The Japanese language has two types of regular verbs that involve the stem, and can be referred to as Japanese consonant and vowel verbs. ==Verb groups== The two groups of verbs are: #consonant-stem, , Group I, or ''-u'' verbs; and #vowel-stem, , Group II, or ''-ru'' verbs. Most verbs are consonant-stem, but vowel-stem verbs are also common, hence the numbering "Group I" (consonant-stem, more common) and "Group II" (vowel-stem, less common). Sometimes categorization is expanded to include "Group III" (special cases) for the irregular verbs する ''suru'' and 来る ''kuru''; note however that there are other Japanese irregular verbs, though they are generally only slightly irregular. Consonant-stem verbs end in ''-u'' (''-au'', ''-iu'', ''-uu'', ''-ou''), ''-ku'', ''-gu'', ''-su'', ''-tsu'', ''-nu'', ''-bu'', ''-mu'' or ''-ru'', but not ''-eu'', ''-zu'', ''-dzu'', ''-fu'', ''-pu'', or the defective columns ''-yu'' or ''-wu.'' All vowel-stem verbs end in either ''-iru'' or ''-eru''. However, not all verbs ending in ''-iru'' or ''-eru'' are vowel-stem verbs; for example, ''hashiru'', "run", is a consonant-stem verb. Verbs ending in ''-aru,'' ''-uru'' and ''-oru'' also exist, and are all consonant-stem. The Japanese names ("5-class" and "1-class") are based on the number of vowel suffixes used to form verb roots for conjugations. Classical Japanese had more verb groups (such as 2-class and 4-class) which are archaic in Modern Japanese. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Japanese consonant and vowel verbs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
