CONJUGATION. The following is not an attempt at giving a complete or scientific conjugation of t^e Japanese verb;

this is long and complicated. We have only endeavoured to show the easiest way of forming those parts of the verb in most common use. This book is only intended for begianers; and we believe that the novice will derive more benefit from learning a short abstract of the verb such as given here, than by trying to remember all the forms of the full conjugation.

to Table I, the column 1 gives the terminatioii of the verbs as found in the Dictionary, As the bases of all verbs ending in e.ru and iru are in the same way, some have been distinguished by a decimal point (cru; i-ru): be careful to note whsther the verb has or has not tloia

Table IT shows what terminations are to be to which base they niust bi added.

added and

In order to conjugate any verb, first f&rm the bases as per Table I and then add to the proper base the termination shown in Table II. Take the verb yohu, for instance. According to the second line of Table I we shall have as bases 1 yohu, 2 yobi, 3 yond, 4 yoha, 5 yob, 6 yobd.

'Many tenses have in Japanese a simple form as yohu corresponding to the passing act and a com* pound foiTn (composed of the gerund and the auxiliary verb i'ru or oru) as yonde iru which corresponds to the contmued act. Thus yobu means I call, yonde iru I am calling. Yohu and yonde iru have the same meanings respectively as yohimasu. and yonda inuisv. but the latter arc more polite. In each case in which a distinction is to be made, the polite forms will be found at the end of the tense. In the imperative, the forms in kudasai are the only really polite ones. The othera savour more or less of a command and should be used only. to inferiors.

The

the

(

)

Besides the forms given of the probable past tense we may also obtain others by adding daro or desho to any form of the past tense. The gerund is often used for continuing sentences without the use of a conjunction. For instance : I bought a book hon wo kalmashiia; I bought a book and returned home hon wo katte uchi ni kacrimash'ita.

The conditional serves not only

to express a conoften used to indicate other relations especially that of time. The present or past of the verb followed by n'ara, the 1st form of the present followed by to^ and the gerund followed by U'a, are often about equivalent to a conditional. The desidorative form of the verb is equivalent to a true adjective and has the inflexions of one. For instance: I wish to call, yobitai; if you •wish to call, yobitakereba; I do not wish to call, yobitaku nai ; etc. See pp. 10, 20. It is well to remark that the second base of a verb is frequently used by itself, and in this case it is generally equivalent to a noun. It is called the stem and is met with frequently as the first component of a compound. dition,

VOICES OF VERBS. The Passive is formed by adding re'r\i to the 4th base. In verbs ending in e-ru or i'ru, add rareru to the same 4th base. E.g.: korosu to kill, koroaare-ru to bo killed; tahe-ru to eat, taberare-ru to be eaten. The subject of the Japanese passive is the person affected by the action of the verb ; herefore not necessarily the direct object. The use of the 1

The Causative voice is obtained by adding se-ru to tlie 4th base. In verbs ending in e-ru or i-ru, sasp'ru is added to the same 4th base. E.g.* kau to buy, hawase'ru to have bought (by somebody); koshirae-ru to make, koshiraesase'ru to have made; I shall liave a tal)le made lebdm wo koshiraesase-

The negative form of the verb aru to be, to have, must be earefuUy noticed and remembered.

Tl'.e Potential: The Passive does service as a Potential also. Besides this, most verbs (not those ending in e-ru or i-ru) have another form of potential obtained by adding e-ru to the 5th base. Passive, Potential and Causative verbs all end in e-ru ; they may be conjugated regularly.

TRANSITIVE AND INTRANSITIVE VERBS. In English it often happens that the same verb both transitive and intransitive: in Japanese such verbs have usually only the stem rn common. E.g. kowasu (trans.), koware'ru (intr.) to break. I broke the plate sara wo kowashimashUa; the plate broke is

sara ga kowaremashita.

COMPOUND VERBS. compound forms of the simple tenwhich we spoke above, the Japanese have a very large number of compound verbs: e.g. from noru to get on to, and kae'ru to change, we obtain nori-kacru, to change trains, carriages, etc. The first component is the 2nd base of the verb. Besides the

Tl'.e Potential: The Passive does service as a Potential also. Besides this, most verbs (not those ending in e-ru or i-ru) have another form of potential obtained by adding e-ru to the 5th base. Passive, Potential and Causative verbs all end in e-ru ; they may be conjugated regularly.

TRANSITIVE AND INTRANSITIVE VERBS. In English it often happens that the same verb both transitive and intransitive: in Japanese such verbs have usually only the stem rn common. E.g. kowasu (trans.), koware'ru (intr.) to break. I broke the plate sara wo kowashimashUa; the plate broke is

sara ga kowaremashita.

COMPOUND VERBS. compound forms of the simple tenwhich we spoke above, the Japanese have a very large number of compound verbs: e.g. from noru to get on to, and kae'ru to change, we obtain nori-kacru, to change trains, carriages, etc. The first component is the 2nd base of the verb. Besides the

verbs

Adjectives in Japanese, as in English, have no gender, number, nor case.

There are three principal classes of adjectives: true adjectives, adjectives in na and no, presents and pasts of verbs.

The adjective may be used

in four

ways:

as an attribute, in which case it is placed before the noun: e.g. high house takai uchi; kind man sh insets il na hito. 1)

2) as

a predicate in ordinary sentences: e.g. this

house is high kono vxhi tea takai : that man is kind ano hito ua shinselsu de ariynasu [desu]. The verb 'to be' need not be translated when followed by a true adjective.

sentences with the verb 3) as a predicate in polite gozaimasu: e.g. that tree is high ano ki wa iako gozaimasu ; that man is kind ano hito wa shinsetsU de gozaimaaH. has becorne high 4) as an adverb: e.g. that tree ano ki wa takaku narimashlta; that man behaved kindly ano hito wa shinsetsix ni ahita.

In cases a) and d) (page 23) you add me to the noun: e.g. the tiiird ho\iT aan-jikan-mc; the second night futaban-7ne.

In the case of nouns belonging to class b) you fidd me no to the auxiliary numeral. The order of the

words

is:

numeral, auxihary numeral, me no, noun;

the auxiliary numeral can always be replaced by ham. E.g. the sixth man roku-nin-me nohito, roku-

Honorifics are in constant use in Japanese. They largely take the place of personal and possessive pronouns of the second person: thus o tomodachi

the honorable friend, means, your friend.

The honorific particles are o and go; they are very frequently placed before nouns, and sometimes before adjectives. is

Besides this use of honorifics in verbs, which consists in distinguishing my act which is ordinary from your act, which is honorable, there are some polite forms of verbs and some special verba which are to be used when speaking to a superior, performs the irrespective of the person who action of the verb. The commonest example of this arp the forms of the verb ending in tnasa, etc: aruku [I walk, you walk, he walks] does when speaking to an inferior or a chum; but ariikiiyiasu. should be use when speaking to anybody to whom we owe respect. Likewise desu, dc.-^liita and d^sho By freare more polite than da, datta and daru. quently replacing the verb aru by gozaru, we can make our conversation still more markedly polite.

A certain class of Japanese words are called postpositions because they are always placed after the word or clause to which they belong. They correspond generally to English prepositions or conjunctions.

Wa

or ga are used after the subject of a sentence; after the accusative case and ni after the dative. Wa is also used after a word or phrase, placed at the beginning of a sentence, to which it is desired to draw special attention.

It is not possible to put every sentence in this Dictionary in both the familiar and polite forms. The reader must mrxke the changes which the circumstances may demand. It has become the custom always to use an honorific prefix before certain words, as o yu hot water; o cha tea; and in these cases the honorific means next to nothing. Indeed, in some instances, the honorific has become incorporated the word and has etitirely lost its meaning, as: onaka [honorable inside] the abdomen. :

POSTPOSITION.

Questions are expressed by putting ka after the verb. When there is already an interrogative word in the sentence, the final ka is not always necessary. Ikaga desu? or ikaga deau ka? are both correct.

The Japanese 'yes' or 'no' refers not to the objective fact nor to what you have said, but to what they think is in your mind. You may often hear things hke th-« Doko de katta no desu ka ? lie, jihun de koshiracla no desu. Where did you buy it ?
