[wp-svg-icons icon=”arrow-right-2″ wrap=”span”] Be stopped, Be stuck, Freeze / 停止 / 멈춤 / dừng lại

まる” means “Be stopped, Be stuck or Freeze” and which has been used as the meaning of “to not move, to not continue, or to pause”. The basic way to use it is “___がまる。(__ is stopped/stuck)”, etc. For instance, “荷物にもつまる。(A package is stuck.)”, “電車でんしゃまる。(A train stops.)”, etc. The tips for using it are that “まる” is used as “an INTRANSITIVE VERB”, so basically A SUBJECT WOULDN’T BE A PERSON, unlike “める”. Everybody could use “まる” in daily conversations as casual and in business situations as formal such as “電車でんしゃまったね。(A train stopped.)” as casual and “電車でんしゃまりました。(A train stopped.)” as formal and which is also used as polite.
