Formed from Vte + shimau.

Note that shimau conjugates as a normal godan verb.

Vte = -te form verb (死ぬ -> 死んで) (contributor: Amatuka)

Note that the Vte+shimau can be shortened in one of two ways depending on
the kana used for the 'te' form verb.

e.g. 死んでしまう → 死んじゃう
凍えてしまう → 凍えちゃう (contributor: Amatuka)

Not always used in negative nuance. (contributor: Amatuka)

this is very good (contributor: tarun rana)
