studying
勉強中
解説 Definition
studying は study（勉強する、学ぶ）の現在分詞・動名詞です。今まさに勉強している状態や、勉強すること自体を表します。
Studying is the activity of spending time learning about or carefully examining a subject. As the present participle of study, it can describe an action in progress; as a gerund, it can name the activity itself.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 study の y を変えず、そのまま -ing を付けて studying となります。studying は /ˈstʌdiɪŋ/ で、「今勉強している」は be studying、「勉強すること」は動名詞として使います。study English、study in the library、studying every day の型で、対象・場所・習慣と結び付けましょう。
Connect studying with the base verb study. Simply add -ing and keep the y: study becomes studying, not studing or studiing. Use two sentence patterns to remember its functions. In “I am studying English,” it is a present participle describing an action in progress. In “Studying every day helps,” it is a gerund naming the activity. Picture a learner concentrating in a library, since the older word family carries an idea of devoted attention. Common combinations include studying English, studying for an exam, and studying in the library.
例文

studying の語源・成り立ち Etymology
study は古フランス語 estudier を経て、ラテン語 studium「熱意・専心」に由来し、もとは『強く心を向ける』感覚の語です。だから studying は単なる勉強作業ではなく『気持ちを注いで学ぶこと』を含み、関連語に student、studious があります。
Studying is formed by adding -ing to study without changing the final y. Study entered English through Old French estudier and ultimately comes from Latin studium, meaning eagerness, devotion, application, or pursuit. Its history therefore connects learning with sustained attention and effort, not merely with reading school materials. Student and studious belong to the same word family and preserve this association with dedicated learning.
