    Terve Jenniina, (1) Verbs that end with -ru (For example 食べる and 信じる) *To say "verbs that end with -ru" may be misleading, because there are some verbs that end with -ru but conjugated in pattern (2), like "kiru". Verbs that contains "-eru" ("tab-e-ru") are conjugated like this: "tab-e-ru" 食べる tab-e-nai tab-e-te/masu tab-e-ru tab-e-ru-toki (+ Noun) tab-e-re-ba tab-e-ro "yas-e-ru" 痩せる yas-e-nai yas-e-te/masu yas-e-ru yas-e-ru-toki (+ Noun) yas-e-re-ba yas-e-ro Verbs that contains "-iru" ("sinj-i-ru") are conjugated like this: "sinj-i-ru"　信じる sinj-i-nai sinj-i-te/masu sinj-i-ru sinj-i-ru-toki (+ Noun) sinj-i-re-ba sinj-i-ro "m-i-ru"　見る m-i-nai m-i-te/masu m-i-ru m-i-ru-toki (+ Noun) m-i-re-ba m-i-ro (2) Verbs that end with -u (For example 話すand 聞く) These use all the five vowels in verb conjugation. "hanas-u" 話す hanas-a-nai hanas-i-te/masu hanas-u hanas-u-toki (+ Noun) hanas-e-ba hanas-e "kik-u"　聞く kik-a-nai *kik-i-masu --> "k" is deleted in -te form: "ki-i-te kik-u kik-u-toki (+ Noun) kik-e-ba kik-e "kir-u" 切る kir-a-nai kir-i-masu --> "ri" is changed in -te form: "ki-t-te" kir-u kir-u-toki (+ Noun) kir-e-ba kir-e (3) Other verbs (する and 来る) These are irregular verbs. "suru" する si-nai si-masu/te suru suru-toki (+ Noun) sure-ba siro "kuru" 来る ko-nai ki-masu/te kuru kuru-toki (+ Noun) kure-ba --

    キス(kisu), based on the English word "kiss", is the most colloquial of the three. We don't use the other two in everyday conversation. You may see and hear 口づけ (kuchizuke) in lyrics or narrative lines. You'll see 接吻 in some old literature (like those from early Showa, Taisho, Meiji) or modern novels about those old periods. These days, another colloquial word, "chuu (-suru)", is widely used, especially among younger people. It's used less seriously than "kisu(-suru)".

    If you like Japanese manga (translated in many languages, I think), it'll be helpful to read the Japanese version.

    안녕하세요!! 제 이름은 야마으치 마리입니다.  
    (I'd like to learn how to use various endings like "-구요" some day!) 
    일본에서`영어를 가르치고 있어요. 나도 매일 바빠요...
    I've been learning Korean for a while, but just from time to time, maybe a few days a year :-)
    이 사이틀 찾아냈기 때문에 I'll study and practice Korean more often! (hopefully)

    By the way, 질문이 하나  있습니다.  (I'll give up using Korean here. )
    I think I've heard  there's a Korean proverb meaning like "It's important to get started; When you've started, you're halfway there", and it starts with "시작하면...".

    I can't remember it though I liked it :-(  Could anyone help me?
