Hello, everyone. How are you doing?
I have a question,
“The window is open”, [mado ga aite imasu]
“The window is open”, [mado ga akete arimasu]
“The window is open” [mado wo akete okimasu]
What are the differences between them?
(Vi)te imasu
“Mado ga aiteimasu” indicates the window was opened at the certain time in the past and is still open. Verbs are intransitive verbs (Vi).
We will start with “mado ga aiteimasu”.
Repeat after me
[00:39]
1. → The door is open.
2. → The door is closed.
3. → The light is on.
4. → The light is out.
5. → My shoes are dirty.
6. → It’s locked.
7. → A button came off.
8. → The plastic bag is torn.
(reji bukuro = plastic bag (one you get at the cash register of supermarkets or convenience stores.)
9. → Furniture fell over.
10. →The building is still on fire.
So far so good?

Now, next is, “mado ga akete arimasu”
Vt-te arimasu
“madoga aketearimasu” emphasises that the situation exists as a result of somebody’s deliberate action. Verbs are transitive verbs (Vt).
