Became (polite) in Japanese 🇯🇵

なりました info.

Tips to Remember the Japanese Word:
– Break down the word: "なり" (nari) + "ました" (maa). "なり" comes from the verb なる (naru, to become), and "ました" is a polite past tense ending. This structure is common in Japanese, so recognizing this pattern will help in remembering it.
– Use mnemonic devices: Think of "na" as the start of "narrate" (telling a story about a change) and "maa" as "mashed" (a past tense word in English), creating a mental image like "narrate mashed" to signify becoming something in the past politely.

Explanations:
