Did not teach (polite) in Japanese 🇯🇵

おしえませんでした info.

– Tips to remember the Japanese word:
– "おしえませんでした" (oshie masen dea) can be broken down into "おしえる" (oshieru) which means "to teach" and "ませんでした" (masen dea) which is a polite past negative conjugation.
– Remember the root verb "おしえる" (oshieru), and then learn the negative polite past conjugation to recall the entire phrase.

– Explanations:
– "おしえる" (oshieru) is the base verb meaning "to teach".
– Adding "ません" (masen) turns it into a negative form, "おしえません" (oshiemasen) means "do not teach".
– "でした" (dea) is used for past tense. Combining it with "おしえません" forms "おしえませんでした" which means "did not teach" in the polite form.
