À propos de まくる

まくる is a verb that is attached to the conjunctive form of other verbs in order to show that (A) is being done over and over, a lot, or with a great amount of vigor. It comes from the verb う-Verb 捲(まく)る 'to roll', or 'to turn', so means 'to do (A) around and again'. Common translations include 'to (A) like crazy', 'to do nothing but (A)', and 'to constantly do (A)'.

As mentioned, this structure is attached to the conjunctive form of other verbs.

This structure may be used both in positive or negative contexts, and it is quite common for the nuance of まくる to indicate that (A) is being done recklessly, or with abandon. This implies that the speaker isn't thinking about the consequences of doing (A) repeatedly, if any may exist.

Caution

The (A) verb must be something that is volitional, meaning that the speaker must have control over it and its repetition.

              I was scratching my head over what this was supposed to mean, but I think I found the answer. Seems like I wasn’t the only one confused about “volitional verbs”.

              Hey @Redglare

              I have modified the structure a bit, what do you think?

              Cheers!
