Godan verb (る)

被るかぶる

kaburu

to put on (one's head) · N3

被る (かぶる, kaburu) — to put on — is a godan verb ending in る: かぶって (te-form), かぶった (past), かぶらない (negative), かぶります (polite).

It is transitive: it takes a direct object. It is usually written in kana: かぶる rather than 被る. It also means to wear; to have on.

How かぶる conjugates · godan る-verb

Only the last kana changes: る becomes ら, り, れ or ろ.

Which one depends on the ending. The five are one line of the hiragana chart — same consonant, vowels あ・い・う・え・お — and everything before that kana never changes.
