Jepun Moden

Bahagian ini hanya berkaitan dengan bahasa Jepun seperti yang ditulis dan dituturkan pada abad ke-21 dan akhir abad ke-20, dengan menggunakan istilah dan analisis dari tatabahasa tradisional (yang dibangunkan oleh Shinkichi Hashimoto dan juga dikenali sebagai 学(がっ)校(こう)-文(ぶん)法(ぽう) (gakkō-bunpō, “sekolah tatabahasa”)). Terma dan analisis alternatif adalah mungkin, dan telah digunakan secara meluas dalam buku teks yang mensasarkan penutur bukan asli. Jadual berikut membandingkan bentuk dan kelas konjugasi dalam tatabahasa tradisional dan kesetaraan mereka dalam tatabahasa alternatif:

tou 問う	tow-								touta, toute とうた, とうて	For the two verbs 問う tou “to ask” and 請う kou “to ask, to beg”

Notes

1. For volitional forms such as kakoo, some versions of the katsuyōkei system list the kako- part as an alternative 未然形 mizenkei, and some list it as a seventh katsuyōkei form. The -oo ending is spelt in historical kana orthography (歴史的仮名遣い) as -au (e.g. yasumoo as やすまう), reflecting its historical derivation.
2. Historically, the -w ending for all such verbs was originally a -p, hence the historical kana spelling (歴史的仮名遣い) for, say, いう is いふ, with the six katsuyōkei forms いは, いひ, いふ, いふ, いへ, いへ.

In traditional Japanese grammar, the final consonant of the base is analysed as part of the 語尾 gobi “ending”. Hence, a verb such as 休む yasum-u is segmented as (語幹 gokan “stem”) yasu- + (語尾 gobi “ending”) -mu, with the -mu becoming -ma, -mi, -mu, -mu, -me, -me for the six katsuyōkei forms. The volitional form is segmented as yasu-mo-o, with the -mo- being the ending and the final -o (spelt う) a 助動詞 jodōshi “auxiliary”. Since the kana used to write the endings (Ca, Ci, Cu, Cu, Ce, and Ce, plus the Co for the volitional, for a verb ending in -C) span all five 段 dan “rows, or grades” of the 五十音図 gojūonzu “fifty sound table”, the class is called 五段 godan “five-grade”, and because they are on the same column, a verb whose base ends in -C is said to conjugate according to Ca行五段活用 Ca-gyō godan katsuyō “five-grade conjugation on the Ca column” For example, 休む yasumu has マ行五段活用 ma-gyō godan katsuyō “five-grade conjugation on the ma- column”. 五段 godan “five-grade” conjugation was originally 四段 yodan “quadrigrade”, because the 語尾 gobi “ending” of the volitional was spelt as Ca in historical kana spelling (歴史的仮名遣い), not the current Co.

Upper monograde (上一段 kami ichidan)

To this class belongs to verbs whose base ends in -i. The dictionary form adds -ru to the base. The conjugation is as follows:

Dictionary form	Base	未然形 mizenkei	連用形 ren'yōkei	終止形 shūshikei	連体形 rentaikei	仮定形 kateikei	命令形 meireikei1
miru 見る	mi-	mi- み	mi み	miru みる	miru みる	mire- みれ	miro, miyo みろ, みよ

Notes

1. -ro is the spoken imperative and -yo is the written imperative.

In traditional Japanese grammar, the final syllable of the base is analysed as part of the 語尾 gobi “ending”. Hence a verb such as 起きる oki-ru is segmented as (語幹 gokan “stem”) o- + (語尾 gobi “ending”) -kiru, with the -kiru becoming -ki, -ki, -kiru, -kiru, -kire, -kiro/-kiyo for the six katsuyōkei forms. (Verbs with a one-syllable base such as 見る miru conjugates in the same way as endings.) A verb whose base ends in -Ci is said to conjugate according to Ca行上一段活用 Ca-gyō kami ichidan katsuyō “upper monograde conjugation on the Ca column” because the endings begin with the kana Ci, which is on the Ca column and i row (upper row). For example, 起きる okiru has カ行上一段活用 ka-gyō kami ichidan katsuyō “upper monograde conjugation on the ka column”.

Lower monograde (下一段 shimo ichidan)

To this class belongs to verbs whose base ends in -e. The dictionary form adds -ru to the base. The conjugation is as follows:

Dictionary form	Base	未然形 mizenkei	連用形 ren'yōkei	終止形 shūshikei	連体形 rentaikei	仮定形 kateikei	命令形 meireikei1
deru 出る	de-	de- で	de で	deru でる	deru でる	dere- でれ	dero, deyo でろ, でよ

Notes

1. -ro is the spoken imperative and -yo is the written imperative. The verb くれる kureru “to give” has an irregular imperative form くれ kure.

In traditional Japanese grammar, the final syllable of the base is analysed as part of the 語尾 gobi “ending”. Hence a verb such as 食べる tabe-ru is segmented as (語幹 gokan “stem”) ta- + (語尾 gobi “ending”) -beru, with the -beru becoming -be, -be, -beru, -beru, -bere, -bero/-beyo for the six katsuyōkei forms. (Verbs with a one-syllable base such as 出る deru conjugates in the same way as endings.) A verb whose base ends in -Ce is said to conjugate according to Ca行下一段活用 Ca-gyō shimo ichidan katsuyō lower monograde conjugation on the Ca column” because the endings begin with the kana Ce, which is on the Ca column and e row (lower row). For example, 食べる taberu has バ行下一段活用 ba-gyō shimo ichidan katsuyō lower monograde conjugation on the ba column”.

k-irregular (カ行変格 ka-gyō henkaku)

This class has only one verb, 来る kuru “to come”.

Dictionary form	未然形 mizenkei	連用形 ren'yōkei	終止形 shūshikei	連体形 rentaikei	仮定形 kateikei	命令形 meireikei
kuru 来る	ko- こ	ki き	kuru くる	kuru くる	kure- くれ	koi こい

s-irregular (サ行変格 sa-gyō henkaku)

This class has only one verb, する suru “to do”, which conjugates as follows:

Verb and context	未然形 mizenkei1				連用形 ren'yōkei	終止形 shūshikei	連体形 rentaikei	仮定形 kateikei	命令形 meireikei2
	passive ～(ら)れる	causative ～(さ)せる	negative ～ない	volitional ～(よ)う
する suru, noun + する suru	sareru される	saseru させる	shinai しない	shiyō しよう	shi し	suru する	suru する	sure すれ	seyo, shiro せよ, しろ
single kanji ending in /Q/ + する suru e.g. 達する tassuru	serareru, shirareru せられる, しられる	shisaseru しさせる	shinai しない	shiyō しよう	shi し	suru する	suru する	sure すれ	seyo, shiro せよ, しろ
single kanji ending in /n/ or /ŋ/ + ずる zuru e.g. 論ずる ronzuru	jirareru, zerareru じられる, ぜられる	jisaseru じさせる	jinai じない	jiyō じよう	ji じ	zuru, jiru ずる, じる	zuru, jiru ずる, じる	zure, jire ずれ, じれ	zeyo, jiro ぜよ, じろ
single kanji ending in i or ku + する suru e.g. 愛する aisuru	sareru される	saseru させる	sanai, shinai さない, しない	shiyō, sō しよう, そう	shi し	suru, su する, す	suru, su する, す	sure, se すれ, せ	seyo, shiro, se せよ, しろ, せ

Notes

1. When used with older auxiliaries such as the negative ぬ -nu, the older mizenkei, se- (ze- for zuru) is used.
2. -ro is the spoken imperative and -yo is the written imperative.

Inflected forms

In traditional Japanese grammar, verbs have the six basic forms called 活用形 katsuyōkei listed below, from which most of their inflected forms can be derived.

活用形 katsuyōkei	Stem?	Inflected form?
m	Yes	No
m	Yes	Yes
m	No	Yes
m	No	Yes
m	Yes	No
m	No	Yes

Notes: 未然形 mizenkei “irrealis” is named after its use with -ba in Classical Japanese: kakaba “if one writes”, in contrast with the realis kakeba “as, when, because one writes”. It is a stem used to form the negative, passive, causative, and the volitional. 連用形 ren'yōkei is named in reference to its use followed by 用言 yōgen “inflecting words”. It is the infinitive as an inflected form, and also a stem used to form some inflected forms as well as compound verbs. 終止形 shūshikei is the conclusive, and is also the “plain” or “dictionary form” in which verbs are generally cited. 連体形 rentaikei is named in reference to its use followed by 体言 taigen “non-inflecting words”. It is the adnominal, also used to conclude a clause modifying a noun. In modern Japanese the shūshikei has the same shape as the rentaikei, but in Classical Japanese it usually does not. 仮定形 kateikei “hypothetical” is a stem only used with -ba to form the provisional conditional. 命令形 meireikei is the imperative.

Basic inflected forms

Here are the first set of inflected forms commonly taught in textbooks.

Plain forms

Form	Conjugation	kaku 書く (base kak-)	miru 見る (base mi-)
Nonpast	shūshikei / rentaikei	kaku かく	miru みる
Past	ren'yōkei + -ta (with sound changes for five-grade verbs)	kaita かいた	mita みた
Negative nonpast	mizenkei + -nai	kakanai かかない	minai みない
Negative past	mizenkei + -nakatta	kakanakatta かかなかった	minakatta みなかった

Polite forms

Form	Conjugation	kaku 書く (base kak-)	miru 見る (base mi-)
Nonpast	ren'yōkei + -masu	kakimasu かきます	mimasu みます
Past	ren'yōkei + -mashita	kakimashita かきました	mimashita みました
Negative nonpast	ren'yōkei + -masen	kakimasen かきません	mimasen みません
Negative past	ren'yōkei + -masen deshita	kakimasen deshita かきませんでした	kakimasen deshita みませんでした

Note: The verb aru ある “to be, to exist” does not have the negative formed in this way. The plain negative is the adjective nai ない “nonexistent, not be”, and the polite negative is nai desu ないです or arimasen ありません.

All these forms can occur in the predicate position of a sentence (i.e. at the end).

― ― Alice drinks coffee every day.

― ― I don't know Alice's telephone number.

― ― Friends came to my house yesterday.

― ― You didn't work in the last week?

The plain forms can also be used to modify a noun, or in the predicate position of a clause modifying a noun, when occurring before it:

― ― the plane that I'll take tomorrow (lit. the-tomorrow-taken-by-me plane.)

― ― a couple who have no child (lit. the children-lacking couple.)

― ― the computer that Tom bought yesterday (lit. the yesterday-bought-by-Tom computer.)

― ― words that didn't enter the top 10 (lit. the non-entered-to-top-10 words.)

Infinitive

The infinitive (= ren'yōkei), apart from deriving nouns or used in the construction of compound verbs, can be used for the non-final predicates when linking several predicates together in a sentence.

― ― you sing; I dance

This is called 連用中止 ren'yō chūshi and it is mainly used in written language. The non-final predicates do not conjugate for tense or politeness. Iru いる “to be” in these positions are usually replaced by its humble form oru おる and put in ren'yōkei as ori おり.

Another use of the infinitive is in the grammar pattern verb/clause + ni + motion verb.

― ― I came to play

― ― I will go to fetch my luggage this afternoon.

Certain kinds of compound verbs are produced by attaching a word to the continuative form of a verb; for example: m, m, m. Other constructions include m, m, m (used only between friends or to someone of a lower rank), m.

Conjunctive form with て

The conjunctive or te form is spinoff of the continuative form by attaching the particle m to it. For godan (five-grade) verbs, the same kinds of sound changes with ～た applies. The particle m can be used to link several predicates together, as illustrated below:

― ― Alice returns home and watches TV every night.

― ― I went to library and studied yesterday.

When used at the end of a sentence it makes a light command:

― ― Help!

― ― Take it easy!

More often, this form is part of certain kinds of expressions: m (after doing something), m (it's OK to do something), m (it's not ok to do something), m (please do something), m (to be doing something), m (to be in the state of ...), m (to be always doing something), m (to do something to others), m (to do something for me), m (to receive the favor of doing something), m (to do something in preparation), m (to do something completely or accidentally), m (to try doing something), etc. When followed by motion verbs like m and m as a set expression, the basic meaning is to do something towards a direction (e.g. m is "return", m is "go back", while m is "come back"), and the notion of the direction can be abstract (towards the future, up to the present, come to the state, etc.)

Imperative form

The imperative form (命令形) is often irregular in honorific speech; in other cases it can be rude in everyday conversation except when quoted or used in m-clauses. It is conjugated:

• godan verbs: change the -u to -e. For example, m becomes m.
• ichidan verbs: change the -ru to -ro. For example, m becomes m.
• irregular verbs: kuru becomes koi, suru becomes shiro.

Volitional form

The volitional form carries the meaning of "let's do something". It has the same meaning when used alone and means "try to do" when followed by m. It also means "I want to do something", but a less direct way to say this is to follow it by m. The conjugation is:

• godan verbs: change the -u to -ō. For example, m becomes m.
• ichidan verbs: change the -ru to -yō. For example, m becomes m.
• irregular verbs: kuru becomes koyō, suru becomes shiyō.

Hypothetical conditional form

One of way to say "if" is to attach ば to the 仮定形 of a verb, which is formed by changing the final vowel u (whether in -u, -ru, kuru, suru) to an e. "AばB" implies that A is a condition for B to happen.

Potential form

• godan verbs: change the -u to -eru. For example, m becomes m.
• ichidan verbs: change the -ru to -rareru. For example, m becomes m.
• irregular verbs: kuru becomes korareru, suru becomes dekiru.

Sometimes the ra can be left out (a practice called ら抜き言葉). The result can be further conjugated like an ichidan verb; for example, 信じられない (unbelievable).

Causative form

• godan verbs: change the -u to -a (but -wa if it has no consonant) and attach seru. For example, m becomes m.
• ichidan verbs: change the -ru to -saseru. For example, m becomes m.
• irregular verbs: kuru becomes kosaseru, suru becomes saseru.

The result can be further conjugated like an ichidan verb. Sometimes the せる is abbreviated as a single す and conjugates as godan verbs. The object is usually introduced with m, but when there is another object with m (such as "A made B sing a song"), m is used instead.

Passive form

• godan verbs: change the -u to -a (but -wa if it has no consonant) and attach reru. For example, m becomes m.
• ichidan verbs: change the -ru to -rareru. For example, m becomes m.
• irregular verbs: kuru becomes korareru, suru becomes sareru.

The result can be further conjugated like an ichidan verb. Aside from the passive voice (where the performer of the verb is introduced with m or m), the form is also used to show politeness in which case the sentence structure does not change. In casual speech, the せる can be abbreviated as a single す and conjugates as godan verbs. The passive form is sometimes used for a victimhood state, for example, 兎に逃げられた is not "was run away by the rabbit", but "rabbit ran away, resulting in loss".

Irregular conjugation related to polite speech

• The imperative form of m is くれ.
• The imperative form of some godan verbs have the ru replaced with i:

Verb	Imperative form
くださる	ください
なさる	なさい
いらっしゃる	いらっしゃい
おっしゃる	おっしゃい

はがきを５枚(ごまい)ください。

Hagaki o gomai kudasai.

Please give me five postcards.

The i-ending imperative forms may be followed by mase:

いらっしゃいませ！

Irasshaimase!

Welcome!

• Similarly, ございます comes from ござる, which is a polite form of ある.

Transitivity

Japanese verbs often come in transitive and intransitive pairs, called m and m in Japanese respectively. Intransitive verbs usually take only a subject marked with m or m, while transitive verbs can also take an object marked with m.

― ― The teacher starts the class.

― ― The class starts.

A motion verb can also be used with m even though it is intransitive in Japanese.

― ― to cross the bridge

When the transitive verb used with m to express desire, or in the potential form, the object is usually marked with m, but m is also OK.

― ― I want to drink water.

Passive forms m usually become intransitive and causative forms m usually become transitive. m forms usually become intransitive.

― ― The window is opened.

Stem forms

These are the basic forms of verbs as taught in Japan. Verbs have six associated stem forms; three of these each appear in two different ways that are not given separate names, but are used in disjoint contexts. The izenkei (已然形, classical perfective form) is also called the kateikei (仮定形, hypothetical form in modern Japanese). The shūshikei (終止形, terminal form) and rentaikei (連体形, attributive form) are identical for verbs in modern Japanese.
