Verb
あげる
- A verb used to describe the act of giving something to someone from the giver's perspective.
- It is often used with the following pattern:
[Giver] が [Receiver] に [Object] を あげる。 - If the giver is 私, the 私が part in the pattern above is often omitted.
- Since the verb あげる is used to describe the action from the giver's perspective, the receiver cannot be 私.
