Nested conjugations - any tips? - vebaev - 2014-02-10
Hi,
I have came across some quite nested conjugations, I can remember exactly the ones but simple example like:
食べてみたい
So I usually am staring it 5 min till figured out that it consist from たべる＋てみる＋たい
This is a nice one but I remember ones nested like hell (like +negative + past tense) and leading to stuck to the reading for some minutes....
Is there any tips for there complicated verb-forming?
PS
moreover this is reading, if I have to say that probably I have to think 10min to construct it

Don’t think of them as nested, think of them more like consecutive.
Although your example is not trivial, you can have even more complex (compositions of) conjugations - try these:
食べたくなってきた
食べてみたくなってきた
食べさせたくなかった
and yes, you need to be able to decipher/construct them on the fly - with practice and time you will
