Japanese Verb Conjugations and Combinations JTMW (v.1.04)
0.06MB. 0 audio & 0 images. Updated 2015-01-18.
Description
This deck focuses on the more common conjugations of Japanese verbs and combinations of verbs with other types of words. Note that this is *not* a list of Japanese verbs.
Version 1.04 notes:
- Removed all "What is the Japanese translation of..." introductions to questions. Now every question that is entirely between quotation marks means that a translation is asked for.
- Added some honorific versions of verbs that I had somehow overlooked before.
- Fixed some of the few remaining typos.
Version 1.03 notes:
- Made a clearer disctinction between the varying degrees of probability of そう(だ), らしい, みたいだ and (の)よう(だ) since otherwise their direct translations were too similar to be useful for learning.
- Made some cards "single-sided", since going from answer to question wasn't viable in those cases.
Version 1.02 notes:
- corrected some errors, such as how to get the て-form;
- added colloquial contractions (simplified everyday ways to pronounce verb-endings that can be quite different from the way they are supposed to sound according to "official" grammar rules);
- added humble, honorific and formal versions of some of the most common verbs;
- added more short example phrases with various tenses to practice application of some of the grammar rules covered in this set;
- added some signal words (as I like to call them) and fixed expressions, since these can be so crucial for a proper understanding of what is being communicated (even though they are technically not conjugations or combinations of verbs).
The grammar points in this deck can also be found in the following Google Docs document, which can be used for quick look-up with Ctrl-F of verb-endings or contractions that may sound unfamiliar: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14LumKZtd8sInxkydlqDZmPRt97xcQwfWGsdWYOXGGQo/pub.
Most of the grammar points included here are based on Wayne P. Lammers' comprehensive grammar book "Japanese the Manga Way", but without using any of its example sentences or manga pictures, since they are copyrighted. Buying the book is warmly recommended!

| Exception/reverse question | What does this combination imply? |
| Hint or mnemonic | Which verb-ending is used to request an action? And which verb emphasizes movement towards (instead of away) from something? |

| Front | What are the passive forms of 来る, くる? |
| Back | PL2: こられるPL3: こられますBoth forms are identical to the causative form, so context will have to help in deciding which meaning is intended. |
