@CK. When I make vocabulary cards I add all possible grammar forms
and I have done a few for i-adjectives to far. As for verbs, it is on the to
do list but since there is still so much to add to Nihongo Ichiban I don’t
know yet when it will be ready.

Until then, it would be great if someone else knows how to help on this
one.

Very useful list. Out of interest – are the verbs needed for each level
published somewhere? Or is this list done from experience. Thanks

My wife tells me “forget” should be “wasureru”. It would probably help a few

students to correct this mistake.

entries. I checked in dictionaries, those entries does not exist.

かける kakeru to wear

かける kakeru to make a phone call

Please Confirm.
