現代日語[编辑]

本節僅討論20世紀後期以後書寫和使用的標準日語。

日本學校語法與現代語言分析的區別[编辑]

日語的学校文法gakkō bunpō)是基於對古典日語的語法分析。由於日語以假名書寫,文字間沒有空格,因此這種分析以音拍做為最小的語音單位。由於古典日語和現代日語之間的差異,學校文法和教授外國學生的日本語教育文法Nihongo kyōiku bunpō)有很大的不同。

變位類型:從形態學的角度來看,現代日語中的規則動詞可以大致分為兩個變位類型,輔音詞幹和元音詞幹。輔音詞幹動詞的辭書型是詞幹 + -u,元音詞幹動詞詞幹 + -ru

變位類型 辭書型 詞幹 活用形式
變位類型 書く (kaku) kak- kakanai
kakimasu
kaku
kakeba
kakō
元音詞幹 起きる (okiru) oki- okinai
okimasu
okiru
okireba
okiyō

學校文法使用了一種非常不同的方法。由於使用音拍文字,輔音詞幹動詞(如 kak-u)會被分割為 ka-ku,因為其他詞尾會導致後半部分(也就是 ku)產生變化(如 kak-anai, kak-imasu 等)。此外,只有那個假名被視為動詞變位的結尾;其餘部分被視為助詞或助動詞。

詞幹 語尾 助詞或助動詞
ka ka ない nai
ka ki ます masu
ka ku
ka ke ba
ka ko u

很容易看出,對於任何輔音詞幹動詞,學校文法中的「語尾」是一個假名,且其輔音不變(因為那是真正的詞幹),且其元音在動詞變位中可以變成所有五個元音,也就是五十音図gojūon-zu)中同一的五個,因此輔音詞幹動詞的變位稱為五段活用godan katsuyō)。

元音詞幹動詞則更複雜。由於學校文法是為古典日語設計的,其中大多數現代元音詞幹動詞(如 oki-ru)在詞幹尾的元音中有交替現象(如 oki-ruoki-zuoki-kioku(ru)oku-reba 等活用),不變的部分是 ok-。和輔音詞幹動詞的相同,這類動詞會被切割成像 o-kiru 的形式,儘管 ki 在現代日語亦永遠不會改變。在變位中,ru 部分被或改變,主要是為了確保助詞或助動詞有相同形式。

詞幹 詞尾 助詞或助動詞
o ki ない nai
o ki ます masu
o きる kiru
o きれ kire ba
o ki よう

It's easy to see that the "ending" begins with a kana that does not change (since it is from the true stem) and therefore stays on one row and one column ("grade") of the fifty-sound table. For i-stem verbs, that kana is on the i row, so the conjugation is called upper-monograde conjugation (上一段活用 kami-ichidan katsuyō). For e-stem verbs, that kana is on the e row, so the conjugation is called lower-monograde conjugation (下一段活用 shimo-ichidan katsuyō). (The names are in reference to a vertically written fifty-sound table where the five rows a, i, u, e, o becomes five columns and the "upper/lower monograde" refers to the column above or below the middle one, u).

The newer grammar designed to teach foreigners follows the morphological analysis and groups the verbs into three classes, Group I (consonant-stem), Group II (vowel-stem), and Group III (irregular). The first two classes are also called -u verbs and -ru verbs, but the stem-ending boundary of consonant-stem verbs is not indicated because it may be blurred by sound changes (e.g. kak-ukaita), making their kana-based segmentation (ka-ku) more advantageous.

Paradigm of verbs: In Japanese school grammar, verbs have only six conjugated forms (although some can have further sound changes) and any further conjugation is done by appending particles (助詞 joshi) or auxiliary verbs (助動詞 jodōshi).

Conjugated form (活用形 katsuyōkei) Of consonant-stem verbs Of vowel-stem verbs Derived stem? Conjugated form?
未然形 (mizenkei, irrealis) stem + a stem Yes No
連用形 (ren'yōkei, continuative or stem form) stem + i stem Yes Yes (ends a coordinate clause in formal writing)
終止形 (shūshikei, conclusive) stem + u stem + ru No Yes (ends a nonpast sentence)
連体形 (rentaikei, adnominal) stem + u stem + ru No Yes (ends a noun-modifying clause)
仮定形 (kateikei, hypothetical) stem + e stem + re Yes No
命令形 (meireikei, imperative) stem + e stem + ro/yo No Yes (ends an imperative sentence)

The newer grammar designed for teaching foreigners Japanese, on the other hand, gives a set of key conjugated forms that are immediately useful:

Conjugation classes[编辑]

In traditional Japanese grammar, modern Japanese has five verbal conjugational classes: godan (five-grade), kami ichidan (upper monograde), shimo ichidan (lower monograde), ka-gyō henkaku (k- irregular), and sa-gyō henkaku (s- irregular). Some English-language resources simplify them to three: Group I (consonant stem, comprising godan), Group II (vowel stem, comprising the ichidan’s), and Group III (irregular). The first two groups are also known as -u and -ru verbs, respectively, in reference to the dictionary form (i.e. the nonpast) endings.

Five-grade (五段 godan)[编辑]

Five-grade (五段 godan) is the class of consonant stem verbs and is the largest verb class with native vocabulary. The stem-final consonants include -k, -g, -s, -t, -n, -b, -m, -r, and -w. The dictionary form is formed by attaching -u to the stem, making (ku), (gu), (su), (tsu), (nu), (bu), (mu), (ru), and (u). Traditionally, the stem-final consonant is considered as part of the inflecting suffix, so a verb like 書く (kaku, to write, stem kak-) is segmented as (ka-ku), with the inflecting part being -ku. Since the stem-final consonant play a role in some of the conjugation patterns, we include it in the paradigm below as well.

Notes
  1. For volitional forms such as kakou, some versions of the katsuyōkei system list the kako- part as an alternative 未然形 mizenkei, and some list it as a seventh katsuyōkei form. The -ou ending is spelt in historical kana orthography (歴史的仮名遣い) as -au (e.g. yasumou as やすまう), reflecting its historical derivation.
  2. Historically, the -w ending for all such verbs was originally a -p, hence the historical kana spelling (歴史的仮名遣い) for, say, いう is いふ, with the six katsuyōkei forms いは, いひ, いふ, いふ, いへ, いへ.

Upper monograde (上一段 kami ichidan)[编辑]

Upper monograde (上一段 kami ichidan) is the class of regular vowel stem verbs whose stems end in -i. The dictionary form is formed by attaching -ru to the stem, making an (i-dan, i-row) kana plus (ru). Traditionally, the final syllable (Ci) of the stem is considered part of the inflecting suffix, so for example 借りる (kariru, to borrow, stem kari-) is segmented as (ka-riru), with the inflecting part being -riru. (If there is only one syllable in the stem, the whole word becomes the inflecting part.) As the final syllable in the stem does not change or affect the conjugational patterns, we will leave it out in the paradigm below.

Lower monograde (下一段 shimo ichidan)[编辑]

Lower monograde (下一段 shimo ichidan) is the class of regular vowel stem verbs whose stems end in -e. The dictionary form is formed by attaching -ru to the stem, making an (e-dan, e-row) kana plus (ru). Traditionally, the final syllable (Ce) of the stem is considered part of the inflecting suffix, so for example 食べる (taberu, to eat, stem tabe-) is segmented as (ta-beru), with the inflecting part being -beru. (If there is only one syllable in the stem, the whole word becomes the inflecting part.) As the final syllable in the stem does not change or affect the conjugational patterns, we will leave it out in the paradigm below.

s-irregular (サ行変格 sa-gyō henkaku)[编辑]

This class holds the irregular verb する (suru, to do). Note the suppletive potential form できる (dekiru, to be able). When used as a light verb, it is usually used to turn an non-inflecting word into a verb such as 勉強する (benkyō suru, to study), びっくりする (bikkuri suru, to be surprised), in which case the conjugation is the same. However, a number of words which involve suru (mostly single kanji + suru) conjugate differently: those with suru after a /Q/, such as 達する (tassuru), have different causative and passive forms; those with suru voiced after a moraic nasal, such as 論ずる (ronzuru), have a hybrid conjugation between s- irregular -zuru and kami ichidan -jiru; and some with suru after i or ku, such as 愛する (aisuru), have a hybrid conjugation between s- irregular -suru and godan -su.[2]

Inflected forms[编辑]

In traditional Japanese grammar, verbs have the six basic forms called 活用形 katsuyōkei listed below, from which most of their inflected forms can be derived.

活用形 katsuyōkei Stem? Inflected form?
未然形 (mizenkei, irrealis) Yes No
連用形 (ren'yōkei, continuative or stem form) Yes Yes
終止形 (shūshikei, conclusive) No Yes
連体形 (rentaikei, adnominal) No Yes
仮定形 (kateikei, hypothetical) Yes No
命令形 (meireikei, imperative) No Yes

Notes: 未然形 mizenkei “irrealis” is named after its use with -ba in Classical Japanese: kakaba “if one writes”, in contrast with the realis kakeba “as, when, because one writes”. It is a stem used to form the negative, passive, causative, and the volitional. 連用形 ren'yōkei is named in reference to its use followed by 用言 yōgen “inflecting words”. It is the infinitive as an inflected form, and also a stem used to form some inflected forms as well as compound verbs. 終止形 shūshikei is the conclusive, and is also the “plain” or “dictionary form” in which verbs are generally cited. 連体形 rentaikei is named in reference to its use followed by 体言 taigen “non-inflecting words”. It is the adnominal, also used to conclude a clause modifying a noun. In modern Japanese the shūshikei always has the same shape as the rentaikei, but in Classical Japanese it does not for some classes. 仮定形 kateikei “hypothetical” is a stem only used with -ba to form the provisional conditional. 命令形 meireikei is the imperative.


There are a large number of suffixes that can follow verbs to express grammatical categories in Japanese, and this section deals with suffixes that are not verbs themselves. Note that a verb can be conjugated several times by chaining auxiliaries, e.g. 食べる (taberu, to eat) to the causative 食べさせる (tabesaseru, to make (someone) eat) then to the polite form 食べさせます (tabesasemasu) and finally to the negative 食べさせません (tabesasemasen, does not make (someone) eat). As such, the actual number of inflected forms of a verb can be very large. The most common, one-level inflected forms of verbs are listed below:

Paradigm of godan verbs with -k, -g, and -s stems
Example word 書く kak- 泳ぐ oyog- 話す hanas-
Mizenkei stem kaka- およ oyoga- はな hanasa-
 Negative  かかない kakanai  およがない oyoganai  はなさない hanasanai
 Passive  かかれる kakareru  およがれる oyogareru  はなされる hanasareru
 Causative  かかせる kakaseru  およがせる oyogaseru  はなさせる hanasaseru
Ren'yōkei kaki およ oyogi はな hanashi
 Polite  かきます kakimasu  およぎます oyogimasu  はなします hanashimasu
 Desiderative  かきたい kakitai  およぎたい oyogitai  はなしたい hanashitai
 Evidential  かきそう kaki  およぎそう oyogi  はなしそう hanashi
Onbin stem kai- およ oyoi- (< ĩ-) (= ren'yōkei)
 Past  かい kaita  およい oyoida  はなし hanashita
 -tara conditional  かいたら kaitara  およいだら oyoidara  はなしたら hanashitara
 Representative  かいたり kaitari  およいだり oyoidari  はなしたり hanashitari
 Conjunctive or -te form  かい kaite  およい oyoide  はなし hanashite
Nonpast (= shūshikei = rentaikei) kaku およ oyogu はな hanasu
-ba conditional (from kateikei stem) けば kakeba およげば oyogeba はなせば hanaseba
Potential kakeru およ oyogeru はな hanaseru
Imperative (= meireikei) kake およ oyoge はな hanase
Volitional (from alt. mizenkei stem) こう ka およごう oyo はなそう hana
Note
  • 行く (iku, to go, stem ik-) has the irregular onbin stem iQ-, hence the past is いった (itta), the conjunctive is いって (itte), etc. Otherwise, it is a regular godan verb with -k stem.
Paradigm of godan verbs with -t, -n, and -b stems
Example word 立つ tat- 死ぬ shin- 呼ぶ yob-
Mizenkei stem tata- shina- yoba-
 Negative  たたない tatanai  しなない shinanai  よばない yobanai

Notes
  1. The honorific verbs いらっしゃる (irassharu), 仰る (ossharu), 下さる (kudasaru), なさる (nasaru), ござる (gozaru) have irregular imperative forms and ren'yōkei stems used with the auxiliary verb ます (-masu), formed by changing the -r to -i (rather than the regular ren'yōkei -ri or imperative -re). Otherwise, they are regular godan verbs with -r stems.
  2. The verb ある (aru, to be, to exist) has the suppletive negative form ない (nai, non-existent, not), which is an adjective. Otherwise, it is a regular godan verb with -r stem.
  3. The verbs 問う (tou) and 請う (kou) have irregular onbin stems formed by changing the -w to a lengthening mora, hence the past is とうた (tōta), こうた (kōta), the conjunctive is とうて (tōte), こうて (kōte), etc. Otherwise, they are regular godan verb with -w stems.

When there are several auxiliaries following a verb, they generally occur in this order:

  • Causative -seru ~ -saseru
  • Passive/spontaneous/honorific(/potential) -reru ~ -rareru (~ -eru)
  • Desiderative -tai (if this suffix is present, further inflection becomes i-adjective like)
  • Polite -masu
  • Negative -nai, -nu ~ -n
  • Evidential -sō (if this suffix is present, further inflection becomes na-adjective like; not used with -masu)
  • Suffixes expressing obligatory categories

The causative and passive auxiliaries have shimo ichidan conjugation. The desiderative auxiliary -tai have adjectival inflection. The evidential -sō behaves like a nominal. The other two non-final auxiliaries, polite -masu and negative -nai, have the following paradigms:

Note
  • Compared with ない (nai), (nu) is more old-fashioned while (n) n can be colloquial, old-fashioned or dialectal (except that it is mandatory after ます (masu)).
  • The conjunctive form なくて (nakute) and ないで (naide) have different uses: when linking verbs, the former simply joins two clauses while the latter means "without", equivalent to ずに (zu ni). The former is used with the conditional particle (wa) and the concessive particle (mo), while the latter is used with auxiliay verbs like もらい (morai), ください (kudasai), ほしい (hoshii), e.g. 言わなくていい (iwanakute mo ii, it's ok if you don't say it), 言わないでください (iwanaide kudasai, please don't say it).
  • As with i-adjectives, the volitional なかろう (nakarō) is now largely replaced by ない (nai) + だろう (darō).

Note: The verb aru ある “to be, to exist” does not have the negative formed in this way. The plain negative is the adjective nai ない “nonexistent, not be”, and the polite negative is nai desu ないです or arimasen ありません.

All these forms can occur in the predicate position of a sentence (i.e. at the end, where the plain form is considered to be in the shūshikei form).

アリス(まい)(にち)コーヒー() / ()みますArisu wa mainichi kōhī o nomu / nomimasu.Alice drinks coffee every day.
アリス(でん)()(ばん)(ごう)()らない / ()りませんArisu no denwabangō o shiranai / shirimasen.I don't know Alice's telephone number.
昨日(きのう)(とも)(だち)(いえ)() / ()ましたKinō, tomodachi ga ie ni kita / kimashita.Friends came to my house yesterday.
(せん)(しゅう)(はたら)かなかった / (はたら)きませんでしたか。Senshū hatarakanakatta / hatarakimasen deshita ka.You didn't work in the last week?

The plain forms can also be used to modify a noun, or in the predicate position of a clause modifying a noun, when occurring before it (here the plain form is to be considered in the rentaikei form in traditional grammar):

(わたし)明日(あした)()()(こう)()watashi ga ashita noru hikōkithe plane that I'll take tomorrow (lit. the-tomorrow-taken-by-me plane.)
()(ども)いない(ふう)()kodomo no inai fūfua couple who have no child (lit. the children-lacking couple.)
トムが昨日(きのう)()ったパソコンtomu ga kinō katta pasokonthe computer that Tom bought yesterday (lit. the yesterday-bought-by-Tom computer.)
トップ10に(はい)らなかった(こと)()toppu 10 ni hairanakatta kotobawords that didn't enter the top 10 (lit. the non-entered-to-top-10 words.)

Infinitive[编辑]

The infinitive (= ren'yōkei), apart from deriving nouns or used in the construction of compound verbs, can be used for the non-final predicates when linking several predicates together in a sentence.

(きみ)(うた)(ぼく)(おど)kimi ga utai, boku wa odoruyou sing; I dance

This is called 連用中止 ren'yō chūshi and it is mainly used in written language. The non-final predicates do not conjugate for tense or politeness. Iru いる “to be” in these positions are usually replaced by its humble form oru おる and put in ren'yōkei as ori おり.

Another use of the infinitive is in the grammar pattern verb/clause + ni + motion verb.

(あそ)()たぜ。asobi ni kita ze.I came to play
()()()(もつ)()()きます。Gogo, nimotsu o tori ni ikimasu.I will go to fetch my luggage this afternoon.

Certain kinds of compound verbs are produced by attaching a word to the continuative form of a verb; for example: やすい (-yasui, easy to do), (-kata, way of doing something), 返す (-kaesu, to do something over again). Other constructions include たい (-tai, to want to do something), ながら (-nagara, while doing something), なさい (-nasai, please do something) (used only between friends or to someone of a lower rank), そう (-sō da, to seem likely to do something).

eq5Conjunctive form with て===== The conjunctive or te form is spinoff of the continuative form by attaching the particle to it. For godan (five-grade) verbs, the same kinds of sound changes with ~た applies. The particle can be used to link several predicates together, as illustrated below:

アリスは(まい)晩家(ばんいえ)(かえ)って、テレビを()ますArisu wa maiban ie e kaette, terebi o mimasu.Alice returns home and watches TV every night.
昨日(きのう)()(しょ)(かん)()って(べん)(きょう)しましたKinō toshokan e itte, benkyō shimashita.I went to library and studied yesterday.

When used at the end of a sentence it makes a light command:

(たす)けてtasukete!Help!
ゆっくりしていってね!Yukkuri shite itte ne!Take it easy!

More often, this form is part of certain kinds of expressions: ~てから (after doing something), ~て(いい) (~て(いい)) (it's OK to do something), ~てだめ/いけない/ならない (it's not ok to do something), ~て下さい (please do something), ~ている (to be doing something), ~てある (to be in the state of ...), ~てばかり (to be always doing something), ~てあげる (to do something to others), ~てくれる (to do something for me), ~てもらう (to receive the favor of doing something), ~ておく (to do something in preparation), ~てしまう (to do something completely or accidentally), ~てみる (to try doing something), etc. When followed by motion verbs like いく and くる as a set expression, the basic meaning is to do something towards a direction (e.g. 帰る is "return", 帰っていく is "go back", while 帰ってくる is "come back"), and the notion of the direction can be abstract (towards the future, up to the present, come to the state, etc.)

Imperative form[编辑]

The imperative form (命令形) is often irregular in honorific speech; in other cases it can be rude in everyday conversation except when quoted or used in -clauses. It is conjugated:

  • godan verbs: change the -u to -e. For example, 読む becomes 読め.
  • ichidan verbs: change the -ru to -ro. For example, 見る becomes 見ろ.
  • irregular verbs: kuru becomes koi, suru becomes shiro.

Volitional form[编辑]

The volitional form carries the meaning of "let's do something". It has the same meaning when used alone and means "try to do" when followed by する (する). It also means "I want to do something", but a less direct way to say this is to follow it by 思う (思う). The conjugation is:

  • godan verbs: change the -u to . For example, 読む becomes 読もう.
  • ichidan verbs: change the -ru to -yō. For example, 見る becomes 見よう.
  • irregular verbs: kuru becomes koyō, suru becomes shiyō.

Hypothetical conditional form[编辑]

One way to say "if" is to attach to the 仮定形 of a verb, which is formed by changing the final vowel u (whether in -u, -ru, kuru, suru) to an e. "AばB" implies that A is a condition for B to happen.

Potential form[编辑]

  • godan verbs: change the -u to -eru. For example, 読む becomes 読める.
  • ichidan verbs: change the -ru to -rareru. For example, 見る becomes 見られる.
  • irregular verbs: kuru becomes korareru, suru becomes dekiru.

Sometimes the ra can be left out (a practice called ら抜き言葉). The result can be further conjugated like an ichidan verb; for example, 信じられない (unbelievable).

Causative form[编辑]

  • godan verbs: change the -u to -a (but -wa if it has no consonant) and attach seru. For example, 読む becomes 読ませる.
  • ichidan verbs: change the -ru to -saseru. For example, 見る becomes 見させる.
  • irregular verbs: kuru becomes kosaseru, suru becomes saseru.

The result can be further conjugated like an ichidan verb. Sometimes the せる is abbreviated as a single す and conjugates as godan verbs. The object is usually introduced with , but when there is another object with (such as "A made B sing a song"), is used instead.

Passive form[编辑]

  • godan verbs: change the -u to -a (but -wa if it has no consonant) and attach reru. For example, 読む becomes 読まれる.
  • ichidan verbs: change the -ru to -rareru. For example, 見る becomes 見られる.
  • irregular verbs: kuru becomes korareru, suru becomes sareru.

The result can be further conjugated like an ichidan verb. Aside from the passive voice (where the performer of the verb is introduced with or によって), the form is also used to show politeness in which case the sentence structure does not change. In casual speech, the せる can be abbreviated as a single す and conjugates as godan verbs. The passive form is sometimes used, particularly with intransitive verbs, to express that the thing done is disappointing or harmful to the subject; for example, 逃げられた is not "[I] was run away by the rabbit", but "the rabbit ran away, unfortunately [for me]".

Causative passive form[编辑]

  • godan verbs: change the -u to -a (but -wa if it has no consonant) and attach serareru. For example, 読む becomes 読ませられる.
  • ichidan verbs: change the -ru to -saserareru. For example, 見る becomes 見させられる.
  • irregular verbs: kuru becomes kosaserareru, suru becomes saserareru.

In godan verbs, except those that end in , the middle part of the causative passive would frequently contract. For example, 読ませられる would contract to 読まされる. Likewise, the result can be further conjugated as an ichidan verb.

Irregular conjugation related to polite speech[编辑]

  • The imperative form of くれる is くれ.
  • The imperative form of some godan verbs have the ru replaced with i:
Verb Imperative form
くださる ください
なさる なさい
いらっしゃる いらっしゃい
おっしゃる おっしゃい
はがきを5枚(ごまい)ください
Hagaki o gomai kudasai.
Please give me five postcards.

The i-ending imperative forms may be followed by mase:

いらっしゃいませ
Irasshaimase!
Welcome!

Transitivity[编辑]

Japanese transitive and intransitive verbs are called 他動詞 (tadōshi) and 自動詞 (jidōshi) in Japanese respectively. Intransitive verbs usually take only a subject marked with (ga) or (wa), while transitive verbs can also take an object marked with (o).

(せん)(せい)(じゅ)(ぎょう)(はじ)める。sensei ga jugyō o hajimeru.The teacher starts the class.
(じゅ)(ぎょう)(はじ)まる。jugyō ga hajimaru.The class starts.

Intransitive verbs may also take a noun phrase that would be considered an "object" in English. This is mostly marked by (ni), similar to an indirect object.

(だん)(がん)(わたし)()たったdangan ga watashi ni atattaThe bullet hit me.

A motion verb can also be used with (o) even though it is intransitive in Japanese.

(はし)(わた)hashi o wataruto cross the bridge

When the transitive verb used with たい (tai) to express desire, or in the potential form, the object is usually marked with (ga), but (o) is also OK.

(みず)()みたい。mizu ga nomitai.I want to drink water.

Passive forms (ら)れる (-(ra)reru) usually become intransitive and causative forms (さ)せる (-(sa)seru) usually become transitive. てある (-tearu) forms usually become intransitive.

(まど)()けてある。mado ga akete aru.The window is opened.

Verb pairs[编辑]

A Japanese verb pair consists of a transitive verb and an intransitive verb sharing the same root, with the former serving as the causative/active voice, and the latter as the mediopassive voice.

()(だん)()げるnedan o ageru(Someone) raises the price.
()(だん)()がるnedan ga agaruThe price rises.
