[JLPT N4] Leftover salad: [のこった・たりた・すてた・うつした] + サラダ？

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

This one’s for upper beginners (JLPT N4)!

Can you choose the correct answer?





[Practice Question]


（＿＿）サラダはれいぞうこに入れておきます。

*（＿＿）サラダはれいぞうこにいれておきます。



1　のこった

2　たりた

3　すてた

4　うつした

[Answer]


（1 のこった）サラダはれいぞうこに入れておきます。

I’ll put the leftover salad in the fridge.ˆ





Let’s think:

What kind of salad are we putting in the fridge?

→ The salad that is left over after eating.

This is,

“のこった (残った) サラダ”

= leftover salad.



のこる

= to remain / to be left over



のこった ＋ サラダ

= Leftover salad (Salad that remained)





That is why のこった is the correct answer.







✖ Other choices:

たりた

“was enough”

→”Enough salad” sounds unnatural here.



すてた

“threw away”

→If you threw it away, you wouldn’t put it in the fridge!



うつした

“moved/copied”

→It does not fit the context well.





I hope this explanation helps! 😊
