I'm hitchhiking around the world, learning bits of the languages on the road as needed. At the start I had a trip in Japan from Shimonoseki -> Osaka -> Kyoto -> Yamagata up the west coast -> Tokyo down the east coast -> Shimonoseki.

I'm now in Korea where I come across a bit of Japanese language and often compare it to Korean.

Aug 30	comment	Onigiri and nigiri Also "ball" is kinda historic. Traditionally onigri were hand made and spherical. These days many are factory made and one very common kind is triangular. There can be many fillings other than meat or fish and they are not always wrapped in seaweed. Oh and I ❤ them.

Jul 30	comment	How many forms can a Japanese verb take? This seems to apply that in Japanese there are no restrictions on which auxiliaries or affixes can be used together, which would be surprising when compared to other languages with agglutinative verb morphology such as Georgian.

Jul 29	comment	How many forms can a Japanese verb take? @sawa: Hmm if you wouldn't use the term "verb form" to describe the result of adding a grammatical combination of such affixes to such an invariant verb root, which term would you suggest?
