Well played, crow. Well played

大 means 'big.' It's used as the place name for Omiya station.

犬 the extra stroke exactly where the crow is standing changes the meaning to 'dog.' So now it's dog-o-miya station.

This crow understands Japanese and is a genius prankster.

Hi, is there any way you suggest so I could learn verbs & how they function exactly? I tend to get confused usually, I luv your blog btw❤️

Hello! Thank you for your question and for reading my blog! It means a lot to me! :) ❤️

Let's see. I believe the key to learning grammar is to first memorize the grammar structure that you have to learn, and then proceed to search for as many examples as you could until you feel confident enough to make your own sentences! Don't get discouraged if they are a bit forced(in such sense that Japanese will choose other ways to write the sentence), that's because your brain is still thinking in your first language! With time, advancing through the foreign language and discovering its own unique points will help you develop your intuition on what sounds as being correct and what doesn't.

When it comes to verbs, you'll have to retain the three groups that verbs come in: Godan, Ichidan and Irregular Verbs. For a better and easier understanding, they are also referred as Group I, II and III verbs. The attributed group of a verb is judged by the last one or two characters that the verbs end in.

GODAN (GROUP I) : う、く、す、つ、ぬ、む、る; ぐ、ぶ

例: 買う、着く、貸す、待つ、死ぬ、産む、売る; 脱ぐ、遊ぶ

ICHIDAN (GROUP II) : える、いる

例: 食べる 、借りる

⚠️GODAN VERBS confused as ICHIDAN VERBS and how to differentiate between them : 帰る(KAERU), 喋る(SHABERU), 入る(HAIRU). The prime method of telling the difference is by looking at the KANJI and what characters it encompasses. Usually, Ichidan Verbs has its endings written apart from the kanji: 変える(kaeru), whereas Godan Verbs encircles the え and い: 帰る(kaeru). Sometimes this rule won't apply, like in the case of 着る (kiru/to wear), which is an Ichidan Verb so the dictionary is the best call because it states the type of verb that you are dealing with.

IRREGULAR VERBS (GROUP III) : する、来る(kuru)

〔Note: Those are the only two irregular verbs〕

––––––––––––––––

Since we have cleared that out of the way, we must now come to learn the verb tenses, which are only two: PRESENT and PAST. Both have AFFIRMATIVE and NEGATIVE values.

PRESENT AFFIRMATIVE (dictionary form)

GODAN: 買う(kau)

ICHIDAN: 食べる(taberu)

IRREGULAR: する、来る(kuru)

PRESENT NEGATIVE

GODAN(う + わない/あない) : 買わない(kawanai)、 着かない(tsukanai)、 待たない(matanai)

ICHIDAN(える、いる + ない) : 食べない(tabenai)、借りない(karinai)

IRREGULAR: しない、来ない(konai)

PAST AFFIRMATIVE

GODAN ( う/る/つ + った ; く/ぐ + いた/いだ ; す + した ; ぬ/む/ぶ + んだ) : 買った(kau/katta)、売った(uru/utta)、待った(matsu/matta)、着いた(tsuku/tsuita)、脱いだ(nugu/nuida)、貸した(kasu/kashita)、死んだ(shinu/shinda)、産んだ(umu/unda)、遊んだ(asobu/asonda)

ICHIDAN(える、いる + た) : 食べた(taberu/tabeta)、借りた(kariru/karita)

IRREGULAR: した、来た(kita)

PAST NEGATIVE (same conjugation as Present Negative, but instead of ない, you use なかった)

GODAN: 買わなかった(kawanakatta)、着かなかった(tsukanakatta)、待たなかった(matanakatta)

ICHIDAN: 食べなかった(tabenakatta)、借りなかった(karinakatta)

IRREGULAR: しなかった、来なかった(konakatta)

⚠️ The PRESENT tense that you are taught as being PRESENT actually has a FUTURE value when used in sentences(90% of the time, at least, as I have yet to delve deeper into it, but most Japanese I have had conversations with, they all have taught me that this is the primary usage). If you wish to express that an action is happening at the moment of speaking or at this point in time, you HAVE to use the ~ている conjugation.

Let's take the Group III verb 勉強する(benkyousuru) as an example:

PRESENT: 日本語を勉強している。

I am studying Japanese.

FUTURE: 日本語を勉強する。

I will study Japanese.

If you(or anybody else at that matter) have any more questions, please do ask! I can explain more about verbs(the difference between simple past tense and the ~ていた conjugation; or the formal ~ます conjugation; transitive/intransitive verbs) and some other things, too! I love to be of help. :)

And never forget to learn languages as a way of having fun! Learn it like a child would do! Speak with people, listen to audios, watch movies in the specific language and it'll come easy for you to understand its uniqueness in no time!

お疲れ様です!
