MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

10 sec • 1 pt

使う

use
make
create

Answer explanation

1. Use使う(つかう)/ tsukau

Meaning: To use something (a tool, method, word, object, etc.)

✅ Examples:

  • 日本語を使う
    Use Japanese.

  • パソコンを使います
    I use a computer.

💡 Explanation:

“使う” is for using something that already exists — tools, skills, systems, words, etc.
You don’t make it, you just use it.


2. Create作る(つくる)/ tsukuru, 創る(つくる)/ tsukuru

Both are read the same, but used differently!

a) 作る(作成する)

  • Used for making physical things, like food, tools, products.

✅ Examples:

  • ケーキを作る
    Make a cake.

  • レポートを 作成 (さくせい) する。
    Create a report.

b) 創る

  • Used more for artistic or creative works like music, stories, or inventions.

✅ Examples:

  • 音楽を創(つく)る。
    Create music.

  • アプリを創った
    Created an app.

💡 Explanation:

“作る” is general and commonly used. “創る” is for original creation or creative works.


3. Make → Also 作る(つくる)

Yes! In Japanese, “make” and “create” often share the same verb: 作る.
But here’s the nuance:

  • “Make” = more practical (food, products, daily things)

  • “Create” = more innovative or artistic (invention, poem, story)

✅ Examples:

  • 朝ごはんを作った
    I made breakfast.

  • 彼は小説を書いて、物語を創った
    He wrote a novel and created a story.
