Ancient practise of sneaking into women's bedrooms…? Now there are "rabu ho" for that. So what has changed, really. |

What does the だと mean in 日本だと? There is no need to indicate "in" because it doesn't say "when in Japan", It's says "if it's Japan ...". This is similar to "ame da to ..."/"if it's raining ...". If the situation/context is Japan, then ... |

<te form> + っと (conditional particle) と is like if/when but only the logical if/when. と cannot be used like the "if" in something like "if you finish that before me, then come help me". For that we use a -tara verb. |

Difference between 丸い and 円い This jisho has the info: wwwjdic.org (Jim Breen's WWWJDIC). Both spellings are marked with a P which means both are preferred. |

Is タオル used for the towels used at onsen? A better way to ask might be これは 日本語で 何と 言うのですか？ "kore wa, nihongo de, nan to iu n desu ka?" ("... nan te iu no?" with friends). Asking what do you call this in Japanese is a little better than asking what it is. Though they understand, since you're a foreigner from a land where they have towels; but if you were Japanese, that question would look like you've never seen a towel before! |

What exactly is ありき? @Jesse Your comment got me interested. Turns out, this story was based on actual events. There really was such a person, Sugaya Tokuji, and his letter translating shop was on that street. articles.latimes.com/1985-12-25/local/me-21169_1_love-letter |

What is the difference between 見える／聞こえる and 見られる／聞ける? By the way, on a phonentic, tangent, "rareru" iften becomes "reru" in speech. This change has a name: it is called "ranuki" (ら抜き). Removal of the "ra". |

Can there be such a thing as のんでましょう？ You will never get much more than that of anything, no matter what. There is no search in which you can actually scroll through a million results. Google results are capped. Which is not to say that the "hits" number is some exact count (it is an estimate), but going exhaustively through the search doesn't disprove the number. It doesn't mean "this is how many results you can scroll through below". |

Can there be such a thing as のんでましょう？ I agree with you. You have to read some of what is actually being "hit". There could be misspellings, or substring matches that don't even mean what you're looking for (like the suffix of what you're searching for is actually a fragment of another word). |
