「まくる」の情報

まくる is a verb that will be 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 will attach to the conjunctive form of other verbs.
  • 昨日(きのう)は釣具屋(つりぐや)でルアーを買(か)いまくったから、来週(らいしゅう)までご飯(はん)とふりかけで我慢(がまん)しなきゃいけない。
    I bought a bunch of lures at the tackle shop yesterday, so I have put up with eating rice and furikake until next week.
  • 久(ひさ)しぶりに実家(じっか)に帰(かえ)って、母(はは)の料理(りょうり)を食(た)べまくってるから少(すこ)し太(ふと)ってきた。
    I have started to gain some weight because I've been eating so much of my mom's food, ever since I came to visit my family after a long time.
  • 昨日(きのう)はカラオケで歌(うた)いまくったから、声(こえ)が全然(ぜんぜん)でない。
    I sang like crazy at the karaoke last night, so I lost my voice.
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.
  • しゃっくりが出(で)まくりすぎて苦(くや)しい。
    I am having a hard time breathing because I am hiccuping like crazy. (Unnatural Japanese)

    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”.
