You Can Learn the ENTIRE Irregular Verb Group… RIGHT NOW

Sound hard? Impossible, even? Well that’s funny, considering that this category is only made up of two verbs!

する to do

くる to come

Now, these verbs are oftentimes attached to the ends of nouns to create even more verbs. It’s like simple addition but with meanings.

掃除(そうじ)is the noun cleaning

掃除する is “to clean” (ie. do cleaning)

If it helps you to grasp the concept, you can imagine the direct object particle を in between the noun and する. を would be tagging the noun as the direct object that you are performing the action (in this case, “do”) to.

掃除をする = to do cleaning.

掃除する = to clean

These verbs are conjugated how you would conjugate する. There are tons of these verbs. That means, if you already know a lot of nouns, you may actually know tons of する verbs without even realizing it!

The concept with くる verbs is similar, and they are also conjugated how you would conjugate 来る.

来る = to come

連(つ)れてくる = to bring someone along

持(も)ってくる = to bring, to take (an item)

You see how the meanings of these verbs are concepts similar to the meaning of 来る? That is no coincidence my friends. Now all that’s left is learning how to conjugate them.

単語 (たんご) Frequency Adverbs

not much 余り (あまり)

not at all 全然 (ぜんぜん)

usually 大抵 (たいてい)

sometimes 時々 (ときどき)

often; much よく (良く)

at about… ぐらい

Frequency Adverb Grammar

Frequency adverbs are added to a sentence to describe how often you do something.

I sometimes go to a coffee shop.

私はときどききっさてんに行きます。

Negative frequency adverbs anticipate a negative verb form at the end of the sentence. Therefore, you cannot use ぜんぜん or あまり with a positive verb form such as ます to communicate their meanings here. They would have to be used with ません!!

Ie. 私は全然テレビを見ません

I do not watch TV at all.

7日目の単語 (なのかめのたんご) Day 7 Vocabulary

十一月十六日月曜日 (じゅういちがつ じゅうろくにち げつようび) Just saying the date!

The challenge where I force myself to memorize an entire vocabulary list a day

So we just started a new chapter and I don’t have the vocabulary memorized, so I’ll have to halt the video once again and get these textbook words out of the way. But like I said, I have to learn them all anyway, so I’m not too concerned!

postal stamps 切手(きって)

birthday誕生日(たんじょうび)

ticketきっぷ

airplane飛行機(ひこうき)

holiday; day off; absence 休み(やすみ)

travel旅行(りょこう)

large大きい(おおきい)

interesting; funny 面白い(おもしろい)

good-lookingかっこいい

cold weather 寒い(さむい)

fun楽しい(たのしい)

boringつまらない

old item (inanimate) 古い(ふるい)

difficult難しい(むずかしい)

kind (person); easy (problem) やさしい

inexpensive; cheap (item) 安い(やすい)

I have a lot for this list because I learned some of these a while back and I’m only relearning them, which should be a lot faster and easier than seeing them for the first time. I also rly need to get these out of the way so I can go back to finishing the JLPT N5 Vocab video, soo yah lol
