For ichidan verbs, potential form is made by changing the ru to rareru. The same is done to change them to passive. e.g taberu -> taberareru (can eat; also, be eaten) For yodan verbs, potential is made by ending with eru and passive by areru. e.g korosu -> koroseru (can kill) korosu -> korosareru (be killed) Now how does one make a potential passive i.e "can be eaten" or "can be killed"?
