How to Use Verbs of Change in Japanese
How to Use Verbs of Change in Japanese There are many verbs that express change in Japanese. The most basic one is, naru (to become). The verb naru is used in [Noun ni naru] and [basic Verb you ni naru]. "~ Ni Naru" Michiko wa kyonen bengoshi ni narimashita. é “å 㠯åŽ »Ã¥ ¹ ´Ã¥ ¼ è ·Ã¥ £ «Ã£ «Ã£ ªÃ£â€šÅ 㠾ã â€"ã Ÿ.Michiko became a lawyer last year.Yamada-sensei wa rainen kouchou ni narimasu. Ã¥ ± ±Ã§â€ °Ã¥â€¦Ë†Ã§â€Å¸Ã£ ¯Ã¦ ¥Ã¥ ¹ ´Ã¦ ¡Ã©â€¢ ·Ã£ «Ã£ ªÃ£â€šÅ 㠾㠙。Mr. Yamada will become principal next year.Tomoko wa hirou no tame, byouki ni narimashita. æ™ ºÃ¥ 㠯çâ€" ²Ã¥Å ´Ã£ ®Ã£ Ÿã‚ 〠çâ€"…æ °â€"㠫㠪ã‚Š㠾ã â€"㠟。 Tomoko became sick from fatigue.Mada natsu ni narimasen. 㠾ã Ã¥ ¤ 㠫㠪ã‚Š㠾㠛ん。 Summer has not yet come. In these sentences, the words, bengoshi kouchou byouki and natsu all express the resulting state. As for the fourth example, the subject is omitted. Natures seasonal changes, such as it getting hotter and spring arriving, are described using naru. For example, natsu ni narimashita Ã¥ ¤ 㠫㠪ã‚Š㠾ã â€"ã Ÿ, which literally means, it has become summer. The English expression would be summer has come. Change in Adjectives Change in state may be expressed not only by nouns, as seen in the examples above, but also by adjectives. When accompanied by adjectives, they take adverbial form. As for the I-adjective, replace the final ~ i with ~ ku to make the adverbial form. Ookii Ã¥ ¤ §Ã£ ã „ (big) ookiku (naru) Ã¥ ¤ §Ã£ ã (㠪ã‚‹)Atarashii æâ€" °Ã£ â€"ã „ (new) - atarashiku (naru) æâ€" °Ã£ â€"ã (㠪ã‚‹)Atsui æš‘ã „ (hot) - atsuku (naru) æš‘ã (㠪ã‚‹)Yasui Ã¥ ®â€°Ã£ „ (cheap) - yasuku (naru) Ã¥ ®â€°Ã£ (㠪ã‚‹) As for Na-adjective, replace the final ~ na with ~ ni. Kireina ã ã‚Å'ã „ã ª (pretty) kireini (naru) ã ã‚Å'㠄㠫㠪ã‚‹Yuumeina æÅ"‰å ã ª (famous) - yuumeini (naru) æÅ"‰å ã «(㠪ã‚‹)Genkina å…Æ'æ °â€"ã ª (healthy) - genkini (naru) å…Æ'æ °â€"ã «(㠪ã‚‹)Shizukana é ™ã ‹ã ª (quiet) - shizukani (naru) é ™ã ‹ã «(㠪ã‚‹) Here are some examples with adjectives: Koinu wa sugu ni ookiku narimasu.

"~ You Ni Naru" ~ you ni naru usually indicates a gradual change.

"~ Koto Ni Naru" While, ~ you ni naru describes a shift or change, focusing on the result itself, ~ koto ni naru is often used when someones decision, or an arrangement, is involved. It translates to, it will be decided that ~; come about ~; turn out that ~. Even if the speaker decides to do something, it sounds more indirect and more humble to use this structure rather than using, koto ni suru (decide to do).
