Template:Japanese/Verb style

style="background-color: "

This was originally created to standardise the colours on the Japanese/Verb conjugation table, but may have applications elsewhere. The usage is simple.

{{Japanese verb style|<verb form>|<text to be coloured>}}

where <verb form> is one of:

• plain past positive
• plain past negative
• plain present positive
• plain present negative
• plain imperative
• plain te
• plain volitional
• polite past positive
• polite past negative
• polite present positive
• polite present negative
• polite imperative
• polite te
• polite volitional
• tari
• subjunctive
• conditional
• provisional
• passive
• causative
• potential

By omitting the second argument, the template adds markup that will colour a cell in a table.
