Will hiragana always be attached after the Kanji it goes to?
I’m wondering, because this seems to be the pattern I’m picking up on.
Only if it’s a verb or い-adjective. And even then, not always – every rule in Japanese has exceptions, including this one. =)
Attached hiragana is called “okurigana”, and it’s used to indicate verb and adjective conjugations and whatnot. Nouns don’t have it (though you will regularly encounter nouns written in kana, and even sometimes partially written in kana).
