Abstract

Abstract Idiom is a phrase whose meaning cannot be understood just by looking at the meanings of the individual words in it. This article discusses the analysis of idioms formed from the word "Iki" in Japanese. The purpose of writing this research is to dig deeper into the understanding of the meaning of idioms in terms of their lexical and idiomatic meanings. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method. The data used in this study are seven idioms formed from the word "Iki." The data source is the Shinkanzen Master vocabulary book for levels N2 and N1. The data collection technique used is library research with note-taking and data analysis techniques presented through descriptive presentation.The results of this study show that idioms formed from the word "Iki" have different meanings and uses depending on the situation and conditions, as well as the phrases that follow them, so that accuracy is needed in communicating both orally and in writing.

Abstract

This study focuses on Japanese verb conjugation learning among beginner-level self-directed learners and to examine the relationship between learning strategies and conjugation accuracy. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach combined with qualitative analysis involving three self-directed learners at approximately JLPT N5 level. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire on learning strategies and a conjugation test covering polite form (ます形), te-form (て形), past form (た形), negative form (ない形), and phonological changes in godan verbs. The findings indicate a positive tendency between structured learning strategies and higher conjugation accuracy. Learners who actively classified verbs, engaged in repeated practice, and performed self-correction achieved significantly higher test scores compared to those who relied primarily on exposure without systematic strategies. The most noticeable differences appeared in godan verb conjugation, which requires pattern recognition and phonological rule generalization. These results suggest that the quality of learning strategies plays a more crucial role than the amount of study time in developing a stable morphological system among self-directed Japanese language learners.
