|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## ていく・てくる
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ていく combines the Te-form with the verb 行く.
|
|
|
|
|
てくる combines the Te-form with the verb 来る.
|
|
|
|
|
Both can be used when representing time or a physical place. Kanji and hiragana can be used, and they can be conjugated.
|
|
|
|
|
Only for **verbs**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first meaning is the following:
|
|
|
|
|
* ていく means to go and do something.
|
|
|
|
|
* てくる means to do and come back.
|
|

The second meaning is:
|

* ていく means to start doing something with your own agency.
|
|
|
|
