| Oct 23, 2020 at 17:47 | comment | added | LLL | I see, I always thought of -aru verbs as "already passive verbs", but turns out, it was wrong. Also in context of this doujinshi, which is set in old times, -asu being older form makes sense. Thank you for noting these things! | |
| Oct 23, 2020 at 17:29 | comment | added | Eiríkr Útlendi | @LLL: 漬かる is a verb that describes the state of something, like many verbs ending in -aru. In this case, it means "to be immersed, to be soaking in water or other liquid". This kind of state-description is similar to the passive and is often translated using a passive construction (as here), and the derivation is from the same morphophonemic roots, but these -aru verbs are generally not passive in modern Japanese. Also, although imabi.net describes the -asu ending as "contracted", it's more accurate to say that this is the older form, as Aeon's answer notes. | |

I think I understand what this form means, but I still don't understand the double passive I get in English, or is my translation or understanding of this verb wrong? | |
