Is plain form for 分かる both active and passive?

Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, I should have been a bit more clear that when I said “potential verbs” I wasn’t referring only to “verbs in potential form” but also to verbs where potentiality (is that a word?) is part of their definition. 見える, for example, is one of those words. Which is why you won’t see it in potential as 見えられる :slight_smile:
