Usages of hosuu

歩数計ほすうけい　で　歩数ほすう　を　記録きろくする。hosuukei de hosuu wo kirokusuru.

I record the step count with a pedometer.

歩数計ほすうけい　を　買かった　こと　を　きっかけ　に、　歩数ほすう　を　記録きろくし　始はじめた。hosuukei wo katta koto wo kikkake ni, hosuu wo kirokusi hazimeta.

Prompted by buying a pedometer, I began recording my step count.

歩数ほすう　が　目標歩数もくひょうほすう　に　届とどく。hosuu ga mokuhyouhosuu ni todoku.

The step count reaches the target step count.

歩数計ほすうけい　の　歩数ほすう　を　記録表きろくひょう　に　書かく。hosuukei no hosuu wo kirokuhyou ni kaku.

I write the pedometer reading on the record sheet.

“How do verb conjugations work in Japanese?”

Japanese verbs conjugate based on tense, politeness, and mood. For example, the polite present form adds ‑ます to the verb stem, while the past tense uses ‑ました. Unlike English, Japanese verbs don't change based on the subject — the same form works for "I", "you", and "they".
