1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

  • Structure: 飽きる(あきる) is an intransitive verb for losing interest or satisfaction through repeated exposure to something.
  • Basic usage: It describes tiring of a repeatedly played game, or conversely a view one never grows tired of.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

  • に marks what one tires of
    • ゲームをする marks the game as the object of an activity. ゲームに飽きる instead uses for what one becomes tired of.
  • Regardless of repetition
    • 何度眺めても飽きることがない means never tiring of the view, however often one looks. ても and the negative together express a feeling unchanged by repetition.
