～ã¦ã—ã¾ã† and the past tense ～ã¦ã—ã¾ã£ãŸ are endings for verbs indicating a sense of completetion or finality. The event that has happened is totally complete and most likely irreversible. Like '猫ãŒæ»ã‚“ã§ã—ã¾ã£ãŸã€‚' This sentence doesn't just mean 'The cat died.' It indicates a sense of regret, a sense that you cannot change this reality. 電車ã«é…ã‚Œã¡ã‚ƒã£ãŸã€‚ I missed the train. 宿題ã¯ã‚‚ã†ã—ã¡ã‚ƒã£ãŸã€‚ I've already finished my homework. And in your examples: ã‚„ã‚ã¡ã‚ƒã†ï¼ã€€I give up. I quit. 忘れã¡ã‚ƒã† = I (completely) forget. 忘れã¡ã‚ƒã£ãŸ = I have (completely) forgotten.  |
