Irregular verbs Japanese

There are two major irregular verbs: くる kuru (to come) and する suru (to do). Their
masu form, nai form, and stem form are as follows:

くる kuru (come) きます kimasu こない konai き ki


する suru (do) します shimasu しない shinai し shi

Several u verbs have a slight irregularity with one of their forms.


For example, the verb ある aru patterns like an u verb, except that its negative form is な
い nai:

ある aru (exist) あります arimasu ない nai あり ari

Conjugation Patterns

The following table lists representative ru verbs, u verbs, and the two major irregular
verbs in dictionary form, masu form, nai form, and stem form:
To conjugate a verb, check the ending syllable and the class of the verb and follow the
pattern of one of the verbs in the previous table. Pay attention to the w sound that
surprisingly appears in the nai form of an u verb whose dictionary form ends in an
independent syllable う u. The root of such a verb ends in w, which is audible only when
followed by the vowel a.
