Kureru – Grammar break down
When asking to do something for you, using the verb くれるkureru is really helpful. Here are a few examples of how you can use it.
1) Noun + kureru = Please give me something
Simple say the thing you want followed by kureru like this:
a) 水くれる – Mizu kureru – Could you give me some water?
b) 本くれる – Hon kureru – Could you give me the book?
2) Noun + shite kureru
You can create a lot of verbs using a noun + shite. For example, sōji means cleaning but sōji shite means, do the cleaning. Add kureru to the end and you can ask people to carry out actions for you like this:
a) 掃除してくれる – Sōji shite kureru – Could you do the cleaning for me?
b) 予約してくれる – Yoyaku shite kureru – Could you make a reservation for me?
c) 注文してくれる – Chuumon shite kureru – Could you order for me?
d)  い物してくれる – Kaimono shite kureru – Could you do some shopping for me?
3) ~TE form verbs + Kureru
You can use the TE form of a verb + kureru to ask people to do things for you like this:
a) 作ってくれる – Tsukutte kureru – Can you make it for me?
b)  ってくれる – Katte kureru – Can you buy it for me?
c) やってくれる – Yatte kureru – Can you make it for me?
Note:
Don’t forget:
1) Using kureru is casual
2) It should be used between friends and family
3) If you are using kureru to ask someone to do a favor for you, remember to make the intonation of your voice go up at the end to show it’s a question.]]>https://podcast.learnjapanesepod.com/?p=317Wed, 16 Jun 2021 00:05:04 +0000Alex BrookeIn this lesson you’ll learn how to use the verb kureru.
