finite verb
A grammatical term for a verb form that can serve as the predicate of a clause and is marked for tense, person, or other grammatical categories. Used in linguistics and language study.
English finite verbs change form depending on the person and number of the subject.
この文では、定動詞が文末に来る。
In this sentence, the finite verb comes at the end.
準動詞 (verbal) is a broader term for non-finite verb forms like participles and gerunds, contrasting with finite 定動詞.
Compound of 定 (fixed, definite) and 動詞 (verb), likely a calque from Western grammatical terminology.
