Etymology[edit]
Compound of 受け身 (ukemi, “passivity; passive voice”) + 形 (kei, “shape, form; grammatical form”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
- the passive form or conjugation of a verb
Usage notes[edit]
Often glossed in bilingual dictionaries as passive voice. This is somewhat misleading, as "passive voice" can be used to describe a text more broadly, whereas 受身形 (ukemikei) refers more specifically to the 形 (kei) or conjugated form of a verb.
