ha, COINCIDENTALLY ENOUGH i just got back to the section in my book that first introduces transitive/intransitive verbs. XD i remembered seeing your post before and was like OH HEY I SHOULD GO BACK AND COMMENT ON THAT!
let me say. i h8 them. XD XD XD
it's not the transitive vs intransitive thing... i'm okay with that. sometimes i do get a little mixed up but like, yeah i'm familiar with that as a grammar point so it's okay. but what annoys me is having to learn the different forms for each of them hahaha. my book just throws like 22 transitive/intransitive verb pairs or something at me in a table and is like "ok now you've fully memorized them all right?" XD XD at least there are SOME general patterns that are often followed btwn the two but then there are exceptions to those patterns too haha. like right, as you mention, intransitive verbs that end in -aru have a transitive pair that ends in -eru but then there are some intransitive ones that end in -eru too just to fuck with me haha. at least the transitive pairs of all of THOSE ones (in this table, i've got 出る・消える・ねる・こわれる) end in -su so... that's helpful i guess... and only intransitive ones in this table end in -ku altho i def wouldn't stake my life on extending that as a general rule LMAO. i probably just need more practice with ALL OF THEM to actually learn them all, lol.
