Grammar detail: 或る, 有る, 在る
或る, 有る, 在る - kanji forms of ある
Tweet
My current mastery of this grammar point:
The verb ある is a versatile word, used in a variety of contexts. In modern Japanese it is typically written with kana alone. However, it may also be written using any of several different kanji forms - and the specific form used depends on the context.
有る
This form is used when describing possessions - something you have or possess (a thing or a characteristic).
ざいさん 財産 があ 有 る | have assets |
あ 有 りがち | usual, normal |
在る
This form is used when describing the existence (or location) of inanimate objects - ie, the usage of ある that contrasts with いる for living things.
とうきょう 東京 にあ 在 る | it's in Tokyo |
あ 在 りかた 方 | state of things |
或る
This form is used for the meaning 'a certain ~'.
あ 或 るところ 所 | a certain place |
あ 或 るひ 日 | a certain day |
This kanji form can sometimes be found without the okurigana る (eg 或日), but this is less common.
