Understanding 「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru)
The Japanese verb 「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru) is a fundamental expression used to describe the action of bringing someone to the speaker's location. It's composed of the verb 「連れる」(tsureru), meaning 'to bring along' or 'to take with,' and the verb 「来る」(kuru), meaning 'to come.' When combined, they create a direct and clear way to convey the idea of leading or escorting a person to where you are.
- Core Meaning
- To bring someone to the speaker's current location.
- Etymology
- Combines 「連れる」(tsureru - to bring along) and 「来る」(kuru - to come).
This verb is incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide range of social situations, from casual gatherings with friends to more formal introductions. It implies that the speaker is actively involved in guiding or accompanying the person being brought. Think of it as an active form of 'bringing' someone, as opposed to them simply arriving on their own.
For instance, if you are hosting a party and a friend arrives with another person, your friend might say, 「友達を連れてきました」(Tomodachi o tsuretekimashita) - 'I brought a friend.' Or, if you are asking someone to come to your house, you might say, 「誰か連れてきてください」(Dareka tsuretekite kudasai) - 'Please bring someone.' The context is always about the movement of a person *towards* the speaker or the speaker's group.
Parent's dialogue: 「誰か友達を連れてくる？」 (Dareka tomodachi o tsuretekuru?)
Understanding the directionality of movement is crucial. 「連れてくる」 specifically implies movement towards the speaker. This nuance is important for accurate communication in Japanese. It's a verb you'll hear frequently in everyday conversations about social plans, family visits, and introductions.
Consider a scenario where you're introducing a new colleague to your team. You might say, 「新しいメンバーを連れてきました」(Atarashii menbā o tsuretekimashita) - 'I've brought the new member.' This clearly indicates that the new member has arrived at your workplace, where you are speaking. The act of bringing them is highlighted.
Another common use is when planning to meet someone. If you ask, 「誰か一緒に連れてきていいですか？」(Dareka issho ni tsuretekite ii desu ka?) - 'Is it okay if I bring someone along?' the implication is that you will bring that person to the location where the conversation is happening or where the meeting is planned.
The verb 「連れてくる」 is a transitive verb, meaning it takes a direct object, which is the person being brought. This object is typically marked with the particle 「を」(o).
In summary, 「連れてくる」 is your go-to verb when you want to express the act of bringing someone to your current location. It's about movement towards the speaker and is a vital part of everyday Japanese conversation.
Constructing Sentences with 「連れてくる」
Using 「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru) correctly in a sentence involves understanding its grammatical structure and common patterns. As a verb, it conjugates like other Japanese verbs, and its meaning is directly tied to the act of bringing someone to the speaker's location. The particle 「を」(o) is typically used to mark the person being brought.
The basic structure is: [Person being brought] + を (o) + 連れてくる (tsuretekuru).
- Basic Structure
- [Someone] + を (o) + 連れてくる (tsuretekuru)
- Conjugations
- The verb conjugates into various tenses and politeness levels, such as 連れてきます (tsuretekimasu - polite present/future) and 連れてきた (tsuretekita - plain past).
Here are some common ways 「連れてくる」 is used:
1. Present/Future Tense (Polite): Used for current actions or future plans.
友達を連れてきます。(Tomodachi o tsuretekimasu.)
2. Past Tense (Polite): Used for actions completed in the past.
妹を連れてきました。(Imōto o tsuretekimashita.)
3. Te-form (for requests or ongoing actions): The 「〜てきて」 form is very common for making requests.

5. Negative Form: Indicates not bringing someone.
子供を連れてこないでください。(Kodomo o tsuretekonaide kudasai.)
It's also common to hear variations where the direct object is implied by context. For example, if you're in your home and someone asks if you're bringing guests, you might simply reply, 「はい、連れてきます。」(Hai, tsuretekimasu.) - 'Yes, I will bring them.' The 'them' is understood.
When asking someone to bring a guest, you might say, 「誰か連れてきてもいいですか？」(Dareka tsuretekite mo ii desu ka?) - 'Is it okay if I bring someone?' This is a polite way to seek permission.
The verb can also be used in conjunction with other grammatical structures to express more complex ideas. For example, to express the purpose of bringing someone:

Mastering these sentence patterns will allow you to use 「連れてくる」 effectively in various conversational contexts.
Real-World Usage of 「連れてくる」
You'll encounter 「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru) frequently in everyday Japanese conversations, especially when people are discussing social plans, family matters, or introducing new people. Its direct meaning of 'to bring someone here' makes it indispensable for describing movement towards the speaker's location.
Here are some common scenarios where you'll hear this verb:
- Social Gatherings
- When inviting friends over, planning a party, or meeting up. For example, someone might ask, 「誰か連れてきてもいいですか？」(Dareka tsuretekite mo ii desu ka?) - 'Is it okay if I bring someone?'

- Workplace Interactions
- Bringing a new colleague to a meeting or introducing an intern. A manager might tell an employee, 「新しいインターンを連れてきてください。」(Atarashii intān o tsuretekite kudasai.) - 'Please bring the new intern (to the office/meeting)..'

Instruction: 「会議に同僚を連れてきてください。」(Kaigi ni dōryō o tsuretekite kudasai.)
You'll also hear it in media like Japanese dramas, anime, and movies, often in dialogues related to characters arriving at a location with others. For example, a character might announce, 「新しいメンバーを連れてきました！」(Atarashii menbā o tsuretekimashita!) - 'I've brought new members!'
In casual settings, friends might text each other: 「今から友達連れてくけど、大丈夫？」(Ima kara tomodachi tsureteku kedo, daijōbu?) - 'I'm bringing a friend now, is that okay?' Here, 「連れてく」(tsureteku) is a casual contraction of 「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru).
The verb is also used when discussing bringing pets or even inanimate objects, though it's much more common for people. For example, 「ペットを連れてくるのは禁止です。」(Petto o tsuretekuru no wa kinshi desu.) - 'Bringing pets is prohibited.'
In summary, whenever you hear about someone arriving at a location with another person, and the focus is on the act of bringing them to that specific spot, 「連れてくる」 is the verb you're likely hearing.
Avoiding Pitfalls with 「連れてくる」
While 「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru) is a common verb, learners sometimes make mistakes, often related to its directionality or confusion with similar verbs. Understanding these common errors can help you use the word more accurately.
- Mistake 1: Confusing 「連れてくる」 and 「連れて行く」
- The most frequent mistake is mixing up 「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru - to bring *here*) and 「連れて行く」(tsureteiku - to take *there*). Remember that 「くる」(kuru) implies movement towards the speaker's location, while 「いく」(iku) implies movement away from the speaker's location or towards a third location.
- Incorrect:
- 「友達を連れて行く家に遊びに行きました。」(Tomodachi o tsureteiku ie ni asobi ni ikimashita.) - This is incorrect because you are bringing the friend *to* your house (the speaker's location), not taking them away from it.
- Correct:
- 「友達を連れてくる家に遊びに来ました。」(Tomodachi o tsuretekuru ie ni asobi ni kimashita.) - 'I came to my house to play with a friend I brought.' (Implies the friend is now at the speaker's house.) OR 「友達を連れて行く公園に遊びに行きました。」(Tomodachi o tsureteiku kōen ni asobi ni ikimashita.) - 'I went to the park to play with a friend I took.' (Implies the friend is now at the park with the speaker.)
- Mistake 2: Incorrect Particle Usage
- The direct object, the person being brought, should be marked with the particle 「を」(o). Sometimes learners might mistakenly use 「に」(ni) or other particles.
- Incorrect:
- 「先生に連れてくる。」(Sensei ni tsuretekuru.)
- Correct:
- 「先生を連れてくる。」(Sensei o tsuretekuru.) - 'To bring the teacher (here).'
- Mistake 3: Over-reliance on English Word Order
- Japanese sentence structure is flexible, but the verb typically comes at the end. Learners might place the verb too early in the sentence.
- Incorrect:
- 「連れてくる友達。」(Tsuretekuru tomodachi.)
- Correct:
- 「友達を連れてくる。」(Tomodachi o tsuretekuru.) - 'To bring a friend (here).'
- Mistake 4: Not Conjugating Properly
- Forgetting to conjugate the verb to match the tense (past, present, future) or politeness level (polite, casual) can lead to awkward or incorrect sentences.
- Incorrect:
- 「昨日、彼を連れてくる。」(Kinō, kare o tsuretekuru.) - Using the dictionary form for a past event.
- Correct:
- 「昨日、彼を連れてきた。」(Kinō, kare o tsuretekita.) - 'Yesterday, I brought him (here).' (Plain past) OR 「昨日、彼を連れてきました。」(Kinō, kare o tsuretekimashita.) - 'Yesterday, I brought him (here).' (Polite past)
Incorrect: 「家族に連れてくる。」(Kazoku ni tsuretekuru.)
By being mindful of these common mistakes, especially the distinction between 「連れてくる」 and 「連れて行く」 and the correct particle usage, you can significantly improve your accuracy when using this essential verb.
Exploring Alternatives to 「連れてくる」
While 「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru) is the most direct way to say 'to bring someone here,' there are other verbs and expressions that can convey similar meanings, often with slightly different nuances or levels of formality. Understanding these alternatives can enrich your vocabulary and allow for more precise expression.
- 1. 「持ってくる」(mottekuru) - To bring (an object or sometimes a person casually)
- This verb literally means 'to bring (something) by holding it.' While primarily used for objects, it can sometimes be used informally for bringing a person, especially if the emphasis is on the act of carrying something with you. However, 「連れてくる」 is generally preferred for people.
- Example Comparison:
- 「友達を連れてくる」 (Tomodachi o tsuretekuru) - I am bringing a friend (here). (Focus on the person being accompanied/guided)
- 「友達を持ってくる」 (Tomodachi o mottekuru) - (Informal/less common for people) I am bringing a friend (along, perhaps as if they were an item). More natural for items like: 「この本を持ってきてください。」(Kono hon o mottekite kudasai.) - Please bring this book (here).
- 2. 「同伴する」(dōhan suru) - To accompany (formal)
- This is a more formal verb, often used in written contexts or polite speech. It means 'to accompany' or 'to escort.' It implies a more formal or official act of bringing someone along.
- Example Comparison:
- 「顧客を連れてくる」 (Kokyaku o tsuretekuru) - To bring a client (here). (General, can be casual or polite)
- 「顧客を同伴する」 (Kokyaku o dōhan suru) - To escort a client (here). (More formal, implies a specific purpose or duty)
- 3. 「連れて行く」(tsureteiku) - To take (someone there)
- As discussed in common mistakes, this is the direct counterpart to 「連れてくる」. It means 'to take someone away' or 'to bring someone to another location.' The key difference is the direction of movement.
- Example Comparison:
- 「友達を連れてくる」 (Tomodachi o tsuretekuru) - I am bringing a friend (here, to where I am).
- 「友達を連れて行く」 (Tomodachi o tsureteiku) - I am taking a friend (there, away from here).
- 4. 「誘う」(sasou) - To invite
- While not a direct synonym, 「誘う」(sasou) is often related. You invite someone, and then you might 「連れてくる」 them. The invitation precedes the act of bringing.
- Example Comparison:
- 「友達を誘って、うちに連れてきました。」(Tomodachi o sasotte, uchi ni tsuretekimashita.) - 'I invited my friend and brought them to my house.'
- 5. 「連れる」(tsureru) - To bring along, to take with
- This is the base verb from which 「連れてくる」 and 「連れて行く」 are formed. 「連れる」 itself can be used, but it often needs additional context to specify direction or is used in more literary contexts. 「連れてくる」 and 「連れて行く」 are the more common, practical forms.
- Example Comparison:
- 「子供を連れて公園へ行く。」(Kodomo o tsurete kōen e iku.) - 'To go to the park taking the child along.' (Here, 「連れて」 is used as part of a larger verb phrase.)
Context: You are at home. Your friend calls.
Friend: 「今から連れてくよ！」(Ima kara tsureteku yo!)
Choosing the right word depends on the context, formality, and the specific nuance you wish to convey. For everyday conversations about bringing someone to your location, 「連れてくる」 remains the most common and appropriate choice.

अक्सर इससे भ्रम होता है
This is the most common confusion. 'Tsuretekuru' means to bring *here* (towards the speaker), while 'tsureteiku' means to take *there* (away from the speaker or to a third location). Always consider the direction of movement.
Primarily used for bringing objects. While it can be used informally for people, 'tsuretekuru' is the standard and preferred term for bringing people.
'Kuru' simply means 'to come'. 'Tsuretekuru' adds the nuance of bringing someone along, implying accompaniment or escorting.
मुहावरे और अभिव्यक्तियाँ
— A very strong, imperative command to 'Bring them here!' Often used in a forceful or demanding context, sometimes even aggressive.
「早く、あいつを連れてこい！」 (Hayaku, aitsu o tsuretekōi!) - 'Quickly, bring that guy here!'
Informal, forceful— The negative imperative, meaning 'Don't bring them (here)!' or 'Don't come with anyone!'

Informal, demanding— Please don't assume it's a given that you can bring them (here). This is a polite but firm way of setting boundaries.
「ゲストを連れてくるのが当たり前だと思わないでください。事前に許可を取ってください。」 (Guesuto o tsuretekuru no ga atarimae da to omowanai de kudasai. Jizen ni kyoka o totte kudasai.) - 'Please don't assume it's a given that you can bring guests. Get permission in advance.'

Formal, nuancedआसानी से भ्रमित होने वाले
Both verbs involve bringing someone and use the base verb '連れる' (tsureru). The confusion arises from the similar structure and the subtle difference in direction.
「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru) indicates movement *towards* the speaker's location. 「連れて行く」(tsureteiku) indicates movement *away* from the speaker's location or to a different place. Think of 'kuru' as 'come' and 'iku' as 'go'.
友達を<strong>連れてくる</strong>。(Bring a friend *here*.) vs. 友達を<strong>連れて行く</strong>。(Take a friend *there*.)
Both verbs mean 'to bring (something/someone) here'. However, 'mottekuru' is more commonly used for inanimate objects, while 'tsuretekuru' is specifically for animate beings, especially people.
「連れてくる」 is for bringing people or pets, emphasizing accompaniment or escorting. 「持ってくる」 is primarily for objects, or very casually for people, focusing on the act of carrying or holding.
本を<strong>持ってくる</strong>。(Bring the book.) vs. 友達を<strong>連れてくる</strong>。(Bring a friend.)
'Tsuretekuru' is composed of 'tsureru' and 'kuru'. 'Kuru' itself means 'to come'. Learners might simplify and just use 'kuru' when 'tsuretekuru' is more appropriate.
「来る」(kuru) means to come (on one's own). 「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru) means to bring someone *along* with you as you come, or to escort someone here.
友達が<strong>来た</strong>。(A friend came.) vs. 友達を<strong>連れてきた</strong>。(I brought a friend.)
Both verbs can mean to bring someone along, but they differ significantly in formality and nuance.
「連れてくる」 is a general-purpose verb for bringing someone here, suitable for most everyday situations. 「同伴する」 is formal and implies escorting or accompanying someone, often in a more official or ceremonial capacity.
顧客を<strong>連れてくる</strong>。(Bring a client - general) vs. 顧客を<strong>同伴する</strong>。(Escort a client - formal)
Often, the act of bringing someone involves inviting them first. These actions are sequential and related.
「誘う」(sasou) means 'to invite'. 「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru) means 'to bring someone here'. You invite someone, and then you might bring them.
友達を<strong>誘って</strong>、うちに<strong>連れてきた</strong>。(I invited my friend and brought them to my house.)

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
Very High
-
Confusing 'tsuretekuru' (bring here) with 'tsureteiku' (take there).
→
Always determine the direction of movement relative to the speaker.
The core difference is 'kuru' (come) vs. 'iku' (go). If the person is coming towards you, use 'tsuretekuru'. If they are going away from you or to another place, use 'tsureteiku'.
-
Using the wrong particle for the object (e.g., 'ni' instead of 'o').
→
The direct object (person being brought) takes the particle 'を' (o).
The particle 'を' (o) marks the direct object of transitive verbs like 'tsuretekuru'. For example, '友達<strong>を</strong>連れてくる' (tomodachi <strong>o</strong> tsuretekuru). Using 'に' (ni) would be incorrect here.
-
Using the dictionary form 'tsuretekuru' in past tense situations.
→
Conjugate the verb according to the tense required.
If you are talking about bringing someone in the past, use the past tense form, e.g., '連れてきた' (tsuretekita) or '連れてきました' (tsuretekimashita), not the dictionary form '連れてくる'.
-
Using 'tsuretekuru' for inanimate objects.
→
Use 'mottekuru' for objects.
'Tsuretekuru' is for bringing people or animals, implying escorting. 'Mottekuru' is the standard verb for bringing inanimate objects. For example, '本を持ってくる' (hon o mottekuru - bring a book), not '本を連れてくる'.
-
Incorrectly forming requests with the te-form.
→
Use the te-form followed by 'ください' (kudasai) for polite requests.
The te-form of 'tsuretekuru' is 'tsuretekite'. So, to ask someone to bring someone here, say '誰か連れてきてください' (Dareka tsuretekite kudasai).
सुझाव
Mind the Direction!
The most crucial aspect of 'tsuretekuru' is its directionality. Always remember 'kuru' means 'come'. So, 'tsuretekuru' is about bringing someone *to where you are*. If you are taking someone *away* from your location, use 'tsureteiku'.
The 'O' Particle
The person or animal being brought is the direct object and is marked with the particle 'を' (o). Make sure to use 'を' correctly, e.g., '友達を連れてくる'.
Master the Forms
Practice conjugating 'tsuretekuru' into different tenses (past, present, future) and politeness levels (polite, casual). This will allow you to use it accurately in various conversation contexts.
Understand the Situation
The nuance of 'tsuretekuru' can change slightly with context. Is it a casual invitation, a formal introduction, or a necessary escort? Consider the social setting when using the verb.
People vs. Things
While 'mottekuru' can sometimes be used casually for people, it's primarily for objects. Reserve 'tsuretekuru' for bringing people and pets to ensure natural-sounding Japanese.
Asking to Bring Someone
To ask permission, use the te-form '連れてきて' (tsuretekite) + 'もいいですか？' (mo ii desu ka?). For example, '友達を連れてきてもいいですか？' (Is it okay if I bring a friend?).
Know Your Opposites
Always keep 'tsureteiku' (to take someone there) in mind as its direct counterpart. Understanding both will prevent errors related to directionality.
Learn Set Phrases
Familiarize yourself with common phrases like '誰か連れてきてください' (Please bring someone) and '友達を連れてくる' (To bring a friend) to quickly incorporate the verb into your speech.
Practice Pronunciation
Pay attention to the Japanese 'r' sound (a flap) and ensure each syllable is clear. Listen to native speakers and practice saying 'tsuretekuru' to improve your fluency.
Hospitality Matters
In Japanese culture, bringing guests is often an act of hospitality. Using 'tsuretekuru' appropriately shows you understand and respect these social norms.
याद करें
स्मृति सहायक
Imagine you are at your house (the 'kur' in 'tsuretekuru' sounds like 'kur' in 'kur-ee', meaning 'come' in Hindi, or just think of 'kuru' as 'come'). You are calling out to a friend, 'Hey! Come over here! Bring your friend with you!' So, you are bringing your friend 'to come' to your place.
दृश्य संबंध
Picture yourself standing at your front door, holding out your hand to welcome a friend who is walking towards you, perhaps with another person beside them. The word 'tsuretekuru' is like the sound of the door opening and the welcoming gesture.
Word Web
चैलेंज
Try to use 'tsuretekuru' in at least three sentences describing different scenarios where you bring someone to your home or workplace today. For example, 'I will bring my sister to dinner,' or 'Can I bring my pet to the park?'
शब्द की उत्पत्ति
The verb 「連れてくる」 is a compound verb formed from the base verb 「連れる」(tsureru), meaning 'to bring along' or 'to take with,' and the verb 「来る」(kuru), meaning 'to come.' This combination clearly indicates the action of bringing someone towards the speaker's location.
मूल अर्थ: The original meaning is derived from the components: 'to bring along' + 'to come'.
Japonic languages.सांस्कृतिक संदर्भ
Using 「連れてくる」 is generally neutral. However, the context of *who* is being brought and *why* can add layers of meaning. Bringing someone without permission might be considered rude. The politeness level of the verb conjugation is crucial in formal vs. informal settings.
In English, we might say 'bring someone over,' 'have someone come,' or 'introduce someone.' The Japanese 「連れてくる」 covers these nuances, always emphasizing the movement towards the speaker's location.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालThe key difference is the direction of movement. 「連れてくる」(tsuretekuru) means to bring someone *here*, to the speaker's location. 「連れて行く」(tsureteiku) means to take someone *there*, away from the speaker's location or to a different place. Think of 'kuru' as 'come' and 'iku' as 'go'. For example, if you are at home and your friend arrives with another person, your friend might say '友達を連れてきました' (I brought a friend). If you are leaving your home and going to a park with a friend, you would say '友達を連れて行きます' (I will take a friend to the park).
While technically possible in some very casual or humorous contexts, it is strongly recommended to use 「持ってくる」(mottekuru) for objects. 「連れてくる」 is specifically for bringing animate beings, especially people and pets, and implies escorting or accompanying them. Using it for objects might sound unnatural or like a mistake.
The direct object, which is the person or animal being brought, is marked with the particle 'を' (o). For example, '友達を連れてくる' (tomodachi o tsuretekuru).
You can use the te-form of the verb followed by 'もいいですか？' (mo ii desu ka?). For example, '誰か連れてきてもいいですか？' (Dareka tsuretekite mo ii desu ka?), which means 'Is it okay if I bring someone?'
The plain past tense is '連れてきた' (tsuretekita), and the polite past tense is '連れてきました' (tsuretekimashita). For example, '昨日、彼を連れてきた' (Yesterday, I brought him) or '昨日、彼を連れてきました' (Yesterday, I brought him - polite).
Yes, the verb 「同伴する」(dōhan suru) means 'to accompany' or 'to escort' and is more formal. However, it often implies a more official or duty-bound escorting rather than a casual bringing of a friend. For most everyday situations, 「連れてくる」 is perfectly appropriate.
The te-form '連れてきて' (tsuretekite) can be used to connect clauses or, when followed by 'ください' (kudasai), to make a request: '連れてきてください' (tsuretekite kudasai) means 'Please bring (someone) here'.
No, 「連れてくる」 is used when bringing *another* person or entity. If you are coming yourself, you would simply use the verb 「来る」(kuru).
You can use the structure '〜のを忘れた' (~ no o wasureta). So, '誰かを連れてくるのを忘れた' (Dareka o tsuretekuru no o wasureta) means 'I forgot to bring someone'.
The negative dictionary form is '連れてこない' (tsuretekonai). The polite negative form is '連れてきません' (tsuretekimasen). For example, '彼は弟を連れてこない' (He doesn't bring his younger brother) or '彼は弟を連れてきません' (He doesn't bring his younger brother - polite).
