Standard Japanese, polite forms where a learner would use them. Romaji is Hepburn with long-vowel marks (ō, ū). Written for Testera; the example sentences are original. On 29 September 2026 every written form and its kana reading (69 of 69) were matched against JMdict (Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group, release of that date, CC BY-SA 4.0); 疲れた was checked through its dictionary form 疲れる. Romaji was checked against the kana by Hepburn rules, and every kana field was checked to hold kana only. Example sentences have not yet been reviewed by a native speaker. Spotted something to fix?
