Uki Uki Japanese Lesson 43 - Transitive vs. Intransitive Verbs
Uki Uki Japanese Lesson 43 - Transitive vs. Intransitive Verbs
www.japansociety.org/language...
oday's topic is transitive and intransitive verbs.
First, I want you to imagine 2 doors side by side.
With the 1st door, you see a man standing next to it. He holds the handle and opens the door.
With the 2nd door, you see only the door. Somehow, the door opens. You saw the opening of the door all by itself.
The first door represents a transitive verb. Here, you clearly saw two things: the man opening the door, which is a direct object. Like this, a transitive verb always shows who caused the action, and the thing that's affected by it.
Now, the second door opened without anyone’s help, right? That’s how an intransitive verb is. It’s a sort of self-moving action that just happens without an external force.
So the basic difference between the two is that transitive verbs take a direct object, and intransitive verbs don’t.
If you get confused, look closely at these points:
Is the verb followed immediately by an object? Then that’s a transitive verb.
Is the verb standing alone? Then that’s an intransitive verb. (Prepositions like at, on, from, etc. are not a direct object.)
The man opened the door. open = transitive
The door opened. open = intransitive
I accidentally woke the baby. woke = transitive
The baby woke. = intransitive
I killed the plants while on vacation. kill = transitive
The plants died while I was gone. died = intransitive
Let’s move the chair to the conference room. move = transitive
The train is moving so slowly today. moved = intransitive
Did you notice that in English, oftentimes the transitive and intransitive pairs sound exactly the same, like "I opened the door," and "The door opened?" In Japanese, they are almost always different. Some of them may sound a bit similar, but they’re still not the same verbs.
Now, we'll look at the previous sentences in Japanese with the correct particles.
The rules are:
Objectを Transitive Verb
Subjectが Intransitive Verb
男の人はドアを開けた。Otokono hito wa doa o aketa.
ドアが開いた。 Doa ga aita.
赤ちゃんを起こしちゃった。 Akachan o okoshichatta.
赤ちゃんが起きちゃった。 Akachan ga okichatta.
留守の間に、花を枯らしてしまった。 Rusu no aida ni, hana o karashite shimatta.
留守の間に、花が枯れてしまった。 Rusu no aida ni hana ga karete shimatta.
椅子を会議室に動かしましょう。Isu o kaigishitsu ni ugokashimashou.
今日は電車がノロノロと動いています。Kyou wa densha ga noronoro to ugoite imasu.
In summary, here are the key points.
1. Transitive verbs take a direct object; Intransitive verbs don’t.
2. In Japanese, transitive and intransitive pairs are usually different words.
3. Particle rules are:
Object を Transitive Verb
Subject が Intransitive Verb

The bit with the door at the beginning, especially the animation, is the best and simplest way I think anyone can be taught this concept. It’s amazing! Well done!
You demystified this seemingly complex concept in 4 minutes. Thank you very much!
OMG, that was so clear and easy to understand, thank you so much. I'll follow this channel!!
Thank you very much, it's very clear and helpful!!
Finally a video that explained it in a way I understood! ありがとうございます！
This was great. ありがとうございました。
I have taken a class with Kurahara Sensei when I was a freshman in college :) She's the BEST!

I didn't learn anything from this video. It's very nicely produced. I wish I had examples in Japanese. I want more examples, please. Thank you.
Good job

Does this lesson come with a quiz or more lessons to practice
ありがとう先生(ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ really good vibes and so well explained!
Could I ask please why then do causative intransitive verbs take を and not the usual ga
So easy! Why was i confused before?! Why didn't i saw this earlier T T
I saw someone use を before 入れる which is an intransitive verb... how com?
久しぶり！ I have a small question. What's the difference between ついに and やっと? Or are they exactly the same?
@kazuekurahara7986
7 жыл бұрын
They both pretty much mean "finally," but ついに tends to sound more dramatic/formal (e.g. "Free at last!"), whereas やっと can be more casual.

教えてくれてありがとうございます！ I looked it up a while ago and found that やっと carries more of a "after great effort" nuance to it compared to ついに which is more used when anticipating something. Does that hold true? The casual vs dramatic/formal angle definitely makes sense (from the cases where I read/heard them), which I appreciate!
I have a question. 届く means to reach (instransitive verb)is an intransitive verb 届ける is a transitive verb, right? Also, If I want to say "I can reach", it will be 「届ける」, right? My question is, How do I recognize when a person is saying 届ける referring to "I can reach" or referring to "to reach" as a transitive verb?? Thank you!

You can tell by the context, and also the use of particles (e.g. が vs. を).
This always confuses me. Thank you!
the tutorial is not clear enough. it says "usually different words", but how?
Is there any rule to find out which verb is transitive or which one is intransitive... It's almost impossible for me keep remeber transitive verb or intransitive verb for same action... Still its lot of confusion
That was a good explanation, than you. Made my life much easier

ありがとうございました。 This is really helpfull! So, I cant just say しごとをおわります, I must say しごとがおわります? If I wanna say "I (that was I who) finish the work", I need to say しごとをおわえます? And the same thing with はじめます・はじまります?
@kazuekurahara7986

しごとがおわります = The job will soon be finished. しごとをおえます = I (or someone) will finish the job. The same thing goes for はじまります & はじめます.
