Japanese

Etymology

From た (ta-), the stem of the desiderative suffix たい (tai, classical たし), and the suffix がる (-garu).

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): [ta̠ɡa̠ɾɯ̟ᵝ]
  • In Tokyo speech, the accent of the verb construction falls on the ga mora in the suffix, regardless of the accent type of the suffixed verb.[1] Example: つくりたが​る [tsùkúrítáɡáꜜrù] (Nakadaka)

Suffix

たがる • (-tagaru) godan (stem たがり (-tagari), past たがった (-tagatta))

  1. seem to want to

Usage notes

Attaches to the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verbs. See たい (-tai) and がる (-garu).

The suffix たい (-tai) is used exclusively to talk about the speaker's own wants. When describing the wants of someone else, the suffix たがる (-tagaru) is used instead.

This word is morphologically an inflectional suffix. It is classified as 助動詞 (jodōshi, “auxiliary verb”) in traditional Japanese grammar.
