Tentang めく・めいた

めく is a fairly unique う-Verb in Japanese in that it will only be used as a suffix. This is due to its meaning of 'to show signs of (A)', or 'to have the appearance of (A)'. It will be attached to nouns that the speaker experiences to be the case.

As めく itself is a verb, it may appear in several different conjugation forms depending on how it is describing the rest of the sentence. When connected directly to a second noun, the past-tense form めいた is most common.

This 'that the speaker experiences to be the case' part is important, as めく will almost always highlight the speaker's own personal feelings in regard to (A), and how they perceive it. The thing being described as (A) will usually not actually be (A), and the speaker is often aware of this fact.

Caution

めく is mostly used with set nouns, so it is best to only use it with expressions that you have already heard. Some examples are 謎(なぞ)めく 'to appear to be a riddle', 皮肉(ひにく)めく 'to appear to be sarcastic', 言(い)い訳(わけ)めく 'to appear to be an excuse', 作(つく)り物(もの)めく 'to appear to be fictitious', and seasons of the year.

        Can anyone enlighten me as to why this takes this form? I can’t get my head round it…

        I’ve got the same question wrong too (originally put めいた)

      • casual

        casual

        I don’t have an answer as to why that is, but it seems you use めいてる・めいて来た・めいていた when it is the main verb (not a relative clause modifying a noun). Maybe to the native ear “to be showing signs of X” just sounds like a continuous process.
