About situation 1.
カオリ:そう?結構美味しいじゃん。”You think so? Quite tasty (I think), isn’t it?”
Could カオリ also have said:-
カオリ:ほんと?結構美味しいじゃん。As in ” Really? Quite tasty (I think), isn’t it?”
Thanks, Stephen.
She could say so if she wants to express surprise or something unexpected, like “Seriously?!”
ほんと is usually used to check if something is true or if the other person really means what they’re saying.
Thanks
You’re welcome! Keep up the good work! 🙂
I see now you can turn off the Furigana
After this one lesson most people would not be ready for the level 1 quiz as the lesson didn’t explain the characters it only showed translation that didn’t show what word was what (without indication of grammar) and Romaji.
Feel free to skip the quizzes if you feel like you are not ready yet. Quizzes are actually optional. This course isn’t for complete beginners, so that’s why we don’t explain all the basics in detail. Having said that, all of our words have definitions built in, so we can still benefit from this course if you are relatively a beginner.
