JLPT3: Comparitives using ほど
| 日本語： | [A] は [B] ほど [adjective (negative tense)]。 |
| English: | A is not as adjective as B |
After yesterday's look at comparitives, we're staying on that theme tonight and looking at how to say that something does not have as much of some attribute as something else. As you can see above, the construct is pretty straightforward, but remember that the adjective used is in it negative form, so make sure you stick a ません or ない on there!
例文
| English: | This mustard is not a hot as that wasabi. |
| Jenglish: | [this mustard][that wasabi][hot + not] |
| 日本語： | このマスタードはその山葵ほど辛くないです。 |
| English: | The American version of The Ring is not a scary as the Japanese version. |
| Jenglish: | [American][version][The Ring][Japanese][version][scary + not] |
| 日本語： | アメリカン版の「リング」は日本版ほど怖くないです。 |
またね。。。
