If further clarification is necessary, or if there are others which you would like to see included here, please feel free to contact me. Even though Japanese tends to prefer passive structures much more than English, I have kept some active simply to keep the structure true to the English in order to be more easily understood. They will be, however, close enough to convey the meaning shown while being commonly used in both languages. While I have taken care to choose examples which translate over in a straightforward manner, there are some that are not a perfectly literal match. Please use my Japanese Verbs as a guide for these. Sometimes the commonly used Japanese equivalent will be an auxiliary or something else entirely.Įxample sentences will use a wide variety of verb conjugations. Also, please remember that not all English verb forms will translate into a Japanese verb form. Please cross-reference using other dictionaries in order to get a good feel for the total scope of each word or phrase. However, the ones listed here are those which I feel are the most preferred. In many cases there are other Japanese words which can be used instead. Please keep in mind that this is not meant to be comprehensive. Here you should be able to find most of the common ones used every day.Įach phrasal verb will be followed by vi (intransitive verb, not taking a direct object) or vt (transitive verb, taking a direct object), a short definition for clarification if needed, the Japanese equivalent, and an example sentence in Japanese along with its English translation. Phrasal verbs can sometimes be challenging and hard to find in English-Japanese dictionaries, if they are listed at all.
