I started learning Japanese at college in 2005 and have been an enthusiast ever since. I fan-translate Japanese light novels to keep my skills sharp.

Does the Japanese language only have negative terms for flirting? Could you edit the title of this question (and possibly the beginning of the question as well) to make it clearer that you're asking about how to talk about the act of flirting? As it stands, it sounds like you're asking a cultural question, not a language one, but a few edits could fix that. |

What does 男前 mean when used to describe a woman? If it helps, this is how I translated the sentence I posted: "Maybe, if Tedzuka was willing to put up with Satoshi's capricious phone calls, he could lighten that cheeky, [handsome] woman's burden just a little." |

What does 男前 mean when used to describe a woman? Thank you for your help! Looking at the book, I don't think the surrounding sentences are going to help much--they're very plot-heavy. But I've put most of the page into Pastebin here. Basically what's happening is that 手塚 has a brother, 慧, who keeps calling him even though they had a falling-out a long time ago. 手塚 doesn't want to take his calls, but 慧 is in charge of an organization, the 『未来企画』, that Tedzuka and the woman he's thinking about are trying to get information on. 手塚 decides to start taking 慧's calls so she won't endanger herself for the info. |

What does 男前 mean when used to describe a woman? Ooh, thanks for the pictures. I can sort of see what they're getting at. You're right that it's not incompatible with conventional beauty. |

What is a ダンディー? @languagehacker I have deleted your answer to this question. Its tone was unsalvagably rude and could only serve to further inflame those who are already upset over this post for other reasons. Please try and be more civil, and try to reflect on why your recent questions are getting the kind of feedback they are, and what you can do to ask questions that will be better-received by the community. Thanks! |

Are there words so bad that they aren't allowed on television? @Dave Ha ha, I do that all the time. It's the linguistic equivalent of thinking of a swing set or something as huge because you last saw it as a small child. :) |

Is there a specific term that refers to female sword fighting? Link? Is this specific to Japanese culture? Otherwise I'm not sure you'll get a good answer. |

Does なかなか (with negative verb) mean “by no means” or “considerably”? formatted question title better |
