Question Word + V-ても No matter (who/what/when/where/etc.) 例： タイタニックは何回見ても感動(かんどう)します。No matter how many times I see Titanic, it moves me. このスープは誰が飲んでみても、まずいです。This soup is gross, no matter who tries it. コミケットはいつ行っても、込んでいます。No matter when you go to Comic Market, it's crowded. どんなに頭のいい人でもこの問題(もんだい)は分かりにくいです。No matter how smart someone is, this problem is hard to understand. ～まま Do while leaving something in a certain state. While still ～. Verbs (plain, , affirmative) + まま(plain, present, negative) + まま つけたまま*　あけたまま*消さないまま*　閉めないまま* i-Adjectives い + まま 若いまま　赤いまま na-Adjectives な + まま 便利なまま　元気なまま Nouns の + まま 去年のまま　このまま *Note that these verbs are transitive. This is a little confusing because in English, we say "I left window open when I left the house." and in Japanese it would be 窓を開けたまま出かけた which is "I left the window in the state of having opened it when I left the house." 例： 電灯をつけたまま寝てしまった。 I went to bed with the lights still on. 電灯を消さないまま寝てしまった。I went to bed without turning off the lights. (Same meaning as above example.) このままにしておいて下さい。Please leave it like you found it. (Leave it like it is now.) deep
