Questions & Answers about reizouko ni mizu to kudamono ga arimasu.

What is 冷蔵庫 and how do you read it?
冷蔵庫 is read れいぞうこ (reizōko) and means “refrigerator” or “fridge.”
What does the particle indicate in this sentence?
marks the location of existence. Here, 冷蔵庫に means “in the refrigerator.”
Why is があります used instead of います?
Use あります with inanimate objects (like water and fruit). います is reserved for animate beings (people, animals, etc.).
Why do we use instead of before あります?
In existential sentences, marks the subject whose existence you’re stating. If you used (as in 冷蔵庫には…あります), you’d be making “the refrigerator” a topic and setting up a contrast or emphasis, not just stating existence.
How does function in 水と果物?
is the coordinating conjunction “and.” It links (“water”) and 果物 (“fruit”) into one compound subject.
Both and 果物 share the same —is that grammatically correct?
Yes. When you connect nouns with , you attach the particle ( here) only once to the entire list.
Can we say 冷蔵庫の中に instead of 冷蔵庫に?
Absolutely. 冷蔵庫の中に (“inside the refrigerator”) is more explicit. Native speakers often drop の中 when context makes “inside” obvious, but both are correct.
