Can 趣味{しゅみ} be used with a verb?


Can you combine 趣味{しゅみ} with a verb?

>   1. 趣味{しゅみ}はジョギングをします。  
>  translation: My hobby is jogging. (verb)
>   2. 趣味{しゅみ}はジョギングです。  
>  translation: My hobby is jogging. (noun)
>




趣味はジョギングをします is incorrect; it sounds like there is a person called Shumi who
is jogging.

If you want to say "My hobby is ～ **ing** ", you need to use [a
nominalizer](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/1395/5010).

>   * 趣味は走ることです。 My hobby is running.
>   * 趣味は本を読むことです。 My hobby is reading books.
>

ジョギング(する) is a suru-verb, which means the part before する works also as a noun.
So you can say both of the following, although the latter is redundant and
wordy:

>   * 趣味はジョギングです。 My hobby is jogging.
>   * 趣味はジョギングをすることです。 My hobby is jogging.
