Grammar Notes & Usage Tips
•Use 喜ぶ with the particle を when talking about what someone is happy about—for example, プレゼントを喜ぶ (be happy about the present).
•喜ぶ is often used to describe someone else's emotion, so make sure to name the person clearly, like 子どもが喜んでいる (the child is happy).
•Don’t confuse 喜ぶ with 嬉しい (happy)—喜ぶ is a verb (to be glad), while 嬉しい is an adjective (glad), so they’re used differently in sentences.
