In the level 1 vocabulary, WaniKani has this sample sentence
下に下りてきてください。=
Please come down.
I would have expected 「…下ってきてください」 —can someone tell me the name of the verb for for 「くだり」masu-stem? and/or when that form of a verb is used with 来る?
Thank you all. I did not recognize the て―form. So it is as was kindly pointed out.
The problem for me was that I thought t the verb was 下る (くだる)for which the てーform is くだって。For おりる、I am more used to the kanji 降りる。The てーform is thus 降りて (or as noted, 下りて)。It was not some unusual grammatical verb “form” (misspelled in original query). Patience and explanation both appreciated.
Gratefully, Tony (tgorman).
I thought I would look this up to understand the difference between the two kanji, and Wiktionary helpfully (?) states: “The kanji usage of 降りる versus 下りる (both pronounced おりる and with very similar meanings of “to lower (oneself)”) is somewhat delicate.”
So now it is even more intriguing! Can anyone shed further light?
