KHOa(¥ - 1 - ( Kanji for Verbs - 11 -)
Each Kanji has its own meaning. It can function as a noun, adjective, verb etc. in sentences.   What do you think is the function of the following kanji ?
Fill
&        ff *
rfAj   and are nouns.   r0fj   functions as an adjective and
rMj (to buy) as a verb. However, Kanji can not be used alone as an adjective or a verb. Some Hiragana endings always follow and they are called 'OKURIGANA (inflectional endings)'.
ff   —   $fLA> new M   -*   Ml   /   M^i-f      to buy
Using the above four Kanji, let's make some sentences.
&t±ff LA^£1V£ LfZo       I bought a new book. &<D#\£%rL< &^"ei~o My book is not new.
IZJI^trMoT < £f$^o Please buy me a book.
