Counter for 熊 (bears): ひき or 頭? I think 頭 can also be used if you are a frequent bear hunter. Though you usually hunt maximum one for a day, you could use it for your monthly count. (DISCLAIMER: I am not encouraging bear poaching. Save them bears! Use them as karate training partners!) |

How do we use the word 短~ in a sentence? kanbun-y → verse-like. But man, I don't know the adjective for verse, can we use it as adjective? |

What is the difference between 蔵, 倉, and 庫? Did you draw all by yourself? Neat! It's not plain MS-Paint. |

Can 首 be used to refer to students who have just graduated and not yet found a job? To the gallows! |

Figuring out Aに助かりました Did you randomly come up with the sentence, or did you happen to pick it up somewhere in a native literature? |

Figuring out Aに助かりました I suppose it means に can't be used to point at the agent for this particular verb. |

What dialects use だべ？ I think it's because Saitama borders Gunma, Tochigi (Ashinori-ben, not mainstream Tochigi-ben) and Ibaraki, where usage such dialect is more prominent (Gunma has だんべ). The southern part of Saitama is more similar to that of southern part of Kantō (Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa). |

Omitting the particle で in Xでもない @Lukman Because でも cannot be contracted into も in this context, the only other sensible thing to make out of this sentence is to defer the meaning of 約束 to its other meanings i.e. one that is not "promise", and is related to other predicates. I'll edit the answer to clarify things a bit. |

What does さちゅえい mean? @language you're correct on that one, but just to note that sometimes such "kiddish" spelling is made to entice newbies. |

ことができる versus V~える form <sarcasm>Without using ことができる, you can't build awesome sentences such as 「意地になって争って秘孔の事を刺すことを入れることをすることにふれることができません」</sarcasm> |

How do you classify a word like “電子レンジ”? @sawa I was mistaken about 高等学校 being 外来語, because I thought everything non-固有語 is 外来語. Then I just found out yet another category: 借用後 (which is a superset of 外来語), which has another subcategory 漢語 (which 高等学校 belongs to). BTW, ノートパソコン might be a compound, coming from the word ノート (和製英語) and パソコン (contraction of 外来語), assuming they made up the word without referring to the English word "notebook computer". |

「安い」って英語からきた表現？ 少なくとも現代文学(マンガニメを含む)においてはよく聞く表現です。 |
