The only two irregular verbs in Japanese do not conjugate with any other verb. These types of verbs are including in the third group. Learners only have to memorize the verbs in order to use them properly. The irregular verbs in Japanese language include the following:

Kuru (to come) 来る / Suru (to do) する

The verb suru "する" is the most popular verb in the Japanese language because plenty of Japanese native speakers use this verb all the time; it is used also to mean “to make” and “to cost”. In addition, the verb suru "する" is combined with many Chinese western nouns so as to create verbs. Here is a list of some examples.

  • Yushutsusuru (輸出する) - to export

  • Ryokousuru (旅行する) - to travel

  • Benkyousuru (勉強する) - to study

  • Dansusuru (ダンスする) - to dance
