About 込む ①
In Japanese, the う - Verb 込む 'to jam into' is frequently used as a suffix to convey several different meanings. The primary meanings are as follows:
(A) 込む - To enter completely into doing (A), or the state of being in (A).
(A) 込む - To enter a state of doing (A) that will not be considered complete until 'success'.
(A) 込む - To enter a state of doing (A) that cannot be escaped from.
In this lesson, we will exclusively focus on the first meaning, which is usually translated as 'to put into (A)', or 'to go into (A)'. This form will be attached to the conjunctive form of other verbs.
Despite the multiple meanings, 込む can almost always be thought of as 'jamming (B) into (A)'. This means that whatever the (A) action is, will be something that is not easily entered, but also not easily escaped from.
