Question Word + V-ても
[edit | edit source]No matter (who/what/when/where/etc.) 例：
- タイタニックは何回見ても
感動 します。
No matter how many times I see Titanic, it moves me. - このスープは誰が飲んでみても、まずいです。
This soup is gross, no matter who tries it. - コミケットはいつ行っても、込んでいます。
No matter when you go to Comic Market, it's crowded. - どんなに頭のいい人でもこの
問題 は分かりにくいです。
No matter how smart someone is, this problem is hard to understand.
～まま
[edit | edit source]Do while leaving something in a certain state. While still ～.
| Verbs | (plain, , affirmative) + まま (plain, present, negative) + まま |
つけたまま* あけたまま* 消さないまま* 閉めないまま* |
| i-Adjectives | い + まま | 若いまま 赤いまま |
| na-Adjectives | な + まま | 便利なまま 元気なまま |
| Nouns | の + まま | 去年のまま このまま |
*Note that these verbs are transitive. This is a little confusing because in English, we say "I left window open when I left the house." and in Japanese it would be 窓を開けたまま出かけた which is "I left the window in the state of having opened it when I left the house."
例：
- 電灯をつけたまま寝てしまった。
I went to bed with the lights still on. - 電灯を消さないまま寝てしまった。
I went to bed without turning off the lights. (Same meaning as above example.) - このままにしておいて下さい。
