<div class='writeup-body'><span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='625'>型（がた）</span>, or sometimes 形（がた）, are two kanji that are often used as a <span class='info-highlight' data-term='接尾語・せつびご'>suffix</span>, to identify that something is 'shaped', or 'sized' according to (A). The primary reading of both of these kanji is かた, but becomes がた due to 連濁（れんだく） (sound changes due to conjugation). <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='625'>型（がた）</span> can be attached directly to the end of nouns, or to <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='24'>い-Adjectives</span>. Occasionally, 型（かた） will be used after the <span class='info-highlight' data-term='格助詞・かくじょし'>case marking particle</span> の. In these cases, because it is connected to の, and not directly to the noun, it will be read as かた, not がた.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'><span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='30'>この</span>紙（かみ）<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='21'>を</span>星（ほし）<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='625'>形（がた）</span><span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='32'>に</span>切（き）っ<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='60'>てください</span>。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>Please cut this paper into the shape of a star.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>この<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='625'>型（かた）</span><span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='6'>の</span>スマホはよく壊（こわ）れます。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>This type of smartphone breaks often.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>90年（ねん）<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='668'>代（だい）</span><span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='32'>に</span>は犬（いぬ）<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='625'>型（がた）</span><span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='6'>の</span>ロボット<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='6'>の</span>おもちゃ<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='10'>が</span>人気（にんき）<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='40'>だった</span>。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>During the 90s, dog-type robots were popular.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>新（あたら）しい<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='625'>型（かた）</span><span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='6'>の</span>自転車（じてんしゃ）はいつ発売（はつばい）されますか？</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>When is the new model of this bike coming out?</div></li></ul>Although there are two different kanji that can be used in this expression, <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='625'>型（がた）</span> will be used far more frequently than 形（がた）.
