名詞修飾形パート２：名詞修飾形に関する質問と答え

皆さん、おはようございます。 先日、名詞修飾形に関する質問と答えを発表させていただきます。

While the poor but handsome Tao-san was eating a $1.50 Tao Sha Pia at Hanis which is beside the white colored National Library which is located at Middle Road of Bugis, Singapore, he met the pretty Licia-san who was eating a $1.50 Tao Sha Pia and currently studying Japanese at Chacha Language School.

Of course, there are many kinds of answers for the above question. I receive about 5 replies for this question, all of them either had some grammar mistakes or mistakes on particle. Now let's take a look at how to decipher this phrase.

Now let's do the nouns first

• The poor but handsome Tao-san: 貧乏ながらもハンサムなTaoさん — 「ながらも」 is a N2 grammar that means 「however」
• $1.50 Tao Sha Pia: 1ドル50セントのTao Sha Pia
• Hanis which is beside the white colored National Library which is located at Middle Road of Bugis, Singapore: シンガポールのBugisのMiddle Roadにある白い図書館の側のHanis
• Pretty Licia-san: きれいなLiciaさん
• Chacha Language School: チャチャランゲージスクール

Let's do the verbs now

• While ~ was eating: 食べながら
• Met: 会いました
• Was eating: 食べていて

Not an easy question to do, but good try to all. =) Learning 名詞修飾形 will come a long way — if you really know it well, it will really help you out in your JLPT exam. Have a Great Day ahead. =)
