愛す ａｎｄ 過ぎる

[chryuop]

I have a couple of question. I had always known that to say "to love" there was the verb made by the noun + する. But today I have met this verb which is not on Rikaichan, nor on NJStar or my paper dictionary. The verb is 愛す and I have found it on yahoo dictionary, but I am not that good to read all that Japanese to understand what it is.

Also when I looked with Rikaichan the verb 過ぎる (and I checked on other dictionaries too) it is given both as ichidan and godan verb. What's the difference?

Shouldnt 愛す be 愛をする or what? I was taught that way, the wosuru thing. o-o

I cant help you with the second one though.

That's why I was asking, coz it was the first time for me too that I meet 愛す (which in Internet is used millions of times, but I was already shown in other occasion not to trust Internet).


Here's the Yahoo dictionary entry:
愛す

As it says in the link you posted, 愛す is 文語形 or old-way of writing.

愛 is usually used as a noun + する type of word to make 愛する

I love (you). - 愛してる


過ぎる has two pronunciations and the two different pronunciations have different meanings. The second one, according to my dictionary, is usually written in hiragana.

過ぎます (すぎる) - to be too much
過ります (よぎる) - to pass by

As I said I was not able to translate that big of a chunk...not that good yet.
