Japanese

<p>
	All verbs in <strong>Group 2</strong> end in <strong>る</strong>.
	Note that not all verbs ending in <strong>る</strong> are in Group  2; as we have seen <strong><ruby>入hai</ruby>る</strong> belongs in <strong>Group 1</strong> even though it ends in <strong>る</strong>.
</p>

<p>
	Verbs in Group 2 are easily transformed into their long form using the following two steps:
</p>

<ol>
	<li>Remove <strong>る</strong> from the end of the verb to obtain the <strong>stem</strong>.</li>
	<li>Attach the <strong>ます</strong> ending to the stem.</li>
</ol>

<table class="ui fixed celled table">
	<thead>
		<tr>
			<th>English</th>
			<th>Dictionary form (casual)</th>
			<th>Stem</th>
			<th>Long form (neutral/formal)</th>
		</tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>to see; to look at, to watch</td>
			<td><ruby>見mi</ruby>る<br>miru</td>
			<td><ruby>見mi</ruby><br>mi</td>
			<td><ruby>見mi</ruby>ます<br>mimasu</td>
		</tr>

			<td>to eat</td>

			<td><ruby>食ta</ruby>べ<br>tabe</td>
			<td><ruby>食ta</ruby>べます<br>tabemasu</td>

			<td>to leave, to go out, to exit</td>
			<td><ruby>出de</ruby>る<br>deru</td>
			<td><ruby>出de</ruby><br>de</td>
			<td><ruby>出de</ruby>ます<br>demasu</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

<p>
	The verbs <strong><ruby>見mi</ruby>る</strong> and <strong><ruby>食ta</ruby>べる</strong> take <strong>direct objects</strong>, and <strong><ruby>出de</ruby>る</strong> does not take an object.
