What is the たて in 取れる+たて? About your question; sorry, I dare not hypothesize any more about that. The answer you graciously accepted also "works for me" and the "decision stands" analogy fits intuitively. The idea that "standing" is a cross-cultural metaphor for persisting in a state appear sound. |

Is there a difference between んがため and ために? Aha, I seem to remember one of the answers I pointed to in that discussion discusses む versus ぬ. I will go back to that and read it in detail. |

What is the difference between ～すぎ and ～すぎる? Ah, what must have happened is that I had a garbled edit of this, and ended up saving it accidentally. I'm sure I had it right at some point, but somehow the wrong thing ended up in the answer. |

What is the difference between ～すぎ and ～すぎる? Thanks a lot. I'm going back to look at the prior version. I remember I was struggling with the IME to get it to accept what I'm typing and produce the proper katakana: アルゴリスム体操. This makes for a nice example because it is highly google-able, and points to a fun little tidbit of popular culture. I'm going to put it back; hope ジョンさん does not mind. |

Why does お[馬鹿]{ばか}さん contain honorific お? @ジョン I will take another look. Being lazy, I will get someone Japanese to look over the sentence; I just played it loose and wrote Japanese the way I'm used to hearing it. The ことわず (saying) 灯台基暗し (toudai moto kurashi) deserves an explanation: it means that "it is dark at the base of the lighthouse", a metaphor for the situation of not being able to find what is misplaced right under your nose, so to speak (another metaphor from our own English: it is dark under the nose too, evidently). |

Why does お[馬鹿]{ばか}さん contain honorific お? The honorific particle makes it soft, as well as the -san suffix. Baka is harsh. |
