What is the function of と in とある? In short, it's the adverb particle. |

What are some words with kanji/readings/meanings that don't match? You should clarify that you're not actually looking for gikun or ateji. |

Problems with particles It's not so much a special usage of 「～ください」 but rather that 「ください」 is the imperative form of 「くださる」. |

Problems with particles 「ね」 and 「か」 are sentence terminal particles. You want them to give you the shirt, so the shirt is the object of the sentence. |

Distinguishing 沙 from 砂 Sounds to me like the difference between building up (stone) and breaking down (water). |

How to use に with “masu-stem (連用形 stem) + に + Verb” structure "... as illustrated in the following examples?" I'm not sure I see that specific pattern in the sentences, but rather using 「に」 to indicate an indirect object. |

The plural 等 in おいら, おら Well, even if you learn the language, a lot of cultural references will go over your head. |

The plural 等 in おいら, おら Interesting. EDICT shows 「おら」 as 「己」. |

Difference between sentence final ものだ and ことだ I would say that it parallels the meanings of 「物」 and 「事」 themselves... |

Pluralization in Japanese: usage of -たち and -ら The only counterexample I can currently recall is 「[友達]{ともだち}」, but I'm sure there are a few more. |

How to know what Okurigana signify? EDICT claims that it's the counter for pieces of fruit. No clue how it's read though; I'd just use 「いっか」 myself. |

Can anyone explain 涼しげで? Also, 「げ」 in this usage is 「[気]{げ}」. |

How to know what Okurigana signify? These aren't okurigana per se; I suspect that whatever tool you're using to look at them doesn't have or isn't presenting enough context to be able to distinguish from it. |

What's with this “On reading”/“Kun reading” thing? Is it important to learn both as a beginner? You... must have come across some pretty terrible resources if they don't give you the definitions... |

What's with this “On reading”/“Kun reading” thing? Is it important to learn both as a beginner? And note that there can be multiple 音読み readings based on the period when the character was "reimported" to Japan (呉音, 漢音, 唐宋音, etc.). |

What's with this “On reading”/“Kun reading” thing? Is it important to learn both as a beginner? @Aerovistae: Some sequences have other readings whose origin is caused by or lost to history(e.g. 「[今日]{けふ}」-> 「[今日]{きょう}」), and some are 義訓. |
