I'm used to seeing the verb form as 躊躇う (ためらう, tamerau), rather than 躊躇い (ためらい, tamerai) + する (suru). I was surprised to see a conjugation table using suru over at Jim Breen's site, but then again the site also has a chart for tamerau, and both have been auto-generated, so I'm not sure how much stock to put in this.
Googling results, weeding out many of our echoes:
- google web:"躊躇いする" -wiki -wikipedia -glosbe -wapedia -ordbok -- 106 hits
- google web:"ためらいする" -wiki -wikipedia -glosbe -wapedia -ordbok -- 145 hits
- google web:"躊躇う" -wiki -wikipedia -glosbe -wapedia -ordbok -- over 800K hits
- google web:"ためらう" -wiki -wikipedia -glosbe -wapedia -ordbok -- nearly 2.5M hits
Can any native-J editors weigh in? Is tamerai suru valid Japanese, or is it a lexicographer's error for tamerau? -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 06:02, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
- You don’t say *ためらいする. It is very likely to be a mispronunciation of 躊躇する (chūcho suru). — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 04:34, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you, Takasugi-san. That confirms my suspicions. I appreciate the native-J perspective. (Now to see if we have 躊躇...) -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 05:00, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
