Notes de l'éditeur (Japan Times) This is … the first comprehensive dictionary of Japanese grammar … a standard reference. - Japan Economic Journal A DICTIONARY OF BASIC JAPANESE GRAMMAR offers a new approach to the interpretation of Japanese grammar and provides, in dictionary format, a convenient reference of grammar-related expressions. Accurate and concise, the grammar explanations incorporate the results of recent research in Japanese linguistics. This work is designed primarily for such people as those who --are not satisfied with the grammar explanations in Japanese textbooks, --have studied Japanese grammar but need more comprehensive information about its use in different contexts, --want to learn the distinctions among similar grammatical expressions, --are looking for a supplement to dictionaries which lack grammatical explanations, --need a basic grammar review. A DICTIONARY OF BASIC JAPANESE GRAMMAR consists of five sections. - The first section familiarizes the reader with the grammatical terms used throughout the text. - The second provides an overview of the major grammar concepts of Japanese. - The third and main portion of the text is devoted to descriptions and explanations of the basic grammar items. - The fourth and fifth sections, consisting of eight appendixes and three indexes, complete the text. This book helps the reader to obtain an in-depth understanding of basic grammar structures, which leads to more accurate usage. Overall, it constitutes a standard reference for Japanese and can be considered indispensable to the study of the language. Review: The explanations are clear and easy to understand - (I am still learning beginning Japanese--I know enough to be dangerous, but am not even at JLPT5 yet, I suspect--so take this review with a grain of salt.) Calling this book a dictionary is very appropriate, because that's exactly what it is. Having it at your side to look up grammar points (either what something means or how to say something) is invaluable. The explanations are clear and easy to understand, and the example sentences with translations help to solidify and further clarify the meanings of the grammar points and how to use them. There are many times when the explanations in my primary learning sources were confusing or ambiguous, and looking up those grammar points in this book has so far always cleared things up for me. This book won't guide you through learning Japanese, but it doesn't claim to. It does exactly what it says on the cover, and does an outstanding job of it. I absolutely recommend it as a reference to have on hand while learning Japanese. As I advance in my Japanese, I definitely plan to buy the next books in the series as well. Review: Simply The Best - The Dictionary of Japanese Grammar series is simply the best grammar series I've ever come across in any language. The authors do an excellent job of combining complicated linguistic explanations replete with examples of both correct and incorrect sentences. Everything is easy to handle, even for beginners. Japanese grammar does not seem as foreboding and complicated with this excellent book at hand. The only real criticism I have is that some of the English language explanations aren't as clear as they could be. However, this book more than makes up for those occasional dictionaries through its extensive use of examples. Fortunately, the vocabulary used in this book is quite simple and easy to understand. That point alone sets this book apart from most textbook explanations of grammar, in which the authors usually feel the need to use whatever vocabulary was most recently introduced. Here the vocabulary words are simple and at an easy beginner level, allowing the student to focus on the grammar and not on the vocabulary. Seriously - this is the best you'll find in any language. I wish that this series existed for other languages. The key to effective grammar teaching is repetition and extensive full-sentence examples. Others should take note. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #52,979 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,094 in Textbooks (Special Features Stores) #3,330 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,101 Reviews | ## Images ![A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GyLIQYFgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The explanations are clear and easy to understand *by N***L on August 25, 2017* (I am still learning beginning Japanese--I know enough to be dangerous, but am not even at JLPT5 yet, I suspect--so take this review with a grain of salt.)

I have however checked multiples entries and the grammar is clearly and methodically explained every single time. Each time I use it I feel satisfied with the responses I find to my queries, learn something new, and am happy I bought these books. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar - A Dictionary of Intermediate Japanese Grammar - Dictionary of Advanced Japanese Grammar (Japanese and English Edition) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/72093028-a-dictionary-of-basic-japanese-grammar](https://www.desertcart.at/products/72093028-a-dictionary-of-basic-japanese-grammar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
