Basics
● Reference for Japanese verb form
" 一段動詞 " is a verb whose stem ends in [i] or [e], and " ない " is added in negative form.
Ex. 着る／着ない
増え る／増えない
切る／切 ら ない

*1： For EJ, a noun cannot be specified as an irregular noun. When adding an irregular noun, add
the singular form as an uncountable noun ("7") and the plural form as a plural noun ("8")
respectively.
Ex. おま わり さ ん policeman 7 13
*2： For a compound noun in which a word other than the last changes its form, specify it as an
"Irregular noun." In the above case, for example, specify "books of account" as the plural
form.
● Japanese negative form
Check or select the negative form of the Japanese word to be added.
ATLAS displays a likely negative form based on the form entered in the [Japanese (Verb)] entry
box. If ATLAS has failed to select the correct negative form, several options are displayed from
which you can select the appropriate one.
If you enter " かえる " in the [Japanese (Verb)] entry box, for example, two negative forms, " か
えない " and " かえ ら ない ," are displayed. Select the one you prefer. (In this case, " かえ ら な
い " is displayed in the [Japanese (Negative Form)] entry box by default. To specify another
option, select it from the list box.) If the displayed [Japanese (Negative Form)] is wrong, check
that the [Japanese (Verb)] box has been entered correctly.
