Most noun or adjective kun'yomi are two to three syllables long, while verb kun'yomi are more often one or two syllables in length (not counting trailing hiragana called okurigana, although those are usually considered part of the reading). Together with their okurigana, if any, they generally function either as a noun or as an inflected adjective or verb: e.g. wikipedia.qwika.com /wiki/Kanji   (3658 words)

Encyclopédie :: Okurigana   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) Les okurigana (送り仮名, littéralement « kana qui accompagnent ») sont des kana nécessaires à la conjugaison et la différenciation de prononciation de certains kanji. Dans la conjugaison japonaise, les okurigana sont les kana que l'on trouve après la partie écrite en kanji (et donc en général invariable) des verbes et des adjectifs verbaux. Le système éducatif japonais a instauré un usage stricte des okurigana mais parfois on verra par exemple 受け付け (uketsuke, réception) écrit le plus souvent 受付 sur les pancartes (la prononciation est la même). www.encyclopedie.cc /Okurigana   (361 words)

Orthographic Variation in Japanese One of the most important types of orthographic variation in Japanese occurs in kana endings, called 送り仮名 okurigana, that are attached to a kanji base or stem, as shown in Table 2. Because usage is often unpredictable, they are a nuisance in any kind of Japanese language processing When normalizing Japanese orthographic variants, special attention must be given to register all okurigana variants. Japanese is written in a mixture of four scripts: kanji (Chinese characters), two syllabic scripts called hiragana and katakana, and romaji (the Latin alphabet). www.kanji.org /cjk/reference/japvar.htm   (938 words)

[No title] A loose starting guideline for this category would be that kanji occurring alone, excepting okurigana, or trailing kana, are read using the kun'yomi. When referencing the kun'yomi reading of a character, the okurigana commonly remains attached, separated from the kanji character reading by a period. One should be aware that there are no steadfast rules for predicting the proper reading of a kanji, unless, of course, there is only one reading. www.japanesepod101.com /wp-content/themes/japanesepod/kanjicorner_explanation.php   (229 words)

Question about Kun-yomi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) There are some "regular" exceptions to this, such transitive/intrasitive pairs like 加わる/加える where the first mora of the okurigana isn't obviously part of the inflected portion. Transitive and intransitive pairs inflect in a less predictable and obvious way since there is no hard and fast rule, but because going from transitive to intransitive is a kind of inflection in a sense, the kana that mark that aspect of the verb take the form of okurigana. Similarly, the noun form of a verb that is made by using the verb stem can also be thought of as an inflection, and so the kana that mark it as such are written as okurigana. www.crisscross.com /jp/forum/m_704970/tm.htm   (1368 words)
