Usage notes[edit]

  • Regularity is mostly noted as to whether the six 活用形 (katsuyōkei, inflectional forms) of verbs deviate too much from an expected pattern or not. Even among the so-called "regular" verbs, there are still slight irregularities. See 下さる (kudasaru), 行く (iku) and 問う (tou) which have such irregularities.
