Is it true that 獲物 can be used in the "prey" sense, for example what would be the difference between こいつは俺の獲物だ and こいつは俺の餌食だ?

@Chocolate Sry, also I was wondering would 所詮 or どうせい be more natural in the sentence: XXあいつらは動物だ、なくなってもかまわない。

@Dave Cool, does this apply to names of places as well?

Hmm, maybe I should have used the term "linguistically valid"...

So you are saying that it is grammatically valid to arbitrarily assign any readings to a kanji?

comment How to decide to use どうせ or しょせん?
@Chocolate Hmm, so do you mean that 結局 is the best word to replace どう in the sentence "どうせ私はネイティブではありませんので~~", or are there better alternatives?

comment How to decide to use どうせ or しょせん?
@Chocolate But using どうせ, there will be a "grumbling" connotation right? Is there a word that is commonly used in conversation but doesn't have the "grumbling" connotation?

comment “causative of negative” vs “negative of causative”?
@sawa Hmm, with that we have "tabe-sase-nai" meaning "forcing you not to eat", and "tabe-naku-saseru" meaning "forcing you to not eat". But since "forcing you not to eat" and "forcing you to not eat" is the same thing, what is the difference between "tabe-sase-nai" and "tabe-naku-saseru" ?
