This is something that has been bugging me for a while. On my language module, I was taught that transitive verbs were the ones that made a bridge to the object – ie: I read a book, and intransitive the ones that didn’t make a bridge like ‘I crouched’.
But on Anki verb decks, when asked ‘is this transitive/intransitive’ when I try to apply this to my answers, it keeps turning out backwards.
Is there some difference between the japanese and english definitions of transitive and intransitive verbs, or am I doing something wrong?
AnonymousCan you give us a specific example?
I would agree that examples would help.
That said, this may help in any case:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_verb
It gives examples in both English and Japanese.
