Japanese Verbs : Verb bases – Putting verbs into the TA –form (た-form)
The ability to put Japanese verbs into the various bases quickly without pause is a pre-requisite for speaking fluently and becoming a competent and capable conversationalist. Of all the verbs Bases (I, II, III, IV , V, TA-た, and TE-て) the TA - た form ranks high in usage as one of the top three most used bases for verbs only after TE-てand Base-III or root form. I am focusing on it now in order to prepare you for the quick, powerful grammar secrets that employ Base TA - たverbs. Knowintg these secrets will catapult your Japanese speaking ability through the roof. I’ll be discussing Japanese grammar rules that use Japanese verbs in Base TA - た.
One of the main things you should know about the TA - た form of a verb is that it is used to put verbs into past tense plain form. A verb in base TA - た form is equivalent to English’s have done or past tense perfect. The TA - た form of a verb has evolved from the classical form tari and it still has many uses (see http://japanetics.blogspot.com)
**** How to put a Japanese verb into Base TA ****
1. Vowel Stemmed verbs (i.e. ichidan verbs or verbs that end in either IRU, or ERU -える.)
a. to put a verb into the TA-た form when the verb has a vowel stem simply add TA - た
Base III, or dictionary form of 5 Japanese verbs
1. kanjiru - 感じる
2. oboeru - 覚える
3. kangaeru - 考える
4. deru - 出る
5. iru - 居る
Stems for 5 Japanese verbs
1. kanji - 感じ
2. oboe - 覚え
3. kangae - 考え
4. de - 出
5. I - 居,
Base TA for 5 Japanese verbs
TA - た ending verbs are past tense.
1. kanjita - 感じた
2. oboeta - 覚えた
3. kangaeta - 考えた
4. deta - 出た
5. ita- 居た
Meaning transformation of 5 Japanese Verbs
1. To feel becomes to have felt.
感じる becomes感じた
2. To remember becomes to have remembered.
覚える becomes覚えた
3. To think becomes to have thought.
考えるbecomes考えた
4. To leave becomes to have left.
出るbecomes出た
5. To be becomes to have been. (was, were)
居るbecomes居た
Try putting your favorite verb ending in iru or eru into the TA form today and get your Nihongo more Jozu!
And remember…
MORE WORDS MEMORIZED = HIGHER RATE of FLUENCY.
If you want more information on how you can use memory and the laws of attraction to master any language the please see
Master Memory
As Always,

TASHIKA is not an adjective like AKAI, UTSUKUSHII, AKARUI, OR SURUDOI. It is irregular like TOMEI therefore it uses the connective particle NA

Basic Japanese pronunciation.
Tip #102 These tips are my lazy explanation for lack of technical terminology. I am a born American and English is my native language. I didn’t start on my path towards Japanese language mastery, until I was 19 years old. I was taught at the University during a linguistics class that after the age of 12 the part of the brain that handles the understanding of languages hardens and solidifies to the point that pronunciation and the understanding of words
Understand how the English letters L and R are and D are pronounced in English then experiment with variations and cross-mixes by combining the letters as you do red, blue, and green in fine tuning the color or warmth of a television set. RA - ら,RI - り, RU - る, RE - れ, and RO - ろ are pronounced by lightly flicking your tongue on the roof of your mouth at the hard palette area. The tongue it seems to me is softer and wider when flicking and flattening it at the top of your mouth. D is stiff, but ra,ri,ru,re,ro is more flexibly soft when struck against the rooftop of your mouth.
Do you remember making a taco out of your tongue when you were a kid? Well you can make a taco but it is a smaller taco, towards the tip of the tongue and then flapped . Ra is jaw dropping wide from nose to chin. Re is made cheeks wide smile, ru is rounded lips in a circle, ro is both the dropped ja of ra + ooh lala.
Here is more insight I give to serious Japanese wanna speak it correctly soon in my non- technical jargonated language sort of explanation. I hope you can bear this, because I’m sure any linguist out there would kill me for shame and spite, thank you in advance. after making a canyon in your mouth or by pushing the tongue forward to the upper harder palette at the roof of your mouth. Pretend as if your mouth was a hot potato and your tongue being separate when saying the ra ri ru re ro line in the syllabary and that your tongue must come quickly off the roof of your mouth because it is hot. Also the r’s in Japanese of which there are but 5 (each corresponding to the vowel sounds, in conjunction with) You can simulate actual native pronunciation by pronouncing your ra ri ru re ro line to yourself. The r’s are often mis-heard as d’s in English. I was saying some words to a junior Japanese language learning apprentice the practicing.
But before you even attempt the ra ri ru re ro line of the syllabary, master the first five syllables which constitute the Japanese vowels. Ah ee ooh eh and oh or short hand a i u e and o.The first 5 syllables are actually the 5 vowels of the Japanese language. If we first master the first 5 first vowels correctly, then pronunciation for all the rest of the syllables shall fall into place in due time. The following is a link to the International Phonetic Alphabet or the IPA http://www.unc.edu/underling/images/ipachart.gif/
a - あ ah as when the dentist says, “say ah.”
i - い ee as in leech or me.
u -う not exactly ooh but for beginning pronunciation masters
stick with the
pronouncing u like ooh as in “ooh lala,” or Winnie the pooh.
e - え eh as in bedhead .( edges of mouth as when smiling corners
of mouth stretched
outward.)
and ,
o お oh as in boat or note (long long closed mid back )
also it is interesting to note that as we have in English the e at the end of the word note that if it weren’t there would simply be not however with the addition of the e at the end it somehow takes the o which was pronounced as ah and pulled on it through the letter t to make it the long oh pronunciation.
*It is interesting to note that in Japanese the plosive bilabials pa and ba come from the aspirated ha in written kana in this order: ha pa then ba or ha then ha with the degree symbol then ha with the ten ten marks or a single quotation mark. The order in the dictionary follows that pattern in its other dignified grouping of ta going to da and also ka going to ga in the velar.

Nagara grammar nihon
This article's Japanese grammar construction uses the Japanese word 'nagara'
Verb (Base II) + nagara - to do while 'verb'ing.
With this grammar construction, both past tense and present tense expressions are allowable. After reading the following examples, plug in your favorite Japanese verbs and, play! Plugging and playing in this way makes learning Japanese fun!
Example.1. sara o arainagara, kuchibue o fuku. - While doing the dishes, I whistle.
Example 2. enka o kikinagara, sake o nomu - While listening to an enka drink sake.
Japanese Grammar Formulation Breakdown
1. Put verb in base II
a. The verb arau (v. to wash) in + direct object sara (n. dishes) is sara o arau - to do the dishes.
b. arau in base II becomes arai.
2. Fuse arai and nagara to make arainagara, or the phrase while washing...
Past tense, non-polite (familiar), plain-form ending
sara o arainagara kuchibue of fuita. I whistled while doing the dishes.
Past tense, polite ending -
sara o arainagara, kuchibue of fukimashita. – (While doing the dishes, I whistled.)
Past tense, non-polite (familiar), plain-form ending -
enka o kikinagara, sake o nonda (While listening to enka, I drank Sake)
Past tense, polite ending -
enka o kikinagara, sake o nomimashita.( While listening to enka, I drank Sake)
Past tense, non-polite (familiar), plain-form ending
kuruma o unten shinagara, tomodachi to hanshi o shita (While driving my car, I spoke with my friend.)
Past tense, polite ending -
kuruma o unten shinagara, tomodachi to hanshi o shimashita

Learning English in Reverse
This blog Eigo ryoku is for Japanese speakers who want to learn English in a little different way. You see, I usually write Japanese lessons for English speakers but have decided to experiment a little bit, and came up with learning English in reverse. What do I mean by learning English in Reverse? I have translated the usual Japanese lessons that are normally in English into Japanese. The thinking behind this is that if you are learning correct Japanese language then the reverse must be true too. That Japanese speakers may have a keen or new insight into the way the western mind works by having eikaiwa online by using backwards methods. These blogposts will most likely be lessons that I have written for use online but have translated them in reverse so that Japanese speakers can enjoy the benefit of what English speakers would normally learn and benefit from my Japanese lessons at http://japanetics.blogspot.com or http://saketalkie.blogspot.com.
I hope all my Japanese friends in Japan enjoy these backward eikaiwa lessons.
Ganbatte Ne!
