[JLPT N2] “Regardless of ~”: 〜を＋[問(と)えば・問わず・問うと・問えず]？

Today, I’m sharing a practice question for JLPT prep.

This one’s for pre-advanced learners (JLPT N2)!

Can you choose the correct answer?





[Practice Question]


男女を(＿＿)だれでも参加できます。

*だんじょを(＿＿)だれでも さんかできます。



1 問えば (とえば)

2 問わず (とわず)

3 問うと (とうと)

4 問えず (とえず)

[Answer]


男女を (2 問わず) だれでも参加できます。

Anyone can join, regardless of gender.





〜を問わず

= “regardless of ~” or “without regard to ~”.

This phrase means: it doesn’t matter, no need to consider this factor.



Structure:

noun + を問わず



男女

= gender (noun)



→ 男女を問わず

= “regardless of gender”





So, 問わず is the best choice.





✖ Other Choices:

1. 問えば

This is the conditional form (“if you ask”).



3. 問うと

This means “when you ask” or “if you ask”.



4. 問えず

This is the negative potential form (“cannot ask”).





I hope this explanation helps! 😊
