勇む does not state whether it's transitive or intransitive

This word is only listed as a godan verb but is not labelled as transitive or intransitive and I only found out it was intransitive by looking it up myself on jisho, so it might be useful to add that as a label.

@Mods what do you say?

I’m not sure I agree that this is equivalent to “intransitive” in English grammar. It seems to me that it’s neither, and that’s why it’s often classified as simply “godan” in Japanese grammar, not transitive or intransitive. This is a really good topic!

P.S: Also one of my least/most favourite fictional characters.

Take a look at the jisho.org entry

Jisho.org: Japanese Dictionary

Also it doesn’t accept “to encourage” as a correct answer

Thanks for the pings! I’ll bring this up with the content team and I’ll let you know what they say.

学ぶ	5	trans
言う	5	trans/intrans
役に立つ	8	intrans
持つ	9	trans/intrans
楽しむ	10	trans
病む	10	trans/intrans
気付く	11	intrans
間に合う	14	intrans
謝る	13	trans
泣く	15	intrans
勇む	17	intrans

Oh also a lot of する verbs are unlabeled too. Like the vast majority of them, I never checked all of those.

Hey everyone! I have an update from the content team!

• We’ve added the intransitive verb label to the word type of 勇む.
• For other verbs in general, we are planning to review and set rules for when to add those word types, and do an overhaul in the future.
