Japanese verbs, I need help?

Hello Hello,

I'm currently learning Japanese. I'm currently working on verb conjugations. I understand the simple present tense/negative tense, but I don't understand the rest at all. Can you recommend a book or something similar that explains verbs thoroughly, in detail, and well? Thank you so much!

If you’re looking for a book, you can see mine: https://kawaraban.de/japanisch-buch/ Or alternatively free on my website: https://kawaraban.de/japanische-grammatik/

Then you will first learn that Japanese does not have conjugations as we know them. These are absolutely all helpful words. For example, you don’t say “I left” but rather something like that in the direction “I was going” if you were to translate it 1:1.

What is really a conjugation in Japanese – but one must also explicitly separate from what we understand in German as conjugation – is only the change of the last can of a word.

So how to make a 聞 聞か、聞 sweat、聞け or 聞 close. Relationship with Ichidan verbs like 食べる the omission of る.

The typical explanations of how Japanese learners are often taught are not compatible with the descriptions of the grammar as they learn Japanese, nor with the definition of the term “conjugation”. And is therefore very confusing.

With the following “Verb Conjugator” you can conjugate any Japanese verb in all forms. However, it is an English website.
