Questions & Answers about tsumetai juusu bakari nomu to, karada ga hierukoto ga arimasu.

Why are there spaces between the words?

Japanese is normally written without spaces.

So the standard writing would be:

冷たいジュースばかり飲むと、体が冷えることがあります。

The spaces here are just a learning aid to make the sentence parts easier to see.

Why is 冷たい used directly before ジュース without な?

Because 冷たい is an い-adjective.

• い-adjectives go directly before a noun
  
  • 冷たいジュース = cold juice
• な-adjectives need な before a noun
  
  • for example, 静かな部屋 = a quiet room

So 冷たいジュース is correct, and 冷たいなジュース would be wrong.

What does ばかり mean here?

Here, ばかり means something like:

• only
• nothing but
• mostly

So 冷たいジュースばかり飲む means that someone drinks only or mostly cold juice.

A small nuance:

• It can sound like a repeated habit
• It can also carry a feeling of too much of that one thing

So the sentence is not just describing a random one-time action. It suggests a pattern or habit.

Does 冷たいジュースばかり飲む mean you only drink cold juice, or that you drink cold juice too often?
