    The explanation of ใชใ‚‰ is below. In this conversation, โ€œ2) a limitationโ€ version was used.

    You can use ใชใ‚‰ to make 1) a contrast or 2) a limitation.
    1) ใชใ‚‰ introduces a sentence that says something positive about the item that is contrasted.

    Q: Do you want to go to Alaska?
    A: If itโ€™s Florida instead of Alaska, Iโ€™d love to go. Alaska is too cold.
    Q: ไธƒ้ข้ณฅ(Turkey)ใ‚’้ฃŸในใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ใ‹๏ผŸ
    A: ้ถ่‚‰(Chicken)ใชใ‚‰้ฃŸในใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ใŒใ€ไธƒ้ข้ณฅใฏ้ฃŸในใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ใ€‚
    Have you had turkey before?
    I had chicken before, but I havenโ€™t had turkey.

    *N+ใชใ‚‰ sentences contrast between two items. The noun with ใชใ‚‰ has a positive connotation and forms a contrast with the original item. ใชใ‚‰ clauses give an idea about what you think rather than just saying yes or no.

    2) When the question asks you about broad thing, you can use N+ใชใ‚‰ to talk about specific things instead of vague topics.
    Q: ๆ—ฅๆœฌๆ–™็†ใ‚’ไฝœใ‚Œใพใ™ใ‹๏ผŸ
    A: ใ†ใฉใ‚“ใชใ‚‰ไฝœใ‚Œใพใ™ใ€‚
    Q: Can you cook Japanese food?
    A: I can cook udon (but not all Japanese food).
    Q: ๅค–ๅ›ฝใซ่กŒใฃใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ใ‹๏ผŸ
    A: ไธญๅ›ฝใชใ‚‰่กŒใฃใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ใ€‚
    Q: Have you been abroad?
    A: I have been to China (but not other countries).

    ใ‚ˆใ‚Š is used when you want to compare two things and prefer one of them. Also ใ‚ˆใ‚Š usually goes with ใฎๆ–นใŒ.

    EX:
    ็งใฏๅฏฟๅธใ‚ˆใ‚Š็„ผใ่‚‰ใฎๆ–นใŒๅฅฝใใงใ™ใ€‚
    I like Yakiniku over Sushi.

    Number IX was a bad question. I forgot to add ่กŒใฃใฆ in front of the number. I fixed it now. I’m sorry about that.
    You made 4 (including number IX) mistakes. Your mistake on number III is a common mistake among Japanese learners. ใฉใ‚Œใฎๅ›ฝ is not a word. ใฉใ‚Œ doesn’t go with ใฎ. The answer should be either ใฉใฎๅ›ฝ, ใฉใ“ใฎๅ›ฝ, or ใฉใ“.
    As for number IV, a hint is in the earlier conversation. Yoshikawa-san said he/she watched a foreign drama and that inspired him/her. You can assume he/she learned about Italy through the TV shows. Therefore, the answer should be a past tense ๅญฆใ‚“ใ .

    The correct answers are here:
