Comments on: Advanced Japanese I: Transitive? Intransitive? Confusing?

Off and on I could get them straight, but I almost always confused them 'cause they're so similar! I know it's just the English way of describing the verbs, but the Japanese is way easier for me to keep straight.  他動詞means an outside force is doing the action to something (maybe it's intransitive?) and 自動詞means you do the action yourself. Or something. lol Though I think it's best just to learn HOW to use the verbs and not think too hard what type it is anyway. :) I hate how we have to learn them with the titles “transitive” and “intransitive.” Off and on I could get them straight, but I almost always confused them ’cause they’re so similar!

E.g miru (see) and mieru (be seen/come into view) vs mirareru (be seen, the passive form, I do NOT mean 'Can see') and mierareru (passive of instransitive). What is the distinction than? all that is fine but how do you tell the difference between the passive form of a transitive verb and its intransitive counter part.
