A small library to inflect Japanese verbs and adjectives. It aims to allow you provide a verb or adjective such as 食べる and an inflecion PolitePast and for it to return 食べました.
inflect(word: string, inflection: Inflection, group?: Group): string
Takes a given word and inflects it using the Inflection provided. You can optionally provide a group to use if you want to overide / ensure the right conjugation is used, otherwise it will guess based on the ending and lookup tables.
import { inflect, Inflection, Group } from '@surreptus/japanese-conjugator'
inflect("調べる", Inflection.Te); // 調べて
inflect("語る", Inflection.Past, Group.Godan); // 語ったI started this project as a way to learn the way in which verbs and adjectives change in each form, and get more comfortable using it in my own speech and writing.
