How to use Agaru: grammar notes
•The verb "上がる" can be used to describe not only physical movement, such as "the elevator going up" (エレベーターが上がる), but also the increase in numbers or level like "the temperature rises" (気温が上がる).
•Remember that "上がる" is a godan verb, so to create the negative form, you replace the "る" with "らない", making it "上がらない" which means "does not rise" or "does not go up".
•In Japanese, we often use the particle "が" with "上がる". For instance, "彼の声が上がる" means "His voice rises". So, keep an eye for the "が" particle when using "上がる".
