Did not study in Japanese 🇯🇵

べんきょう しなかった info.

べんきょう しなかった (benkyou shinakatta)

Tips to Remember:
1. Break the phrase into two parts: "べんきょう" (benkyou) meaning "study" and "しなかった" (shinakatta) which is the past negative form of "する" (suru, to do).
2. Associate "べんきょう" with "ben" (like a pen which you use to study) and "kyou" (sounds like "Kyoto", a place where you can go to study Japanese culture).
3. しなかった (shinakatta) can be remembered as the negative past form of "する" (suru – to do). "しない" (shinai) is the present negative form, and changing "ない" (nai) to "なかった" (nakatta) makes it past negative.

Explanations:
– べんきょう (benkyou): This noun means "study" or "studying."
– しなかった (shinakatta): Past negative form of する (suru – to do). It translates to “did not do.”

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:
– べんきょう しませんでした (benkyou shimasen dea): More polite way to say “did not study.”
– べんきょう していなかった (benkyou einakatta): Emphasizes that the studying was not being done over a period of time.
