Adjectives functioning both as イ- and ナ-adjective I tend to use the な version when i want to emphasize something. I feel like it adds a little more feeling to what you are saying. |

What words are used for dolphin meat? @phoenixheart6 In Japanese fish often have different names depending on their maturity/size. Going off that it wouldn't surprise me if whale/dolphin did too. |

How to distinguish between passive and potential forms of the verb? Maybe worth noting that in conversation the potential form for る verbs is mostly shortened from 食べられる to 食べれる。 |

Meaning of 「そればかりか、〜Vーるというようなことさえ、始めはしない。」 Could this use of ばかりか be a more formal version of ばかりでなく ? Meaning "not only this, but also.." |

Where does the phrase 「ノリが悪い」 come from and what is the meaning? Apparently the origin is from Noh theatre, where ノリ is the term used for the counting of the rhythm. If you had good rhythm ノリが良い, if you didn't ノリが悪い. Which makes sense, as it basically means you don't fit in with the group, or your our of rhythm with the group. |

Use of unit abbreviations in Japanese I don't think ３０度 exclusively referes to Celsius. Obviously it's most commonly used in that regard, but it could also be used to refere to a temperature in Degrees Centigrade, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin. All in the context of the situation I guess. |

Use of unit abbreviations in Japanese In what context? On exams and technical documents I've always seen them written as their abbreviated units (mm/cm, etc). While in novels (a non technical context) it would probably be more common to see them written in katakana. |

What does 「のいう」 mean in this sentence? I think it may used to generalize slightly, by saying "It's like Drucker put it...". Not necessarily restricting itself to that exact quote, but his ideology in general relating to that quote. |

Translation doubts (が, き…) The full sentence being 私い日本が大子きです。? Are you sure it isn't 私は日本が大好きです。? |

What is the difference between とはいえ and と(は)いっても? You seem to be spot on with that Chocolate! I had no idea. |

Is this って equivalent to 「と」？ I think your answer refers to the って used in place of と in more casual forms of と言う & と思う which is different to to the って being used in the question. |
