What are the valid potential forms of special “suru” verbs? Right... we can only use できる as 愛することができる, 訳すことができる, 熱することができる, 察することができる. |

Trying to translate 遊ばにゃ損なってなもんだろうがおう！ @cypher-san, Haha you wouldn't have to read more manga~~. Right, I too think there should be a comma. This is manga so its style tends to be so free and original I guess... |

Trying to translate 遊ばにゃ損なってなもんだろうがおう！ The おう is an exclamation. It's not がおう, but 「~~てなもんだろうが」+「おう」. |

Trying to translate 遊ばにゃ損なってなもんだろうがおう！ @dainichi-san, Right, 遊ばにゃ損'な'ってなもんだろうが sounds so awkward. I'd say 遊ばにゃ損ってなもんだろうが too. |

How to “shoo away” a sales clerk? @AndrewGrimm-san, massageではなくてmasa-jiと書いたのは日本人が英語の発音が悪いことを暗に揶揄しているのではないかと。@mogg-san, 今頃お手伝いは結構ですdoesn't make sense. Maybe you're trying to say 今のところお手伝いは結構です? We wouldn't say that either, though. |

What is the meaning of ～たまえ? @cypher-san, Hehe, sorry but you can't tell the difference by the pitch. I think we read them the same way.^^ |

What is the meaning of ～たまえ? も in 減給もありうる might be "even", like in "すらも/さえも" (not "also")? |

Are 終{お}わる and 済{す}ませる synonyms? Hmm I don't agree with this answerer on the '"この場合"「置き換えてもＯＫだと思う。」と、とりあえず答えます' part... |

How to “shoo away” a sales clerk? (1) We never say 今頃[いまごろ]お手伝いは結構です. (2) Lol, what is "unkoza"? Is it standard Japanese? (3)「"いいえ大丈夫です" then you are consenting to their help」--> それは訪問販売と街頭のキャッチセールスの場合でしょ！OP's talking bout 'window shopping'! |

Is ほんの一瞬【いっしゅん】だけ redundant? @atlantiza-san-- Hmm... ほんの一瞬だけ and たった一回だけ sound a bit casual to me but I think 「'ほんの'一瞬見た'だけ'では、判断できません」「あの方とは'たった'一度お会いした'だけ/きり'で、それ以来、何の音沙汰もありません」etc. can be used in rather formal situations... (But why...? Hmm...) |

When is it appropriate to use ごくろうさま? It might be fun to also compare "お疲れ～!" and "ご苦労。" :D |
