Conjugation

taberu (eat) -> (potential) tabe-rareru , (passive) taberareru

nokoru (remain) -> (potential) nokor-eru , (passive) nokorareru

nusumu (to steal) -> (potential) nusum-eru , (passive) nusumareru

Note

So only potential of GODAN (mu,nu.su...) is different -> +eru, otherwise always rareru

Examples

!!! Potential:

`hambaga o taberareru` - Hamburger can be eaten (i can eat it)

`hambaga ga taberareru` - Hamburger can be eaten


Note here that in `hambaga o taberareru`  hamburger is modified, while in

`hambaga ga taberareru` hamburger is the subject marked by `ga`

I dont like this form so there is another alternative

`hambaga o taberu koto ga dekiru` - this is also supported by tae kim's grammer

Passive

I dont like this form

hambaga ga taberareru hamburger is eaten

Instead you can use two other forms

hambaga wa kare ni taberareru hamburger is eaten by him

which is the same (without passive) as

kare wa hambaga o taberu He eats hamburger
