Japanese verb forms: The biggest difficulty we Westerners have when learning Japanese is that it is a language different from Spanish or English or other Western languages.

But not all the news was going to be bad news for students, as Japanese has a very simple way of working with verbs.

Here are the basic rules that Japanese verbs follow, paying attention is very important:

– Japanese verbs do not have singular/plural conjugation or gender conjugation  such as masculine or feminine.

– Japanese verbs always come at the end of a sentence.

– There are only 2 basic verb tenses: past and present. The end of a future action is indicated by the verb in its present tense.

– There are only 2 irregular verbs and little irregularity in other verbs.

What verb forms exist in Japanese | What are the Japanese verb forms like?

In Japanese there are four basic verb forms which are the “Dictionary Form”,  the “Masu Form”,  the “Nai Form”, and the “Te Form”, with which most actions can be expressed.

In this article we will talk about the “Dictionary Form” and the “Masu Form”.

The Japanese Dictionary Form 辞書形 | What is the Japanese dictionary form like?

The dictionary form is the verb form found in a dictionary. You could say that it is similar to the “infinitive” in Spanish.

The dictionary form always ends in the vowel u. Let’s look at some examples:

買うかう    kau buy
開くあくakuopen
行くいくikugo
見るみる mirusee
The dictionary form in Japanese

What are the 3 Japanese verb groups |JLPT N5 Verb List

Japanese verbs are usually classified into three types: Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3.

The most common Japanese verbs in group 1 are:

Group 2 Japanese verbs ending in iru and eru

However, it should be noted that some of the verbs ending in these endings belong to group 1, they are exceptions. What does it mean that they are an “exception”? It means that despite ending in 〜いる or 〜える they are inflected as group 1 verbs:

For example:

  • 入る (はいる hairuenter
  • 走る (はしる hashirurun
  • 減る (へる herudecrease
  • 知る (しるshiruknow / know how

  • 蹴る (ける kerukick

Group 3: Here we find the “irregular” verbs, but there are only two verbs: 来る (くる kuru) come, する (する suru*) make.

  • In the case of “Suru ” it is usually part of two-word verbs such as 勉強する (benkyoo surustudy o 旅行する (ryokoo surutravel.

Dictionary Form Summary

– Normally verbs ending in -iru or -eru are group 2, as we saw there are exceptions that belong to group 1.
