adjective conjugation
there are 3 types of adjectives in japanese:
い-ending
な-ending
irregular ending
to find the stem of an adjective, just remove its ending.
い - adjectives
ex: ちいさい - small
present affirmative: dictionary form (ちいさい)
present negative: stem + くない (ちいさくない)
past affirmative: stem + かった (ちいさかった)
past negative: stem + くなかった (ちいさくなかった)
な - adjectives
ex: げんきな - healthy/energetic
present affirmative: stem (げんき)
present negative: stem + じゃない (げんきじゃない)
past affirmative: stem + だった (げんきだった)
past negative: stem + じゃなかった (げんきじゃなかった)
irregular adjectives
there is only one irregular adjective*, いい, meaning good.
present affirmative: dictionary form (いい)
present negative: よくない
past affirmative: よかった
past negative: よくなかった
*note: いい can act as a base for some adjectives, such as かっこいい (good-looking) and あたまがいい (smart). conjugate these as the irregular adjective.
**in order to make these formal, just add 〜です to the end of all of them (no need to conjugate it as the adjective will be conjugated instead)!

verb conjugation - short form
short forms have 4 uses:
casual conversation
quoting someone
making negative requests
preference for doing something
ru verbs
ex: たべる
present affirmative: dictionary form (たべる)
present negative: stem + ない (たべない)
past affirmative: て (て form) → た (たべた)
past negative: い (from short from present negative) → かった (たべなかった)
u verbs
there are some rules for u verb short forms
regular u-verbs
ex: つくる
present affirmative: dictionary form (つくる)
present negative: u → -anai (つくらない)
past affirmative: て (from て form) → た (つくった) / で → だ (as in, verbs in te forms ending in で rather than て)
past negative: い (from short form present negative) → かった (つくらなかった)
the exceptions to these conjugation patterns occurs in the short form present negative. u-verbs ending in う conjugate as u → wanai (うたう → うたわない).
the verb ある is also irregular in the short form. it conjugates as ない instead of あらない.
irregular verbs
する and くる are the 2 irregular verbs.
present affirmative: dictionary form
present negative: する → しない , くる → こない
past affirmative: して , きて
past negative:しなかった , こなかった

ている form
there are 2 primary reasons for using ている forms:
action in progress
enduring state of being
these have the same stem as regular て-form verbs, but use the helping verb いる to change the meaning. いる conjugates as a ru-verb:
present affirmative: います
present negative: いません
past affirmative: いました
past negative: いませんでした
action in progress (-ing verbs)
to say you are in the process of doing something, you would use ている form. for example:
たべます (I eat) vs. たべています (I am eating)
うたいます (I sing) vs. うたっています (I am singing)
およぎます (I swim) vs. およいでいます (I am swimming)
enduring state of being
this concept is a little tricky, but if you think of it like this it might help a little bit:
I did this, and as a result, I am now this.
this only works with certain verbs! some examples
けっこんする - to get married
けっこんしています - I am married (I got married, and as a result, I am now married)
しる - to get to know
しっています - I know [something/someone] (I got to know [something/someone], and as a result, I now know [...])
using these verbs in the long form conjugation will indicate a future action
hi, how are you, I started my 日本語の勉強 2 years ago (26th of January,2017), and I would like some basic vocabulary list, for example places, foods or even colors. I am entering N4/2nd Primary's kanjis and some vocab is really necessary here as I am only focusing in kanjis (because all the japanese games I love have a lot of kanjis) lol
hi! i’m also studying to take the jlpt soon and i was planning on making some lists for the vocab and kanji for each level! here are my food and color vocab lists i’ve already made though! 💕
in japanese, colors can either be adjectives or nouns. this is important as it determines how they modify objects! い - adjectives: くろ
ごはん ご飯 (go•ha•n) - meal あさごはん 朝ご飯 (a•sa•go•ha•n) - breakfast ひるごはん 昼
Hi! I was just wondering what is the yellow dude in your profile is called. (⌒_⌒;) I was searching and I couldn't find it. >_<
his name is pompompurin!! he’s a sanrio character!
verb conjugation - て form
て-form verbs are used to:
make polite requests
ask or give permission
forbidding something
describing two or more activites
there is no tense. when describing multiple activites (“I did this and that”, “I will do this and that”, etc.) the last verb is conjugated in the long form to indicate the tense of the sentence.
u-verbs
final う、つ、る becomes って
会う → 会って (あう → あって)
待つ → 待って(まつ → まって)
とる → とって (とる → とって)
final む、ぶ、ぬ becomes んで
読む → 読んで (よむ → よんで)
遊ぶ → 遊んで (あそぶ → あそんで)
死ぬ → 死んで (しぬ → しんで)
final く becomes いて
書く → 書いて (かく → かいて)
an exception to this rule is 行く becomes 行って (いく→ いって)
final ぐ becomes いで
泳ぐ → 泳いで (およぐ → およいで)
final す becomes して
話す → 話して (はなす → はなして)
ru-verbs
る becomes て
食べる → 食べて (たべる → たべて)
irregular verbs
する becomes して
くる becomes きて
〜てください = “Please do ....”
〜てもいいです = “You may do ....”
asking for permission to do something is 〜てもいいですか。
〜てはいけません = “You must not ....”
