Some learners of Japanese try to use assessments in order to show their involvement in conversations. However, they misuse assessments although they follow the explanations in their textbooks. This study examined the "Zannen desu ne" assessment which learners could use in contact situations with native speakers, based on the analysis of six criteria. We found three combinations between "the person feeling 'zannen"' and "situational territory of 'zannen."' We also found three restrictions in use of "Zannen desu ne": 1) types of former utterances, 2) relationship between speaker/listener and 3) the usage of the final particle ne.
