Addressing a friend's parents when meeting them for the first time This was really helpful, thanks! Yeah, I think I'm going to go with the 郷に入っては郷に従え approach and start paying more attention to how people around me/on TV do it :) |

Addressing a friend's parents when meeting them for the first time I understand what you meant, I'd just never thought of being someone's parent in that sense! Your answer also seems to line up with what Chocolateさん has said. Thanks again ^^ |

への対へ/に-Difference between への and へ/に From me: I suppose you could think of it as "あなたへ/toward you" and the noun "愛/(my) love" being bound together with の to make "あなたへの愛/(my) love for you" :) |

への対へ/に-Difference between への and へ/に I thought a quick translation of Chocolateさん's comment might be helpful: "あなたに私の愛" cannot mean "my love for/to you" as it is. At least, not as a noun phrase. "あなたに" and "あなたへ" are of a form to modify verbs, not nouns. To modify a noun like "愛" or "私の愛" you must use "あなたへの" which can modify nouns. Furthermore, "～にの" does not exist in modern Japanese so if you want to use に you would have to use something like "あなたに対する" or "あなたのための". |

Addressing a friend's parents when meeting them for the first time Thanks for answering! I never considered how ～のお父さん・お母さん could be a 'function' in that sense so you've opened my eyes :) |

Addressing a friend's parents when meeting them for the first time Thanks for the answer! When I suggested last-name plus さん I got the response I noted in the question. But honestly I feel like it might the most appropriate for the reasons you've said. In the end I did actually use last-name+さん when I had to address the mother once and it seemed fine :) |

expressing casual potential for adjectives I've never really thought about a "potential form for adjectives" before and this is just my instinct so I'll put it as a comment but... what about something like ～長くなったりするよね or ～ときもあるよね? |
