I assume that some people may not like that name because "iru" and "eru" cut across the morae by (usually) beginning halfway through a kana. But the actual grammatical rule also cuts across the morae, so ...

I found another trick to identify them from a youtuber Just remember "ru-verb" to "iru/eru- verb", this way you know that if a verb ends in anything other than iru/eru, it's an u-verb But if it ends in iru/eru, it's most probably not an u-verb, and there's more ru-verbs that end with iru/eru than u-verbs that also end with iru/eru, so once you're used to Japanese language (either by practice of speaking or hearing, like hearing verbs in anime or songs etc) then unless the word is completely new to you, you'll be about to just guess by instinct if it's a ru-verb or u-verb.

@edwinbautista58574 жыл бұрын
Just a quick question on the group of the verb kiru. Two meanings , to cut / to wear . Will the definition of a verb be a basis for its grouping of whether this is an u verb or and iru/eru verb? on a different video this verb was cited as an exception( Group 1 ) but that example of kiru was specific to cut.

@MarcusGPG5 жыл бұрын
I follow Geroge Trombleys categorization: Regular (U-verbs) and Iru/Eru-verbs (RU-verbs). Verbs that rhyme with Iru/Eru follows the "drop the last RU"-rule. Otherwise, you change the last U-sound to the I-sound as normal. I think this is better since it creates fiewer exceptions like the U/RU-classification do.
@YukoSensei5 жыл бұрын
Marcus-san, it sounds like a very good explanation. I have a question. How does he categorize verbs like "Hairu" "Sebiru" "Nigiru" "Kaeru" or "Hoteru"? Although they end in Iru and Eru, they belong to U-verbs (Regular). We have quite a few of them. Does he have a tip as to how to spot those exceptions in U-verb group? Then, please share with us here. I would love to apply his method as I know it's going to help my students!

If i understand correctly 走る / はしる is also an exception? Also i wanted to ask how is it the other way around - how do i get u/ru form for verbs that end with ります? I'm asking this because i came across the verb かぶります and i'm not sure if it should be かぶりる or かぶる, becaus if i understand correctly both かぶりる and かぶる (if these things are even words) should have the same ます form.
@YukoSensei5 жыл бұрын
TauFrostさん、はい、そうです。Yes, you are correct. 走る is an exception too. If you see ります in the masu form, most likely it is a う verb because for るverbs the ending る gets dropped and hence, it doesn't get converted to り as in ります. たべ-る > たべ-ます ね-る > ね-ます おき-る > おき-ます The only exceptions are those る verbs that have りる at the end. Then, you will see ります in the masu forms. かり-る > かり-ます たり-る > たり-ます I hope this makes sense!

Very good to understand! So I can seperate between the dark (U) and the bright (RU) vowels. Is this rule 100% right, if I ascribe the words with double vowel to the う U verb, in general? Or if I ascribe the words with double vowel to る RU or う U verb depending on the previous vowel ...for example: kaeru belongs to the う U verb, because the first vowel behind the consonant K is A (dark vowel -> U verb).
@YukoSensei6 жыл бұрын
I am not familiar with the term dark and bright vowels. But I can tell you that this rule has nothing to do with the vowel before the one proceeds RU. I used the verb KAERU 帰る "return" as an example in this lesson. However, there is another KAERU 変える "change" in the language, which is an RU.
@AthenasEule6 жыл бұрын
in Germany and in roman languages the pronounciation of consonants changes depending on the previous vowel. When it is a dark vowel (a, o, u) its different from a bright vowel (e, i). I thought, there could be an analogie. =) Ok, thank you for your answer!!

Thank you lot for this, but I'm still confused about the て form of verbs like する or しる. Because the former's て form is して、 and latter's is しって。That means that する is a *Ru* verb, and しる is an *U* verb but they don't follow the vowel rule.

Correct me if I am wrong... Here what I learn from your lesson is dividing "る“ and "う" verbs..that point you given for their identification was so easy to make it understand but when you did talk about exception, how I see that is the second identification for "う"verb. 1: when a,u,o comes after a consonant it is "う" verb . 2: when 2 vowels come together (it can be any vowels) it is "う"verbs.
@justinfufun54835 жыл бұрын
I think it depends on the first vowel . If it's 1, 3 or 5 then it's u but if the first vowel is 2 or 4 it's a ru so it's not really an exception. 1 being あ 2 being い etc etc.
