  • Means 'to do' or 'to play'.
  • Very common and versatile verb.
  • Essential for basic Japanese conversation.
します (shimasu) is the polite form of する (suru), used in formal or semi-formal situations, when speaking to elders, superiors, or people you don't know well. Its casual equivalent is する (suru). Understanding when to use polite versus casual forms is crucial for appropriate communication in Japanese. します is used in daily conversations, business settings, and when showing respect. It contrasts with its plain form, which is typically reserved for close friends or family.
A significant use of します is its ability to combine with nouns to form compound verbs. Many Japanese nouns can be 'verbalized' by adding する or します. For instance, 勉強 (benkyō - 'study' - noun) becomes 勉強します (benkyō shimasu - 'to study' - verb). This makes します incredibly productive for expanding one's vocabulary and expressing a wide range of actions without learning a new verb for each specific activity. This grammatical structure is very common.
Beyond its literal meaning, します appears in many common expressions and idiomatic phrases. For example, 'お腹がします' (onaka ga shimasu) is incorrect; instead, 'お腹が空きます' (onaka ga sukimasu) is used for 'I'm hungry'. However, you might hear 'いい匂いがします' (ii nioi ga shimasu - 'It smells good') or '音がします' (oto ga shimasu - 'There's a sound'). These examples highlight how します can indicate perception or the occurrence of an event, adding to its versatility. Mastering these nuances is key.

재미있는 사실

Despite being an A1 verb, する (suru) is one of only two truly irregular verbs in Japanese (the other being 来る - kuru, 'to come'), meaning its conjugation patterns don an follow standard rules, making it a unique linguistic feature.
