intransitive

Of a verb, not requiring a direct object to complete its meaning.
Adjective

This term is a technical linguistic descriptor used primarily in grammar and lexicography. It describes a specific structural property of a verb where the action does not transition to a receiver or object, meaning the sentence is grammatically complete with just the subject and the verb.

In a pedagogical context, it is often contrasted with transitive verbs. While a transitive verb requires an object to make sense (e.g., "throw" requires something to be thrown), an intransitive verb describes a state or an action that stays with the subject (e.g., "arrive" or "sneeze").
