by the way.. kalau nak conjugate anything... use this handy tool

http://www.japaneseverbconjugator.com/

see ... even this website requests for "dictionary form" of the verb...
aku dok blajar masu form.. nak carik meaning dalam jishou (dictonary) pun susah...
coz kalau aku search kaimasu... tak jumpa pape..
aku kena search for "kau".. meaning to shop...

tapi camne aku nak search kalau aku tatau dictionary form die..?

kalau group 2... cam tabemasu... senang je aku nak search.. taberu
kalau group 1... ni payah sket nak search....
susah aa kalau lupa.. pastu nak tgk dictionary tapi takleh...

pelik aa gaya blajar camni..

classes are going well..
makin lama makin payah nak paham kalau tak ulangkaji...
verbs dah blaja yg all 3 class tu... ichi/ni/san gurupu (group 1/2/3) hahahhaa

but weird sket.. coz aku bace buku diorang ajar based on the dictionary form...
as in taberu, okiru, yomu, nomu, suru
then ajar camne nak conjugate ..
tabetai, okitai, yomitai, shitai
tabete, okite, yonde, nonde, shite



tapi skang ni dalam klass blajar -masu form...
tabemasu, okimasu, yomimasu, nomimasu, shimasu...
then nak conjugate tu.... dah jadik confusing....

kalau group 2 senang.. taberu... drop the -ru... and tambah la pape pon..
tabemasu, tabetai, tabete, tabeta, tabemasen, tabenai, taberareru, taberarenai, taberaremasen...... so just drop the -ru at the end.. and add what ever u want... so 1 step process... thats why nama die ichi-dan verb...

yang group 1 ni payah... go-dan verb.. 5 steps process....
yomimasu, yomitai, yonde, yonda, yomimasen, and.... etc etc (tak cukup ilmu aku nak conjugate group 1 verb ni).....

anyways.. so aku dok bace semua reference websites/books.. semua suh start ngn dictionary form... taberu/yomu.... dari situ ajar camne nak conjugate...


tapi dalam klass die ajar dari masu ....tabemasu, yomimasu...
so aku cam konfius.... kenkadang tak sure aku nak gi from what to what...

but stakat ni yg aku tau...
aku tau conjugate more based on memory sebab selalu dengar...
bukan based on rules camne nak conjugate...
