Formed from Verb -masu + kiru
Note that 'kiru' conjugates like a normal verb
(e.g. past tense, negative etc are possible)
Vm = Verb -masu base (contributor: Amatuka)
is this somehow related to shimau which also means to complete?
(contributor: infinite_trial)
I believe kiru is more informal and prose in nature than shimau.
(contributor: eidolon_shell)
The difference between shimau and kiru is not a matter of informal and
formal, I don't use the words in that way as a native.Their nuance are
different and they are used in a different way.
Kiru would be one intend to finish doing something 'to the end.'
Shiamu would be one finish something, 'sometimes' with the nuance it was
against one's will.
