Shin Nihongo no Kiso I Chapter 1 Part 4 Page 7

This article is a combination of presenting about how to make a positive and negative answer based on the question which is given. It is slightly different with the previous article. In this article we are also asking for an agreement for the question that has the same answer with the other question or the other facts which is already known. Based on the following pattern, we can make a formal positive and negative answer based on the given question :

Positive Answer :

はい    +。。。+も+です。

We are using も which is literally means also. We can translate it into Yes, it is also … The replier gives an agreeable answer based on the other fact which has also the same context.

Negative Answer : いいえ +。。。+では ありません。

For an example we will be given the following questions below : Kanji              : ここから駅までも遠いですか Hiragana        : ここからえきまでもとおいですか。 Romaji           : Koko kara eki made tooi desuka. Meaning         : Is it far from here to the train station ? The first one is the positive answer shown as below : Kanji              : はい、ここから駅までも遠いです。 Hiragana         : はい、ここからえきまでもとおいです。 Romaji           : Hai, koko kara eki made mo tooi desu.

Meaning         : Yes, it is far also from here to the train station.

The answer has も or also which is given above. Because for some reasons, the speaker has already knew or has already asked that there are also a place which is far to reach beside the train station.

The second one is the negative answer shown as below : Kanji              : いいえ、ここから駅まで遠いではありません。 Hiragana         : いいえ、ここからえきまでとおいではありません。 Romaji           : Iie, koko kara eki made tooi dewa arimasen.

Meaning         : No, it is not far from here to the train station.
