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.

When to use ください (kudasai) or お願いします (onegaishimasu) in requests? Sorry for my cut & paste error. I can use the IME but I don't trust its kanji conversions since my kanji knowledge is so limited so I've been cutting and pasting from Google searches instead. |

What is the significance of [の] (no)? @Madcowe: Yes exactly like "de" in Spanish, my second language (-: |

How to use へ (-e), に (-ni), まで (made) and の方 (no-hō) with destination and direction? In this case it seems to conflict with what Nate Glenn says in his answer, "まで emphasizes the process or journey" in his answer on japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/80/… |

How to use へ (-e), に (-ni), まで (made) and の方 (no-hō) with destination and direction? Actually I'm hitchhiking in Japan (for the third time) and it's very often the very first thing they say but now it's unclear to me whether they're asking my ultimate destination or my direction. I was taught "~の方" so I could ask to be taken in the direction of Osaka or somewhere even if not the whole way. |

Why were ゐ and ゑ eliminated? I would be very interested to know in which dialects these sounds still appear. |

When going somewhere, is there any difference between e (へ) and ni (に)? I was told "の方" (no-hō) means "in the direction of" - is this just more explicit? See my broader question: japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/275/… |
