- A List of Uses For The te-form
How do you go from the short, choppy sentences found in your first-year Japanese textbook to longer, more complex statements? If I had to name the single element of Japanese grammar that is most important to moving past the beginner level, it would have to be the te-form. Functioning somewhat like grammatical glue that holds everything together, th...
There is a lot to go over with the te-form, so this article is broken into two parts: 1. Part I: How to conjugate verbs, adjectives, and noun into the te-form and it’s common uses. 2. Part II: How to use the te-form naturally- Example sentences and detailed explanations of the many uses of te.
As you can imagine, the te-form can be a bit complicated to sort out because of all of its different uses, but don’t worry! It doesn’t take that long to master since there are only a few conjugation rules to master. In this section, we’ll show you how to conjugate verbs, adjectives, and nouns into the te-form.
First, the good news: when using the polite –masu form, all verbs simply change to –mashite in their te-form conjugations. Easy, right? Unfortunately, in the plain form, things get a bit more complicated. Japanese has two main verb categories, often called “Group/Class 1” and “Group/Class 2,” as well as a smaller third set of irregular verbs. The f...
The last three verbs on the list, kaeru, wakaru, and toru are Class 1 verbs even though they end in –ru. Unfortunately, as is also the case with adjectives, these cases do not follow a strict rule, so you just have to do your best to remember the Class 1 verbs that end in –ru sounds so that you can conjugate them correctly.
*Note: The verb, あげる (ageru) has many meanings. It is usually written with kanji (上げる) when it’s used with the meaning “to raise or increase” something. However, it is usually written in hiragana (あげる) when using it with the meaning of “to give.” Example 1: 給料を上げる。(Kyūryō o ageru.): To increase salary. Example 2: お金をあげる。 (Okane o ageru.): I’ll give...
Though most of our focus in this article is on conjugating verbs, you can also conjugate adjectives using te-form. Adjectives also come in two types, called i-adjectives and na-adjectives, though some na-adjectives end in “i” sounds, which can make the two hard to distinguish in those cases. I have deliberately included a few of these confusing adj...
Na-Adjectives
Na-Adjectives conjugate through the use of the copula だ (da). The te-form of だ is で (de). So for na-adjectives, all you need to do is remove the な (na) at the end and replace it with で(de): 1. 綺麗な(kirei na): pretty, clean –> 綺麗で (kirei de) 2. 元気な(genki na): lively, energetic –> 元気で(genki de) 3. 静かな(shizuka na): quiet –> 静かで(shizuka de) Here are a few more examples:
Again, note the last few examples of na-adjectives, which end in “i” sounds but conjugate differently than i-adjectives. Unfortunately, there is no hard rule for determining the difference between the two, so you will just need to memorize the na-adjectives that carry this irregularity in their conjugation.
Here’s a quick overview of how and when the te-form is most commonly used. In this section, we will forego detailed explanations in favor of simple, real-world examples. We want to dive in head first, because you have probably already learned to put together some of the following types of phrases, and might be using the te-form already without know...
What does 「て」 mean in 「読んでて」 (te-form + て)? (1 answer) Closed 5 years ago. I often have heard my japanese colleagues a double て used. example, kuruma nottete, ushiro mitete, genba ittete. what i know is single te is command but what does double te mean? does it make more stress or what? yoroshiku onegai itashimasu.
Jun 19, 2015 · In Japanese, the word for ‘hand’ is written as 手 and pronounced close to the English “te” sound from “tell”. In this post I’ll talk about a few words that use this character, plus other meanings of it. To start with, in baby-speak the word “お手手” (otete) is often used to mean “hand”.
Apr 6, 2017 · Note: When the verb already has a meaning of “to leave” or “to let someone do ~” or a causative meaning, you don’t have to use the causative form. Just use verb te-form + て おく ( = teoku). Ex. そっとして おいて ください。 = Sotto shiteoite kudasai. = Please leave me alone. Ex. 私のことはもうほっ といて *
