Derivation refers to creating a new

派生是指通过向词干添加表示语法含义但没有词汇含义的词元素（例如后缀）来创建新词。例如，名词黒kuro'black'与形容词后缀いi组合在一起，形成形容词黒いkuroi'black'。推导不应与词尾变化相混淆，后者包括添加词尾或修饰词的形式以指示各种语法功能，例如时态。生成的单词是原始单词的另一种形式，本身不是新单词。例如，动词帰るkaeru'return'的最后一个音节被改写为帰れkaere，它是命令式。日语中的屈折词结尾通常用平假名写成。<br><br>复合，推导和拐点之间的精确区别涉及复杂的理论问题，这些问题无需非专业人员即可解决。

Derivation refers to creating a new word by adding to a stem a word element such as a suffix that expresses grammatical meaning but has no lexical meaning. For example, the noun 黒 kuro 'black' is combined with the adjective-forming suffix い i to form the adjective 黒い kuroi 'black'. Derivation should not be confused with inflection, which consists of adding word endings or modifying the form of a word in order to indicate various grammatical functions, such as tense. The resulting word is another form of the original word, not a new word in itself. For example, the last syllable of the verb 帰る kaeru 'to return' is inflected to yield 帰れ kaere, the imperative form. Inflectional word endings in Japanese are usually written in hiragana.<br><br>The precise distinctions between compounding, derivation, and inflection involve complex theoretical problems that need not concern the nonspecialist.

派生是指通过在词干中添加一个词素（如表示语法意义但没有词义的后缀）来创建一个新词。例如，名词黒kuro'black'与形成后缀いi的形容词组合，形成形容词黒kuroi'black'。派生词不应与屈折变化混淆，屈折变化包括增加词尾或修改词形以表示各种语法功能，如时态。结果词是原词的另一种形式，而不是新词本身。例如，动词帰るkaeru‘to return’的最后一个音节被屈折成祈使形式帰れkaere。日语中的屈折词尾通常用平假名书写。<br>复合词、派生词和屈折词之间的精确区别涉及到复杂的理论问题，而这些问题不需要涉及非专业人士。<br>
