What is the most common form of verb in Japanese language? |
Godan Verbs |
|
How many bases are there for Godan Verb? |
7 |
|
What are the seven base endings for Godan verbs? |
a, hi, u, e, ou, te and ta |
|
What is to speak in Japanese? |
hanasu |
|
What is base one "a" mean when added to a verb? |
Base 1 can not be used by itself but becomes the informal form negative simply by adding -nai. E.g. hanasanai |
|
What is base two "hi" mean when added to a verb? |
Base 2 is, in most cases, a noun when used by itself but is primarily used with the polite form of the verb. E.g. hanashi |
|
What is base three "u" mean when added to a verb? |
Base 3 is the main form (the one that would be found in the dictionary) and is also the plain form present/future tense. e.g. hanasu |
|
What is base four "e" mean when added to a verb? |
Base 4 is most often used as "if verb" by adding -ba. (ex. hanaseba - If he'd just say something.) It can also be used by itself as a command form but it is extremely rude and I recommend not using it at all. |
|
What is base five "ou" mean when added to a verb? |
Base 5 is used by itself as the "let's" form. (ex. hanasou - Let's talk.) We will get into other ways it's used in later lessons |
|
What is base "te" mean when added to a verb? |
Base "te" can be used by itself as a plain form command. It is not rude but should only be used with close friends and children. By adding kudasai it becomes the polite form command. Base "te" can also be used in other ways that we will get into in later lessons. e.g. hanashite |
|
What is base "ta" mean when added to a verb? |
Base "ta" is merely Base "te" with an "a" sound on the end instead of an "e" sound. It is mainly used by itself as the plain form past tense. (ex. hanashita - I talked.) We will get into other ways it's used in later lessons |
|
What happen with bases "ta" and "te" with the endings for all Godan verbs ending in (u), (tsu), or (ru)? |
(tte) in the "te" form and (tta) in the "ta" form. (e.g. katsu (to win) -> katte (Win!), katta (We won!) |
|
What happen with bases "ta" and "te" with the endings for all Godan verbin ending in (bu), (mu), or (nu)? |
(nde) in the "te" form and (nda) in the "ta" form. (ex. yomu (to read -> yonde (Read it.), yonda (I read it.)) |
|
What happen with bases "ta" and "te" with the endings for all Godan verbin ending in (ku)? |
(ite) in the "te" form and (ita) in the "ta" form. (e.g. aruku (to walk) -> aruite (Walk!), aruita (I walked here.)) The only exception to this rule is for the verb iku (to go) which becomes (itte/itta). |
|
What happen with bases "ta" and "te" with the endings for all Godan verbin ending in (gu)? |
(ide) in the "te" form and (ida) in the "ta" form. (e.g. oyogu (to swim) -> oyoide (Swim!), oyoida (I swam.)) |
