This is a list of Japanese verb conjugations. Almost all of these are regular, but there are a few Japanese irregular verbs, and the conjugations of the very few irregular verbs are also listed. Japanese verb conjugation is the same for all subjects, first person ("I", "we"), second person ("you") and third person ("he/she/it" and "they"), singular and plural. The plain form of all verbs ends in ''u''. In modern Japanese, there are no verbs, at least in the plain form, ending in ''fu'', ''pu'', or ''yu'', no verbs ending in ''zu'' other than certain する forms (such as 禁ず ''kin-zu''), and 死ぬ (しぬ, ''shinu''; to die) is the only one ending in ''nu''. This article describes a set of conjugation rules widely used in order to teach Japanese as a foreign language. However, Japanese linguists have been proposing various grammatical theories for over a hundred years and there is still no consensus about the conjugations. Japanese people learn the more traditional "school grammar" in their schools, which explains the same grammatical phenomena in a different way with different terminology (see the corresponding Japanese article). ==Summary of verb conjugations== Verb conjugates are often grouped into (type I), (type II). The plain form of a type I verb has an ''u'' sound (''u'', ''tsu'', ''ru'', ''ku'', ''gu'', ''bu'', ''mu'', ''su''), the ''-masu'' form has an ''i'' sound (''i'', ''chi'', ''ri'', ''ki'', ''gi'', ''bi'', ''mi'', ''shi''), and the negative form has an ''a'' sound (''wa'', ''ta'', ''ra'', ''ka'', ''ga'', ''ba'', ''ma'', ''sa''). The potential form has an ''e'' sound (''e'', ''te'', ''re'', ''ke'', ''ge'', ''be'', ''me'', ''se'') and the volitional form has an ''ō'' sound (''ō'', ''tō'', ''rō'', ''kō'', ''gō'', ''bō'', ''mō'', ''sō''). |- | style="width:56%; vertical-align:top;" | | style="vertical-align:top;" | |} 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 verb conjugation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
