comment Can 助動詞(auxiliary verbs) be used with other 助動詞?
@firtree Even if these are two different examples, I still do not see where there would be two verbs being combined, here :) 手続きが無事に終わりました。 and 〜お目にかかり、相談しました。 Whatever compounds there are here are actually being broken up by particles or punctuation... as far as I can tell. ^^;

comment Can 助動詞(auxiliary verbs) be used with other 助動詞?
@firtree Just for my clarification, what are you wanting this example sentence to say in English? At the moment, I don't see a place in that sentence where there are two verbs being combined... :) (I do see places where there is a noun+verb being combined... and where there are some dropped particles... but I do not see a place where two or more verbs are being combined.)

@snailboat Thanks; for the sake of this particular question, I am mostly trying to borrow a couple of examples from the paper to illustrate that there are times where triple verb compounds can occur. :) I haven't heard of the term "lexicalized compound verb", before; thanks for the comment.

comment What is the meaning of “beta”?
@eru Interesting transition with the "cliché" idea to "what else"... it does seem to sound a bit more modern than using the actual word "clichéd" in the sentence, like this: "It might sound a little clichéd, but my next destination is Chicago."

Could you provide a little more context for where you found this word (where it appears... or if this word is written in katakana, etc.)?

Sorry for the confusion in my answer; nice question :)

comment Appropriate way to say thank you
Is there any way this question could be a bit more focused? If this question were narrowed down to a particular case within Japanese business language, it might be easier to answer? :)

comment Difference between った and ってた
@istrasci Sorry about that; I just didn't feel like the thought would have enough weight for a complete answer :/ Expanded the comment a little in an answer below, though.

comment Does all kana in the う line rhyme?
"but not any other pair"? :) In (modern-day) normal circumstances, each syllable of the "う line" (う、く、す、つ、ぬ、ふ、む、ゆ、る) does rhyme. :) There will be times where people shorten the pronunciation of す... and times where a small っ won't be voiced... but technically speaking, that whole う line would normally rhyme.

What if you were to just use something like: "お久しぶり"?

comment Should I use On reading or Kun reading for numbers?
@BraedenOrchard Here's at least one general "rule" you could keep in mind when it comes to ON vs KUN readings for words in Japanese (in general): use ON when you have combined kanji (for example: 天気{てんき}, 漢字{かんじ}, 同情{どうじょう}, etc.) and use KUN when you have single kanji or single kanji+hiragana (for example: 緑{みどり}, 書く{か}, 読む{よ}, etc.) This is just a general idea of a "rule", though, and there will probably always be exceptions (especially when reading books... where character readings might be more varied than normal.)

@silvermaple At the same time, I'm not without at least some bias in this overall post... :) so, please take my earlier response with a grain of salt :|
