À propos de 込む ②

In Japanese, the う - Verb ()む 'to jam into' is frequently used as a suffix to convey several different meanings. The primary meanings are as follows:

(A) ()む - To enter completely into doing (A), or the state of being in (A).

(A) ()む - To enter a state of doing (A) that will not be considered complete until 'success'.

(A) ()む - To enter a state of doing (A) that cannot be escaped from.

In this lesson, we will exclusively focus on the second and third meanings, which are usually translated as 'to remain in (A)', 'to thoroughly do (A)', 'to do (A) deeply', or 'to do (A) intensely'. This form will be attached to the conjunctive form of other verbs.

Despite the multiple meanings, ()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.

        What’s the difference between てしまう, 切る and 込む in this case ?

        Hi!

        They all indeed can be used for something that you do completely.

        My first take on this, waiting for more knowledgeable people to chime in, would be as follows:

        • てしまう introduces the nuance of ‘not being able to come back’ or ‘point of no return’. This can be either desired or undesired (the main use of this construction);
          You can think of it as doing something and then you shut it down (and throw away the key or lose it) (しまう).
        • verb stem + 切る introduces the nuance of ‘doing something until you have exhausted the resources needed to do the action’, to the full extent of your resources or capabilities;
          ...
