東京にいるソフトウェア開発者です。 最近は主にC#関連の開発をやっているが、C/C++もJavaにも経験があります。
一応日本語も英語も出来ますが、英語は中々使えなくて毎年少しずつ忘れている気がします。
日本語の歴史的変遷や語源に興味津々で大学で勉強してきました。 特に奈良と平安時代の上古～中古日本語が詳しい。 残念乍ら、その研究で中々生活が出来ず、代わりにソフトウェア開発をやっています。
他に韓国語にも興味はありますが、得意とはまだ言えません。
A software developer.
I am fluent in English and Japanese.
In my free time, I enjoy reading. I have a background in historical Japanese linguistics.

What does 逃げっこなしにしよう mean? ～にしよう is the volitional form of ～にする. It means "to decide on～". For example, at a restaurant you may say 「アイスコーヒーにする」 "I'll have iced coffee" (? not sure if that is real English or not) meaning that it what you decided on having. In this sentence, you can more literally translate it as: "Listen, when this final candle goes out, a real monster may appear. But, no matter what kind of monster appears, lets ensure that none of use will be running away." |

Difference between 一段 imperatives ～よ・～ろ Monograde (一段) is a verb conjugation type characterized by the irrealis (未然形) and adverbial (連用形) both ending in -i (上) or -e (下). The 1/2 (甲乙) notation indicates two different phonologically sounds. For example, there were two types of ki: /ki1/ and /ki2/. One phonetic reconstruction for this *ki and *kɨ. (The * indicates a reconstruction.) This difference cannot be be written in kana. Look up 上代特殊仮名遣 for further details. These are large topics and cannot be fully covered in a comment, but I hope that this pushes you a bit in the right direction. |

How to answer someone else's phone? (Regarding the last line) Generally it is best to omit the -san for an employee within your company, even your boss, when talking to someone outside of your company. |

Why is it なさそう and not なそう @istrasci Jesse has already responded, but I would like to follow up. This is one case where knowing the historical spelling would help avoid the confusion. Historically, urei was 憂ひ (and 憂へ before that). Hence urepi > ureɸi > urewi > urei. As such, the final -i cannot be adjectival suffix -i. This is a noun. My comment was about the adjective ui. For completeness, note that the adjectival -i derives from -ki with the -k- dropping out. This -ki form is the attributive form of -si. |

Why is it なさそう and not なそう There are more. The number of combinations are few, so it should be easy to verify. Going from the top, ui (憂い) --> usasou. Check Google for usage. |

What is the difference between 「Adj-さと言ったらなかった」＆「Adj-いと言ったらなかった」？ @Hyperworm Same grammatical rules: both may attach to either a noun (phrase) or adjective (phrase). Semantically as well they are the same, but "to ittara ari wa sinai" is restricted to negative sentences while "to ittara nai" is not. |

Is there a generally accepted “rule” for truncating loan words? Do not confuse syllable with mora. The initial ドン in ドンマイ contains 1 syllable but two mora. |

<動詞の辞書形> + がよい ― How is this allowed? This structure is still quite common today. Other than 聞くが良い given above, 知るが良い is often heard. Note though that this is not limited to verbs. Regular 助動詞 and 形容動詞 work. For example, there is 静かなるは... and すべきは..., where 静かなる and べき are 連体形 of 静かだ and べし, respectively. |
