In this podcast I give a detailed explanation of the verb 知る (“shiru”) which means “To know” in Japanese.

I talk about some of the main verb conjugations, and then give some examples which can be used in daily conversation (ex: 知るわけない, “shiru wake nai”)

Dictionary form: 知る (shiru)

Negative form: 知らない (shiranai)

Masu form: 知ります (shirimasu)

Te-form: 知って (shitte)

Past (ta) form: 知った (shitta)

Potential form: 知れる (shireru)

Volitional form: 知ろう (shirou)

“maybe ~”: 〜かもしれない（~ka mo shirenai) [also written as かも知れない]

would be superb to have concise lecture notes, hiragana and kanji would suffice, english commentary can be safely typed down from hearing. 🙂
