

 

We often use:

だんだん + change verb(〜てくる/〜ていく/〜なる etc.)

 

This sentence describes a change in understanding over 3 years,

so だんだん is the correct answer

 

 

✖︎Other Choices:

1 さっぱり(〜ない)

= not at all

 

2 べつに(〜ない)

= not particularly

 

4 あんまり(〜ない)

= not very / not so much

 

Options 1, 2, and 4 are usually used with a negative verb (〜ない).

This sentence is affirmative (わかってきました).

So だんだん is the only natural choice.

 

 

 

I hope this explanation helps! 😊
