This is the answer key to the test, with explanations where needed.

THE TEST:

はじめまして。わたしはきこです。わたしはじゅうごさいです。どうぞよろしく。

1. Who is speaking?

Kiko is speaking.

2. How old is the speaker?

15 years old.

3. Has this person ever met you before?

No - Hajimemashite is only used when meeting someone for the first time.

BONUS: Is the speaker male or female?

Female - Names ending in "ko" are typically female.

Translate the following:

a) doyoubi

Saturday

b) kayoubi

Tuesday

c) nichiyoubi

Sunday

d) suiyoubi

Wednesday

e) kinyoubi

Friday

f) mokuyoubi

In roumaji:

hajimemashite! Watashi wa Yuki desu. Chuugaku ni nen sei desu. jyuu san sai desu. Watashi no kazoku wa haha to chichi to ani to imouto desu. haha wa shufu desu, to chichi wa bangoshi desu. douzo yoroshiku.

1. Your teacher.

-sensei

2. A male calssmate that you are friendly with.

This is a trick question. You don't technically use an honorific on your mother - it's built into the word for mother.

-san

5. Someone who is much, much higher up in your company than you.

-sama

6. A person two grades above you.
