Featured answer
- Japanese
転ぶ = fall down/over
転がる = roll (intransitive verb)
“転ぶ” sounds like an accident. When the street was frozen, you slip and fall down.
“転がる” sounds like an action. When you toss a bowling ball, it rolls, or “転がる” on the lane.
These two actions can happen in the same accident, like when you fall over on a slope, and can’t stop rolling.
スキー場で転んで、ゴロゴロ転がった。
I fell down on a ski slope, and rolled.
(ゴロゴロ is an onomatopoeia, indicating the sound of something trundling)
