Tips to remember the Japanese word:
To remember "そうしませんでした" (sōshimasen dea), break it into parts:
– "そう" (sō): This can mean "so" or "that way."
– "しません" (shimasen): This is the negative form of "する" (suru), which means "to do."
– "でした" (dea): This is the past tense of "です" (desu), which is used for politeness.

So, put together, it means "did not do so/that way" in a polite form.

Explanations:
"そうしませんでした" (sōshimasen dea) is the polite past negative form of "そうする" (sō suru), which means "to do so/that way."
– "そう" (sō): so, that way
– "する" (suru): to do
– "しません" (shimasen): polite negative present form of "する"
– "でした" (dea): polite past tense form

Other words that mean the same thing:
– そうしなかった (sō shinakatta): This is a less formal way to say "did not do so/that way."
– やりませんでした (yarimasen dea): Another polite way to say "did not do" using "やる" (yaru), which is another word for "to do."
