Learn Japanese - The Complete Video Series (presented by becauseofdreams) - 「Learn Japanese」 Passive Form (-られる Verb Conjugation)

「Learn Japanese」 Passive Form (-られる Verb Conjugation) Verbs are conjugated into this form in order to be used in the Passive Form construct. To conjugate る-Verbs into the Passive Form: take the Stem-Form of the る-Verb and add the characters られる. *For る-Verbs, the Passive Form is conjugated the same way as the Potential Form. Example(s): 見る （みる） ＝ 見られる （みられる） 食べる （たべる） ＝ 食べられる （たべられる） 寝る （ねる） ＝ 寝られる （ねられる） 考える （かんがえる） ＝ 考えられる （かんがえられる） To conjugate う-Verbs into the Passive Form: if the う-Verb ends with the character う, take the Stem-Form of the う-Verb and add the characters われる if the う-Verb ends with any character other than う, take the Stem-Form of the う-Verb and add the characters a (attaching this “a” with the ending consonant of the Stem-Form to form a Japanese character) + れる. Example(s): 買う （かう） ＝ 買われる （かわれる） 使う （つかう） ＝ 使われる （つかわれる） 言う （いう） ＝ 言われる （いわれる） 戦う （たたかう） ＝ 戦われる （たたかわれる） 聞く （きく） ＝ 聞かれる （きかれる） 呼ぶ （よぶ） ＝ 呼ばれる （よばれる） 読む （よむ） ＝ 読まれる （よまれる） 泳ぐ （およぐ） ＝ 泳がれる （およがれる） There are two irregular verbs for this Verb Form: 来る （くる） and する, which conjugate to 来られる （こられる） and される respectively. ✧¸¸.•*¨*• •*¨*•.¸¸✧ Support Learning Japanese on Patreon!
