Okay.
Potential Form To make the potential form, start with the plain form of the verb. For -u verbs, change the -u to -eru. For example, 飲む (nomu, to drink) becomes 飲める (nomeru, to be able to drink). For -ru verbs, change the -ru to -rareru. For example, 食べる (taberu, to eat) becomes 食べられる (taberareru, to be able to eat). The new verb is always a -ru verb, so the negative potential forms are 飲めない (nomenai, to be unable to drink) and 食べられない (taberarenai, to be unable to eat). The normal polite formations for -ru verbs apply too, so you might have 飲めます or 食べられません. There are two exceptions to the rule: The potential form of する (suru, to do) is 出来る (dekiru, to be able to do). The potential form of 来る (kuru, to come) is 来られる (korareru, to be able to come). [Aside: While 行く (iku, to go) is considered an irregular verb like suru and kuru, it is regular here -- its potential form is 行ける (ikeru, to be able to go.)] Edit: So when you hear someone say "yamerarenai!", you can see that they mean "yameru + -rareru", meaning "I can't quit!" or "I can't give up!"

Quote:
to be able to return) This case also functions as a -ru verb. 諦める(akirameru - to give up)→諦められない(akiramerarenai - to be unable to give up)→諦めれない(akiramerenai - to be unable to give up) It should also be noted that you do not use the direct object particle を(wo/o) with the potential form. Instead, use は(ha/wa) or が(ga). 扉が開けた (Tobira ga aketa - I/He/She/It was able to open the door/gate) 日本語が話せる (Nihongo ga hanaseru - I/He/She/It can speak Japanese) | ||||

*nods* Arkhelist is correct about the slang formations and particle use. I probably should have mentioned the particle issues in my lesson!

Yup. It's just nice (and sort of amusing) that it's there that way.

Well, the thread has dropped to page two, so time to post some more song lyrics! XD This is a song I first heard before I learned Japanese but I fell in love with it.

There's not a whole lot of surprising grammar here, so you should be able to follow the translation for the vocabulary. The only thing that might be an unknown is "nareba", which is "naru" (to become) + -eba (conditional form). It might be more directly translated as "if it becomes tomorrow", but it can also mean "when". Games by Coda (updated 4/15/2024 - New game: Call of Aether)
