Processing keyword: Verb つもり (〜tsumori)
Expressing intentions and plans is a crucial aspect of communication in any language. In Japanese, one common way to convey your intentions is by using the grammar pattern Verb + つもり. This pattern allows you to express what you plan or intend to do, similar to saying "I intend to..." or "I'm planning to..." in English.
The grammar point Verb + つもり is used to indicate the speaker's intention or plan to perform a certain action. It emphasizes a decision or determination to do something.
To form this pattern, use the dictionary form of the verb followed by つもり. Formation:
Verb (Dictionary Form) + つもり
Verb (Dictionary Form) | + つもり | Meaning |
---|---|---|
行く (iku) | 行くつもり | I intend to go |
食べる (taberu) | 食べるつもり | I plan to eat |
勉強する (benkyou suru) | 勉強するつもり | I intend to study |
見る (miru) | 見るつもり | I plan to watch/look |
To express the intention not to do something, use the ない-form of the verb before つもり. Formation:
Verb (ない-Form) + つもり
Example:
While both つもり and 予定 (よてい) can be translated as "plan" or "intend," they have subtle differences:
Grammar Point | Usage | Example | Meaning |
---|---|---|---|
Verb + つもり | Personal intention | 明日、勉強するつもりです。 | I plan to study tomorrow. |
Noun + の + 予定 | Scheduled plan/event | 来週、旅行の予定があります。 | I have a trip scheduled next week. |
