「Learn Japanese」 Conditional ば-Form (Verb Conjugation + Adjective and Noun Conjugation) The ば-Form is a type of conditional form that translates simply to “if.” While it is mainly used as a verb conjugation, it can also be applied to both い-Adjectives and な-Adjectives and even nouns. The ば-Form for Verbs is divided into three categories: う-Verbs, る-Verbs, and Irregular Verbs. To conjugate an う-Verb into its ば-Form, take the stem of the う-Verb and add e + ば afterwards. Example(s): 行く（いく） = 行けば（いけば）買う（かう） = 買えば（かえば）読む（よむ） = 読めば（よめば） To conjugate a る-Verb into its ば-Form, take the stem of the る-Verb and add れば afterwards. Example(s): 食べる（たべる） = 食べれば（たべれば）見る（みる） = 見れば（みれば）ある = あれば The two irregular verbs for the ば-Form conjugation are 来る（くる） and する which become 来れば（くれば） and すれば respectively. To conjugate an い-Adjective into its ば-Form, take the stem of the い-Adjective and add ければ afterwards. Example(s): 新しい（あたらしい） = 新しければ（あたらしければ）おいしい = おいしければ寒い（さむい） = 寒ければ（さむければ） To conjugate な-Adjectives and or Nouns into their ば-Form, take the stem of the な-Adjective or the Noun and add であれば afterwards. Example(s): 元気（げんき） = 元気であれば大切（たいせつ） = 大切であれば先生（せんせい） = 先生であれば犯人（はんにん） = 犯人であれば ✧¸¸.•*¨*• •*¨*•.¸¸✧ Support Learning Japanese on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/learningjapanese This video series is presented by becauseofdreams. http://becauseofdreams.com/ For the sub-domain dedicated to the Japanese grammar patterns covered in this video series and other aspects of learning the Japanese language and culture, visit http://learnjapanese.becauseofdreams.com All media presented in this video is created and owned by becauseofdreams or is used with complete permissions. ✧¸¸.•*¨*• •*¨*•.¸¸✧ Edit(s): *Please do leave a comment below if you notice any potential errors so I can include a notification about it!
