Is 来おった the 連用形{れんようけい} of くる plus おる → おった? This is a bit of a long shot but would the use of おれば in the passage from my question " Meaning of 「おれば」＆「大手を振る」" convey a condescending tone on the part of the writer? |

What's the difference between 申し出 and 提案? I don't want to distract from the context of your book but I see 提案／proposal as an idea put forward ("supplied/提供"）formally after some thought (案じること）. Like most 2-kanji/音読み compound verb it seems suited to formal/written situations. 申し出 on the other hand, as its kanji suggests seems to include more spontaneous verbal actions, and as an offer, it is likely to be made in humble terms (ie 申し出ること). This seems to be consistent with the example in my dictionary: 「援助の＿＿がある」 |

What's the difference between 申し出 and 提案? If somebody else has a better insight then I should be interested too but is it not as simple as the difference between an offer and a proposal? An analysis of the kanji making up each word seems and the examples from 完全マスター seem to support this ー I don't remember any additional insight from 完全マスター N1 either. |

Online source for Kanji etymology If you recommend this website then perhaps you could add it to the resources page on the meta site? |

Difference between 切る and 切れる？ I see, thanks. Digging into my books I've also found that ~切る＝全部〜する and 〜きれる＝全部〜できる. What's more in the former case most examples are transitive but there are some exceptions, （１）「絶対にやれる」と言いきった （２）困りきる （３）疲れ切る. Is this because in (1) we have a quote and in (2) & (3) the other verbs are intransitive? |

Difference between 切る and 切れる？ Well that couldn't be simpler. Thanks. Is there by any chance an equally easy reason why 切れる is used in the above compound verbs? (Two are transitive, one is intransitive.) |

referring to children: 子, 子供, or お子さん? I may sound old fashioned here but to me the difference between 子供 and 子 is similar to the difference between "child"/"the children" and "kid"/"the kids", or at least it was once upon a time. (These days people seem more likely to refer to "the kids" in place of "the children" in all situations.) |

Meaning of 「おれば」＆「大手を振る」 Thank you. Your answer addresses just what I was asking, from perspective I needed. (I suspect these text books deliberately choose sloppy/difficult Japanese to replicate real life but it is rarely explained. ) |

How to describe the inside of one's mind? This answers your question title not the detail but: 胸の中を明かす= unburden oneself / confide ｟in a person｠ ある考えが胸に浮かんだ= An idea occurred [came] to me： 自分の胸によく聞いてごらんなさい= Ask yourself. / Ask your own conscience：これで胸がすっとした= This takes a load off my mind. |

Meaning of 「おれば」＆「大手を振る」 No, it is definitely おれば(I thought the same myself when I read it). |

[plain form]-んじゃない And also in the rue/regretting sense: eg あのとき、田中にしゃべるんじゃなかったよ (We should not have spoken to Tanaka that time (I wish we hadn't spoken with...)) |

What nuance brings “ですな”? ＠user1205935: Sorry but I assume いい天気ですの & いい天気じゃの are also speech used by men >40 but what are their "normal" equivalents? |
