comment <te form> + っと (conditional particle)
The と treated here (in 寝ていると and in "勉強すると分かる=If you study, you'll understand") and から in "勉強したから合格した=I studied, so I passed" are both 接続助詞(conjunctive particles). weblio.jp/content/%E6%8E%A5%E7%B6%9A%E5%8A%A9%E8%A9%9E The meanings are a bit different, the と means 'if~' and the から means 'because~'.

comment Can there be such a thing as のんでましょう?
Correctly it should be 飲んでいましょう. If you wrote 飲んでましょう in an essay at school you'd get it corrected, that would be too sloppy. We might pronounce it that way when we talk very casually and quickly, but that's not how we're supposed to 'write' at least.

飲んでましょう is not grammatical.

The article on 促音便[そくおんびん] (4-4) here might be some help? ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9F%B3%E4%BE%BF

comment Additional nuance of より with time
Maybe because we already have the expression 五時過ぎ to mean 'a bit after five'??

comment Understanding the たがい in 仲たがい
Oh~~ haha OK I see. But we normally write it as しょうがくかん not as しょうがっかん when we write it in hiragana ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B0%8F%E5%AD%A6%E9%A4%A8

comment <verb stem>+たかない
@ZhenLi-san I just didn't think you were talking about dialectal expressions. And yes, I say 行かへんかった(I didn't go)/見いひんかった(I didn't see)/しいひんかったorせえへんかった(I didn't do) etc.

comment Usage of て-form in 知っての通り
Hmm when we say 「ご存知(ぞんじ?)の通り・ご承知の通り・お聞きの通り・ご覧の通り」, 「ご存知・ご承知・お聞き・ご覧」 are nouns... Can 知って be a noun??

comment What exactly does “るぅ” mean?
No I don't think it expresses contempt or hatred etc. In this case わあ、似合ってるぅ! means 'Wow, it looks good on you~~!'. I think it's normally added to show emphasis or exclamation.
