する (suru)

possess a lasting characteristic

Meaning & usage

The verb する can describe a noun as having a lasting quality or impression, such as texture, shape, or overall character. Although the entry is listed as する, in this use it appears in the past form した placed directly before the noun, often after an adverb or onomatopoeic expression like ふわふわしたパン or しっかりしたかさ. It is different from temporary states and from the い-adjective form without した.
