I want to share with everyone a great list of verbs in japonês. So I decided to divide it into JLPT Levels. In this article, we will see a huge list of all the verbs studied in N4. (Some may be missing.)
Remember that verbs can have other uses and meanings depending on the sentence and may not be present in this list. It is up to you to interpret and grasp the sentiment of each verb.
The verbs studied in N5 will not appear in this list, so we recommend taking a look at the previous articles, since in N4 you also study the verbs learned previously.
