Taeko Kamiya, “The Handbook of Japanese Verbs (動詞 dōshi)”, Part #1.

­Japanese and English

Andrew Nelson, “Japanese-English Character Dictionary (revised edition)”, 1997. was the topic of an earlier blog post. 

Here I present:  Taeko Kamiya, “The Handbook of Japanese Verbs”, 2001 was a monograph of Japanese verbs.  Verbs 動詞 “dōshi” (in the Japanese language) are what gives a speaker power in that language.

In the table below, I  list 24 “verb phrases” in both Japanese and English.  “Furigana” is a Japanese super-script written above kanji to indicate pronunciation.  “Furigana” is almost always written in hiragana-script.  “Hiragana” script for kanji reqiure the “analysis’ of kanji (counting strokes in the character).  This means verb conjugation reqiures an ability to look-up kanji by either “radical-qualifier” or “stroke-count”.   Written Japanese that has the kanji “furigana” superscript and hiragane elsewhere in

in a sentence is easy to read.
