I'm a language-fanatic, an anime/manga fan, and an avid gamer.
Also, I'm super interested in programming languages and hope to someday make it my job.
I currently know/study:
- Japanese (advanced level)
- Korean (just started)
- Hebrew (mother tongue)
- English (judge for yourself)
- PHP, HTML5 + CSS3, Java, Javascript, C#
I usually +1 everyone who comments/answers (unless I forget!) as I feel anyone who takes their time to answer a question deserves to be credited for it in some way.
Especially when they don't necessarily get paid for it.

What does 母を恋はずや mean? @Dono - Yes I've read it, and that's what got my confused in the first place. I thought こは was an old writing style and it grew to be わ... but from what I understand now, it was always わ, just written differently - am I right? |

What does 母を恋はずや mean? A little question, on wikipedia, the romanization is "Haha o kowazuya". Why is the は is pronounced as わ in kowazuya (according to wikipedia)? |

Difference between the many words for son and daughter お嬢さん, unlike 娘さん, can be used to also address strangers and is more honoring. I'd guess that you'd use お嬢さん to address someone's else's daughter if you're not as familiar with them. |

Difference between the many words for son and daughter According to the dictionary it is used more in situation (3) now days, but since one of it's meanings is a "geisha's (concubine's) husband" one should be really careful when using it. Another thing important of mentioning is that by itself (without a suffix), it may sound even rude. The full definition(s) can be found here. |

Difference between the many words for son and daughter @小太郎 - 娘さん and お嬢さん are both under situation (3), while 娘 may appear "as-is" (without a suffix) in situation (1). user1205935 - I'm not so sure about 旦那さん, but researching a little, I found that in the context of "husband" 旦那(さん) would be mainly categorized under situations (1) and (3) where I'm not so sure about (2)... I also read somewhere that this word, unlike 主人, doesn't convey any chauvinistic nuances (it is more informal as well). |

Parsing a specific sentence from a book @dainichi So how will the full sentence translate literally? "That blue line called the HP bar, is the result of the visualizing of my remaining life" perhaps? and snailplane - that's correct :) |

Parsing a specific sentence from a book Haha! Well, that's a funny way to put it, although this is from a book, I highly doubt they'd do something like this in books. I think it's there for explanation... thanks for commenting! :) |

Parsing a specific sentence from a book As for 1, you're correct. 横線 was in fact introduced before in the context. Your translation makes sense as well. Thanks! :) As for 2, if もの is not the subject, what is?, as for the ～した part, in essence, it adds the nuance of "the result of...", right? I'd like to know more about it, and I will therefore open another question later today. Thank you! I appreciate your answer! |

Particle を between nouns I was on a mobile phone, and therefore limited in my ability to edit. Furthermore, how do you define a good question? My question is completely fine according to japanese.stackexchange.com/faq#dontask. What're you're suggesting is a great recipe for pure mess and in-organization, in my opinion. Plus, all of my recent questions are from a book I'm reading, and therefore, are in fact related. By the way, in the same way, I could essentially say your comments are off-topic, and therefore not "good enough", but I won't since I appreciate you and your honest critique. So thank you. |

Particle を between nouns @snailplane - thanks. That's probably it. In the first link you posted, the Japanese comes out as gibberish, is it the same for you? |

Particle を between nouns @TsuyoshiIto I'm in no way trying to force anyone to answer both questions. I appreciate even the slightest hints. In my point of view, posting each question separately would cause a lot of mess and in-organization. As for the "free-rider" term, I don't believe I'm in the position to answer other's questions yet. That's why I'm still learning and asking questions rather than taking the risk of going wrong and possibly misleading other people. In a community like this, users should contribute what they know, rather than what they need to answer. |

What are the usages of のだから? Thank you. Finally an answer :) Isn't の a feminine emotional emphasis..? I don't think it's the case.. Maybe it's the nominalizing の, or the explanation one... In my "nihonshock.com" Japanese cheatsheet (it's a great one by the way), it says that のだから can't be used with reasons which are not self-evident to the listener.. I have no idea how that works in here but it might help... I know for sure that in no way that writer should or can assume the reader has some previous knowledge... |
