Intransitive Verb
noun
Remember how 動詞 means "verb"? When the verb's action happens by itself or to the subject itself, it's an intransitive verb.
In other words, it doesn't need a direct object to complete its action. These are verbs like 行く or 着く or 消える. They're doing something, but they're not doing it to anyone or anything. Can you think of other 自動詞 in Japanese?
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
