As I’ve been doing Wanikani, I’ve kinda picked up an instinct for telling if a verb is transitive or intransitive, but learning the forms of “to cook” really threw me for a loop:
焼ける - intransitive
焼く - transitive
Am I the only one that would have guessed that would be the other way around? Are there more exceptions I should be aware of?
Always remember the golden rule in Japanese: All rules have exceptions, including this one.
Yeah, probably a good rule for every language (though there’s probably some exceptional language with no exceptions)
Esperanto, probably.
抜く and 抜ける are the same.
欠く and 欠ける
裂く and 裂ける
解く and 解ける
Thank you! I knew you would reply with a bunch of examples
