Japanese verb conjugation

Japanese (日本語) is spoken by over 120 million people in Japan. The Japanese language is written with a combination of three scripts: Chinese characters called kanji, and two syllabic scripts hiragana and katakana.

The Latin script (rōmaji) is also often used in modern Japanese, especially for company names and logos, advertising, romanization of Japanese characters, and when entering Japanese text into a computer.

This Japanese Verb Conjugator requires that verbs are entered in Latin script:

The conjugated verb forms are written in romaji, hiragana, and Kanji. Note that the same romaji/hiragana spelling can have more than one kanji representation, depending on the meaning.
