Transitive and intransitive verbs

[WonkoTheSane]

Does anyone know of a system of memorizing the verb pairs?

Thanks!

As I wrote in the thread linked above, "unfortunately, there's no fixed rule", so you need to just memorize them...

Thank you very much, Toritoribe san.

This is not really what you're asking for, but I can offer a suggestion: rather than remembering 抜く=transitive, 抜ける=intransitive, etc, etc, try to recall short phrases, e.g.

くぎを抜く vs 髪の毛が抜ける

I feel this makes it easer to use them in practice.
