Significado: Describing a verb that does not take a direct object, expressing an action or state that is complete in itself, such as 'sleep' in 'The baby slept.'

不及物的，描述不带直接宾语、表达自身即完整的动作或状态的动词，如'The baby slept'中的'sleep'。

Intransitivo, se dice del verbo que no lleva objeto directo y expresa una acción o estado completos en sí mismos, como 'sleep' en 'The baby slept.'

自動詞の。直接目的語を取らず、それ自体で完結する動作や状態を表す動詞を指す。例えば「The baby slept.」の「sleep」のようなもの。

자동사의. 직접 목적어를 취하지 않으며 그 자체로 완결되는 동작이나 상태를 표현하는 동사를 가리킨다. 예를 들어 'The baby slept.'에서 'sleep'이 이에 해당한다.

Intransitive verbs describe actions that do not pass to a receiver. They may be followed by adverbs or prepositional phrases but never by a direct object. Some verbs are exclusively intransitive (e.g., 'arrive,' 'die'), whilst others can function as both transitive and intransitive. Intransitive verbs cannot be used in the passive voice.

不及物动词描述不传递给接受者的动作。其后可以跟副词或介词短语，但绝不能跟直接宾语。有些动词只能用作不及物动词（如'arrive'、'die'），而另一些则可兼作及物和不及物动词。不及物动词不能用于被动语态。

Los verbos intransitivos describen acciones que no se transmiten a un receptor. Pueden ir seguidos de adverbios o sintagmas preposicionales, pero nunca de un objeto directo. Algunos verbos son exclusivamente intransitivos (p. ej., 'arrive', 'die'), mientras que otros funcionan como transitivos e intransitivos a la vez. Los verbos intransitivos no admiten la voz pasiva.

自動詞は受け手に伝わらない動作を表す。副詞や前置詞句が後に続くことはあるが、直接目的語が続くことは決してない。一部の動詞はもっぱら自動詞であり（例：「arrive」「die」）、他の動詞は他動詞と自動詞の両方の機能を持つ。自動詞は受動態にすることができない。

자동사는 수용자에게 전달되지 않는 동작을 나타낸다. 부사나 전치사구가 뒤따를 수는 있지만 직접 목적어는 절대 올 수 없다. 일부 동사는 전적으로 자동사이며(예: 'arrive,' 'die'), 다른 동사들은 타동사와 자동사 양쪽으로 모두 기능할 수 있다. 자동사는 수동태로 사용될 수 없다.
