Verbs - Ikimasu, Kimasu, Kaerimasu

The Japanese verbs "ikimasu" (行きます), "kimasu" (来ます), and "kaerimasu" (帰ります) are all verbs related to movement or travel. Here's a brief overview of each:

  1. Ikimasu (行きます): This verb means "to go." It is used when someone is going to a place away from the speaker or the speaker's current location. For example, "Gakkou e ikimasu" (学校に行きます) means "I am going to school."
  2. Kimasu (来ます): This verb means "to come." It is used when someone or something is coming to a place where the speaker is or will be. For example, "Uchi e kimasu" (家に来ます) means "I am coming home."
  3. Kaerimasu (帰ります): This verb means "to return" or "to go home." It is used when someone is going back to a place where they came from, especially their home. For example, "Ie e kaerimasu" (家に帰ります) means "I am going home."

These verbs are all presented in their polite affirmative form ("-masu" form), which is commonly used in formal or polite conversation. The "-masu" form is also typically used in more formal settings, educational contexts, and when speaking with people who are not close friends or family to show respect or politeness.
