Q

Using transitive and intransitive verbs: DEFINITION AND CONJUGATION:

A

Transitive verbs express action directed by SOMEONE TOWARD a specific object (DIRECT OBJECT); marked with particle を.

Intransitive verbs are used in situations where the OBJECT ACTS ON ITS OWN WITHOUT A DIRECT OBJECT; often marked with particle が, but not always.

Except for some verbs like 入る, which can take an animate subject, as in 私はお風呂に入る、many intransitive verbs of transitive/intransitive verb pairs take an inanimate subject and DO NOT EXPRESS the speaker’s INTENTIONAL ACTION. When they are used with the て-form of verbs + いる structure, they express a resultant state (Chapter 9 of Nakama I)

Q

Expressing results of intentional action using ~てある (1/2): DEFINITION AND CONJUGATION:

A

~てある is usually used to express a situation where someone has DONE SOMETHING for SOME PURPOSE and the speaker wants to talk about the STATE RESULTING FROM THAT ACTION.

The verb in the ~てある construction can be transitive or intransitive, but it MUST express an INTENTIONAL ACTION.

59
Q

Expressing results of intentional action using ~てある (2/2): DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRANSITIVE + INTRANSITIVE:

A

Transitive verbs indicate an intentional action, so ~てある is used to express a STATE RESULTING FROM AN INTENTIONAL ACTION.

When the main verb is transitive, the direct object can be marked with either が or を. The particle を tends to be chosen when the action was PERFORMED BY THE SPEAKER

In contrast, intransitive verbs usually express NON-INTENTIONAL ACTION.

Expressing obligation using ~なければ/なくては + ならない、~なければ/~なくては + いけない DEFINITION AND CONJUGATION:

A

NEGATIVE FORM + ~ければ/くては + ならない、~ければ/~くては + いけない = OBLIGATION

Although the four pairs are virtually interchangeable, いけない carries a STRONGER SENSE OF OBLIGATION than ならない and is used when expressing a SPECIFIC OBLIGATION. When one talks about obligations or necessities that are general in nature, ならない tends to be used.

88
Q

~なければ/なくては + ならない、~なければ/~なくては + いけない CASUAL FORMS:

A

In casual speech, the following contracted forms are used. Also, ならない/いけない can be omitted or replace by だめ.

~なくてはならない / いけない ー> ~なくちゃ(なんない / いけない / だめ)

89
Q

Expressing obligation using ~なければ/なくては + ならない、~なければ/~なくては + いけない NOTES: What they mean by themselves + how to answer questions with these endings:

A

Because the negative form of the verb ある is ない, ~なければ/なくては + ならない、~なければ/~なくては + いけない by themselves mean “something must exist” or “one must have something.”

To answer questions with ~なければ/なくては + ならない、~なければ/~なくては + いけない:

Affirmative: ええ、~なければ/~なくては + いけません

Negative: いいえ、~なくてもいいです to express a lack of obligation
