JLPT N3 Vocabulary: Japanese Idioms and Idiomatic Expressions

Spend just a few minutes every day practicing and learning Japanese, and you can master the JLPT N3 grammar, vocabulary, and Kanji. Try a new intermediate Japanese quiz at Nihongo-Pro every day to check on your study progress, and keep up your motivation to learn Japanese!

Idiomatic expressions are the focus of this free Nihongo quiz. An idiom is an expression with a figurative, not literal, meaning—for example, "my hands are tied" means (figuratively) that you cannot help the situation. Japanese has many of these idiomatic expressions.

The JLPT test usually has a few questions involving Japanese idioms, and, of course, idiomatic expressions pop up in everyday Japanese conversation. Memorizing Japanese idioms will help make your Japanese conversation smooth and natural (and impress your Japanese friends!).
