Okurigana



Okurigana (送り仮名, literally "accompanying letters") are kana suffixes following kanji stems in Japanese written words. Generally used to inflect an adjective or verb, okurigana can indicate aspect (perfective/imperfective), affirmative/negative meaning, or grammatical politeness, among many other functions.
