Introduction

This lesson will be on the shorter side, and probably on the easier side too, since you were already introduced to this grammar point in the previous lesson!

Introducing, (officially this time)...


かならずしも: (Un)certainly

構成こうせい

  • b

    かならずしも~(negative phrase)
    Example:
    かならずしも大学だいがくひとかしこいわけではない。
    "People who went to a good university are not guaranteed to be clever.”

You met かならずしも briefly in our last lesson, but let's make sure you get to know each other properly. Yes, it's fine that you didn't bring them a gift. (They didn't get you anything either.)
