Grammar notes 32

Lesson 32 deals mainly with feelings and desires, but for people that aint me. Also included is something along the lines of "it seems like". But first let's get the oddities sorted out.

Passive form of verbs can be used to show respect, the passive form of する is される. I have seen the pattern of a regular verb with a れ inserted to the left of the rightmost character, I beleive this is passive but I'm sure any rule is covered later.

度に(たびに) is another variation of when, but this variant is used for reoccurent events, like アレックは日本語を書く度に書き間違う, sad but true. As illustrated in the example this object is used directly after a verb in base 3.

The verb がる will transform a proceeding adjective (describing noun or verb) into a godan verb. The process of adding this is to remove the final い, and just tack it on in the correct form. 例えば飲みたいは飲みたがるになるや痛いは痛がるになる

"Seems like" is formed by attaching a structure at the end of a sentance.

• らしい goes after anything.

The following words can be descriped as nominalizers and nouns. They will therefore require a verb (probably ある/いる) placed afterwards. I'm not in a hurry to try でしょう though. They should be added after verbs in conjunctive form (base 2, ta or te), or base of desciptive verbs and nouns.

• よう Can be used after a verb to imply an imminent event.
  
• そう Gives the impression of more certainality, cannot be used in past.
  
• みたい That habit of writing 見たい? Get rid of it :)

A state of uncertainality can also be implied. I've been using these a lot without any real clue on thier meaning. Another usage is for sympthaty, 多岐川様はアレックの下手日本語読むのは難しいでしょう

• だろう plain
• でしょう polite
