JLPT3: [verb] + だす
| 日本語： | [verb (base 2)] だす |
| English: | To suddenly start... |
A recent blog entry looked at how we can add 始める to a verb to say 'start an action'. Here we will look at a slight twist on this and see how to say suddenly start an action. It's a subtle difference, but well worth knowing on your path to becoming native. Good examples of this are 'It suddenly started raining' or 'she suddenly remembered'
例文
| English: | The girl suddenly started screaming. |
| Jenglish: | [girl][scream + suddenly started] |
| 日本語： | 女の人が悲鳴を上げだしました。 |
| English: | The temperature suddenly dropped. |
| Jenglish: | [temperature][drop + suddenly] |
| 日本語： | 気温は低くなり出しました。 |
Is this the right verb for temperature dropping?
またね。。。

The temperature suddenly dropped.
気温は低くなり出しました。
Umm, if you could allow me to be pedantic...
The temperature is low.
気温は低い。[situation]
The temperature suddenly dropped.
気温は下がり始めました。[action]
I think '下がる'（さ-がる）would be better.
またねっ
