Useful Words
-Chatta
This is probably one of the most popular endings you'll encounter. It means
"irrevocably", "can't be undone", "went and did without thinking". It's a
relatively cute ending. Most of the time a person using this ending would have to
be pretty cute, usually a girl. Guys can use this ending, but it doesn't happen as
often. You probably wouldn't see Kenshin using it!
You have to do something to the verb before you can just add this ending. It
varies, depending on what group the verb is in. For instance, with -U -TSU -RU
verbs, you remove the ending from the verb (-u, -tsu, -ru) and add -chatta.
taberu (to eat)- tabechatta
omou (to think)- omochatta
katsu (to win) - kachatta
With -SU verbs, you change the -SU to SHI first.
korosu (to kill) - koroshichatta
iyasu (to heal) - iyashichatta
osu (to push) - oshichatta
With -MU -NU -BU verbs, you conjugate it into its -NDE form, and remove the
last -DE. Also, you use -jatta instead of -chatta.
shinu (to die) - shinjatta
korobu (to fall) - koronjatta
ochikomu (to be depressed) - ochikonjatta

This word basically means "to the extent that", or "as far as". As always, we'll
use it in a sentence so you can see exactly what function it performs!
