The difference of Transitive and Intransitive verbs may be a great grammatical issue in any language and so is in Native Japanese. When one verb is defined as a Transitive verb in one language (say English) and the (almost) equivalent verb in another language (say Japanese) is defined as an Intransitive verb it causes a problem, and you will face this problem quite often when you learn Japanese.
Verbs show the perception of human beings how they see the world going on.
