You'll often use 来ます when talking about moving towards the speaker or a place the speaker is at. It's similar to the English verb 'to come.'
The plain form of 来ます is 来る (kuru). You might hear this in more casual conversations or see it in dictionaries.
For example, if someone asks you to 'come here,' they might say 'ここに来てください' (Koko ni kite kudasai).
Another common usage is when talking about someone coming to visit, like '友達が家に来ます' (Tomodachi ga ie ni kimasu), meaning 'My friend is coming to my house.'
When you want to express the action of "coming" in Japanese, you'll use the verb 来ます (kimasu). This is the polite form. The plain form of the verb is 来る (kuru). You'll hear and use both of these forms frequently, depending on the formality of the situation.
For example, if you're talking about someone coming to a place, or an event coming up, 来ます is the verb to choose. It's a fundamental verb for expressing movement towards the speaker or a designated location. Remember to conjugate it correctly based on the tense and politeness level you need.
When using 来ます (kimasu) to say "to come," you'll often use it with a destination particle like に (ni) or へ (e). For example, 「日本に来ます」 (Nihon ni kimasu) means "I come to Japan" or "I will come to Japan."
You can also use it to talk about something coming towards you, like 「電車が来ます」 (densha ga kimasu), meaning "The train is coming."
Remember that the dictionary form is 来る (kuru), but in polite speech, you'll use 来ます. The choice between に and へ is often interchangeable for destinations, with へ sometimes implying a more general direction.
Additionally, 来ます can be used in a compound verb structure to indicate that something *has come to be* in a certain state or condition, suggesting a change over time, for example, 「寒くなって来ました」 (samuku natte kimashita) meaning "It has gotten cold."
When using 来ます (kimasu) or its plain form 来る (kuru), it literally means "to come." This can be used in a straightforward way, like when someone is physically moving towards the speaker's location. For instance, if your friend is on their way to your house, you could say 彼が来ます (Kare ga kimasu), meaning "He is coming."
However, 来ます can also be used more broadly to talk about events or seasons approaching. You might say 春が来ます (Haru ga kimasu) to mean "Spring is coming."
It’s also important to remember the particle usage: you’ll often see に (ni) to indicate the destination, as in 日本に来ます (Nihon ni kimasu), "to come to Japan." Or, from a place using から (kara), like 学校から来ます (Gakkō kara kimasu), "to come from school."
In some contexts, 来ます can also imply showing up or attending. If you are asked if you will attend a meeting, you might reply, はい、来ます (Hai, kimasu), meaning "Yes, I will come/attend."
When using 来ます (kimasu) at a C1 level, you should be aware of its nuances beyond simply "to come." It often implies movement towards the speaker or a place the speaker identifies with. For example, if you say 「友達が私の家に来ます」 (Tomodachi ga watashi no ie ni kimasu), it means your friend is coming to your house, emphasizing the direction towards your location.
You'll also encounter 来ます in more figurative expressions. Consider phrases like 「来年」 (rainen - next year) or 「来月」 (raigetsu - next month), where 来 implies a future arrival or coming period. Similarly, when talking about events, 「会議が来週来ます」 (Kaigi ga raishū kimasu) can be used to mean the meeting is coming up next week.
Furthermore, 来ます can be used as a supplementary verb (補助動詞 - hojo dōshi) attached to the ます-stem of another verb to indicate that an action is progressing towards the speaker or has been done and is still continuing. For instance, 「日本に来ました」 (Nihon ni kimashita) means "I came to Japan," but 「本を読んで来ました」 (Hon o yonde kimashita) could mean "I've been reading books (and I'm still doing so/the results are still with me).".
Mastering these various uses and the implied direction or progression will significantly enhance your understanding and natural usage of 来ます at an advanced level.
来ます (来る) 30 सेकंड में
- Use 来ます when someone or something moves towards you.
- 来ます is the polite form, suitable for most situations.
- The plain form is 来る (kuru), often used informally or in dictionaries.
§ What 来ます and 来る mean and when to use them
Let's get straight to it: 来ます (きます) and 来る (くる) both mean 'to come' in Japanese. You'll hear and see them constantly. The main difference? 来ます is the polite form, and 来る is the plain form. This distinction is crucial in Japanese, so pay attention.
- Polite Form
- 来ます (きます)
You use 来ます when you're speaking to someone you don't know well, someone older than you, your boss, or anyone you want to show respect to. Think formal situations, business settings, or just being generally polite.
- Plain Form
- 来る (くる)
来る is for casual situations. Use it with friends, family members, or people you're close to. You'll also see it a lot in written Japanese like newspaper articles, books, and sometimes even casual emails or texts.
Let's look at some direct examples to make this clearer:
明日、会社に来ますか？
Ashita, kaisha ni kimasu ka?
Are you coming to the office tomorrow? (Polite, e.g., to a colleague)
友達が家に来るよ。
Tomodachi ga ie ni kuru yo.
A friend is coming to my house. (Casual, e.g., telling another friend)
The choice between 来ます and 来る often reflects the speaker's relationship with the listener or the context of the conversation. It's not just about politeness; it's about social awareness.
Beyond just 'to come,' these verbs can also mean 'to arrive.' For instance, when a train or bus 'comes,' you'd use 来ます or 来る:
電車がもうすぐ来ます。
Densha ga mou sugu kimasu.
The train will come soon. (Or 'arrive soon')
You might also see it used for things like seasons or events 'coming.'
冬が来る。
Fuyu ga kuru.
Winter is coming.
The base form, 来る (くる), is irregular. This means it doesn't follow the typical conjugation patterns of Group 1 or Group 2 verbs. You'll just have to memorize its forms. Don't worry, it's one of the most common verbs, so you'll get plenty of practice.
- Present Polite: 来ます (きます) - kimasu
- Present Plain: 来る (くる) - kuru
- Negative Polite: 来ません (きません) - kimasen
- Negative Plain: 来ない (こない) - konai
- Past Polite: 来ました (きました) - kimashita
- Past Plain: 来た (きた) - kita
Yes, the reading for the negative plain form changes from 'ki' to 'ko'. This is just how it is. Don't overthink it, just learn it. It's a fundamental part of the verb. Mastery of 来ます/来る is essential for basic communication in Japanese. You'll use it to talk about people, things, and events arriving or happening.

- To come.
The verb 来ます (kimasu) is one of the first irregular verbs you'll learn in Japanese, and it's super common. Its dictionary form is 来る (kuru). You'll hear it constantly, so getting comfortable with it is essential. It generally means 'to come,' but like many words, its usage can extend to different contexts.
§ At Work
In a professional setting, 来ます is crucial for discussing arrivals, meetings, and project progress. You'll hear it for colleagues arriving, clients visiting, or even deadlines approaching.
田中さんが会議に来ますか？ (Will Tanaka-san come to the meeting?)
来週、新しいプロジェクトが来ます。 (A new project will come (start) next week.)
§ At School
Whether you're a student or a teacher, 来ます is used frequently. Think about class attendance, events, or even just friends meeting up.
先生はもうすぐ教室に来ます。 (The teacher will come to the classroom soon.)
試験の日が来るのが怖い。 (I'm scared of the exam day coming.)
§ In the News
News reports often use 来ます (or its plain form 来る) to talk about events, natural phenomena, or important figures arriving. It's usually in a more formal context, but the meaning of 'coming' still applies.
台風が日本に来ています。 (A typhoon is coming to Japan.)
首相がまもなく空港に来ます。 (The Prime Minister will arrive at the airport shortly.)
§ Other Common Uses
来ます isn't just about physical movement. It can also describe the onset of feelings, seasons, or even abstract concepts.
Feelings:

Seasons:
もうすぐ春が来ますね。 (Spring will come soon, won't it?)
Events/Times:
誕生日が来るのが楽しみ。 (I'm looking forward to my birthday coming.)

§ Understanding 来ます (kimasu)
来ます (kimasu) is a fundamental Japanese verb that means "to come." It's essential for talking about movement towards the speaker or a designated location. You'll use it constantly in daily conversation.
- Definition

友達が来ます。(Tomodachi ga kimasu.)
Hint: My friend will come.
いつ日本に来ましたか。(Itsu Nihon ni kimashita ka?)
Hint: When did you come to Japan?
§ 来ます (kimasu) vs. 行きます (ikimasu)
The most common verb learners confuse with 来ます (kimasu) is 行きます (ikimasu), which means "to go." The key difference is the perspective of the speaker.
- 来ます (kimasu): Movement towards the speaker or a place the speaker considers their current location/context.
- 行きます (ikimasu): Movement away from the speaker or a designated starting point.
私は学校に行きます。(Watashi wa gakkou ni ikimasu.)
Hint: I go to school. (You are going away from your current location to school.)
先生が教室に来ます。(Sensei ga kyoushitsu ni kimasu.)
Hint: The teacher comes to the classroom. (If you are in the classroom, the teacher is coming towards your location.)
§ 来ます (kimasu) in specific contexts
Besides physical movement, 来ます (kimasu) is used in a few other important ways:
- Time passing: When a certain time or event approaches.
- Appearance/occurrence: When something appears or happens.
夏が来ます。(Natsu ga kimasu.)
Hint: Summer is coming.
連絡が来ました。(Renraku ga kimashita.)
Hint: I received a message. (Literally: A message came.)
§ Practical Takeaways
Mastering 来ます (kimasu) means always thinking about the perspective. If the movement is towards you, or towards a place you are associated with, use 来ます. If it's away, use 行きます (ikimasu). Practice with examples and you'll get the hang of it quickly.

"ママ、いつくるくる？ (Mommy, when are you coming?)"
"あいつ、来んじゃね？ (Isn't he coming? / He might come, right?)"

अक्सर इससे भ्रम होता है
Japanese has several verbs for movement, and distinguishing between 'coming', 'going', and 'returning' is a common challenge for learners.
The existence of humble and honorific forms for verbs like 来ます (来る) adds another layer of complexity for English speakers learning Japanese.
Understanding whether the movement is towards or away from the speaker, or towards a specific destination, is key to correctly using these verbs.

Often confused with 来ます (来る) because both involve movement, but 行きます (行く) means 'to go'.
来ます (来る) is 'to come' (movement towards the speaker or a designated location), while 行きます (行く) is 'to go' (movement away from the speaker or a designated location).
私は学校に**行きます**。 (I go to school.)
Can be confused when returning to a place, as it also implies movement. However, 帰ります (帰る) specifically means 'to return' or 'to go home'.
来ます (来る) is a general 'to come', whereas 帰ります (帰る) is specifically about returning to a home or familiar place.
家に**帰ります**。 (I go home.)
Sometimes confused because it relates to arrival, similar to 'coming to a destination'.
来ます (来る) emphasizes the act of movement towards a point, while 着きます (着く) emphasizes the state of having arrived at a destination.
駅に**着きました**。 (I arrived at the station.)
This is a humble form of 来ます (来る) and 行きます (行く), which can be confusing for learners trying to distinguish between plain and polite forms.
参ります (参る) is used to humbly state 'to come' or 'to go' when speaking to someone of higher status, making your action sound more modest. 来ます (来る) is the regular polite form.
明日、そちらに**参ります**。 (I will come there tomorrow. - humble)
This is a respectful honorific form of 来ます (来る), which can be confusing when trying to use appropriate politeness levels.
おいでになります is used to respectfully say 'to come' when referring to someone of higher status's action. 来ます (来る) is the regular polite form.
先生はもう**おいでになりました**か。 (Has the teacher already come? - honorific)
इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
The Japanese verb 来ます (kimasu) / 来る (kuru) means “to come.”
The dictionary form of the verb is 来る (kuru), and 来ます (kimasu) is the polite form. Like all verbs in Japanese, the form changes based on politeness and tense.
When using 来ます/来る, the particle used to mark the destination is に (ni) or へ (e). Both particles can be translated as “to” in this context.
Examples:
日本に来ます。(Nihon ni kimasu.) - I come to Japan.
家に来る。(Ie ni kuru.) - To come home.
This verb is often used when talking about someone or something approaching the speaker's location, or a location relevant to the speaker.
A common mistake for English speakers is confusing 来ます (kimasu - to come) with 行きます (ikimasu - to go). Remember that 来ます is used when the movement is towards the speaker or a place where the speaker is or will be.
Another mistake is using the wrong particle. While を (o) is used for direct objects, for destinations with movement verbs like 来ます/来る, you should use に (ni) or へ (e).
