The biggest problem I have with studying Japanes is understanding normal conversation. I’m so happy that you provided three ways to say this (formal, less formal, informal).

In this case, 'sekai ichi no' means 'the best in the world', and you just attach a noun after it. Another common use of this is to say the best in a certain country, for example, 'nihon ichi no senshu’, which means 'the best athlete in Japan'. ravijojla, you can add ‘ichi’ after certain words to express the concept of ‘the best… of/in…’, so your example could be something like:

According to the dictitionary, じゃないです sounds more strong expression than じゃありません. My imression is also that じゃありません sounds more polite. 2. 飲まない is a negative form of verb and is still verb. But, ない of 飲んでない is an auxiliary adjective. When ない is attached to adjectives or te-form of verb or copula, it is an auxiliary adjective, as in 大きくない, 静かではない or 泣いてない. Sasquatchua-san,

The calorie would be 300~400 kcal, if it is very simple udon.
If you have udon with tempra on it, it would be very high cal.

Where does じゃありません fit in with regards to politeness, appropriateness of usage, etc. vs. じゃないです? 2. Is it true that the plain negative of the copula is an い adjective? I always assumed it was still a verb... does that mean the plain negative of other verbs such as 飲まない are also no longer verbs? Or is the copula not actually a verb at all, in which case I should forget about comparing its conjugations with class I and class II verbs? I also wanted to mention that in today's lesson Rebeccahーさん used "revise" for the second time when introducing the vocab or grammar. In American English, "revise" exclusively means to review something with the intent of modifying it, but apparently British English (and I guess Australian English by extension?) has a meaning of pure review for the purposes of educational study. 勉強になりました！ Best うどん for sure was at an 温泉 near 岸和田 outside 大阪。 However, I actually have a grammar question… in today’s lesson じゃない was listed as the plain negative of the copula.
