Verb and Adjective Conjugation Tables

[dovej]

The inflections pane is cool. I like the inclusion of common grammatical patterns like 「方がいい」with English translations. However, it does not quite replace the functionality of a full, traditional conjugation table.

The verb and adjective conjugation tables in the free app "Jsho" is a good example of the sort of functionality I think would be useful. My guess is that it just pulls from the same data that JMDict's web client conjugation tables do.

There are three other issues I've found discussing this, which seem to imply that the feature already exists: https://github.com/mvysny/aedict/issues/43, https://github.com/mvysny/aedict/issues/111, https://github.com/mvysny/aedict/issues/119, but I have not been able to find the feature in Aedict3 despite digging through all the settings, clicking everywhere, etc. I'm guessing those issues were just carry overs from Aedict2 or something. If the feature does exist in Aedict3, some more obvious indication might be good, like a dedicated pane (similar to the current inflections pane) or a pop-up tip.

Separately, this data manages to get conjugations for irregular verbs correct (する verbs, くる verbs, 行く, etc.), so I wonder if it could be sourced to improve the existing inflections pane, which fails on very simple cases like する and 行く.

That is definitely true. There have been a long outstanding bug #486 since the conjugation table UI is ancient. Yet the bugs linked by you do not really help:

• 43 is basically a feature request for a conjugation list as it is now

• 119 is duplicate of #111

• 111 applies to Aedict2, you can achieve the same functionality by just clicking the verb and scrolling to the "Inflections" tab.

Now with that out of the way, we can discuss possibilities of the new UI. I'm thinking some form of combination of the Jsho table with the current list. I'd like to keep the list since it's a great reference guide, but I'd also love to have the Jsho table.

Rgd the suru/iku bugs: can you please open a separate bugs regarding those?

Screenshot from jsho, for ideas.

Could you please attach screenshots of the "Polite", "Negative" and "Past" screens?

Maybe Aedict's conjugation table UI could be improved to resemble the Jsho's screen; when you touch the form a list of examples can be shown, as in the current UI. You could then be able to switch between five modes:

• Plain
• Polite
• Negative
• Past
• All (this would just show all conjugations as the current UI does).

Sorry for the massive flood of huge images.

That's an exhaustive (I think) set of screenshots for the conjugation ui for a regular v5u and regular adj-i. As seen, the buttons at the bottom are actually switches, and you can turn multiple on at once to get compound conjugations.

Ooookay, so Jsho is able to show selected combinations. More complex than I expected, however that is a great idea! Let me steal this idea :-D
