ika-ru, oko-ru, do, nu

The verb ika-ru and oko-ru are to “get angry.” When you are scolded, you can say oko-rareru. Its past tense is oko-rare ta. The noun ika-ri is anger. The suffixes ru, rareru, rare and ri are okurigana.

There are some ways of getting angry. When you feel anger quietly, you can say ika-ri wo oboeru. The wo is joshi (a particle). A word before wo is object of the verb after the wo. The oboeru means to feel. When you are filled with anger, you can say ika-ri ga komiageru. The ga is joshi. A word before ga is the subject of the sentence. The verb komiageru gives us an image of something overflowing within.

Explosive anger is gekido. The geki means violent or furious. Such a status is expressed as ika ri shintō. The ri is okurigana, the shin is a heart, and the tō is a head. This shintō means in the heart.
