I accept answers in English, Japanese and French.
日本語、フランス語や英語での答えを認めます。
- I write in British English, so, if you correct my messages, please stick to it (e.g., colour/color, kerb/curb, flat/apartment, marmite/vegemite).
- J'écris principalement en français de France (avec une orthographe non-simplifiée de préférence), mais il m'arrive d'y mélanger du français du Québec.
- 主に標準語で書くんだけど、なかなか流暢に使える東北弁でも書くことがある。んだげんともほどんど通ずねぇがら、使わねごとにすっぺちゃ！

How can I say “some X ” in Japanese? 若干 can contextually mean "quite (a lot)". 多少 is literally "more or less", that is, well, "some" or "a few", yes. |

How can I say “some X ” in Japanese? @Pacerier: I don't know a grammar rule for it, but I would definitely agree. To say "there are hundreds of cats", I'd naturally say "猫が何百匹がいる"。Even just saying "人が何人もいる" would sound to me clearly more than just "there are some/a few people". |

Why the “H” is pronounced Sh in some cases. In Tôhoku, し may even be pronounced "SU" :) |

Reading 男 or 女 as ひと I support this explanation. Very common to say something, but to use different kanjis for extra information. It is, I however believe, mostly restricted to spoken parts. It would happen less frequently in other parts of a text (such as the narrative description, where the author does not have to "fake" a speech by a character, and can use whatever precise words he wants.) |

What does the little っ (tsu) signify when at the end of a word? Could you transcribe here the real examples? (or link to pictures, as there may be more material embedded in the font or pictures of the ads.) |

What is the most natural way to refer to someone when you don't know their name and don't have a close relationship with them? I would swear you can. Also, 奥さん would work pretty well too. |

Is 日語 a good two-kanji stand-in for 日本語 (“Japanese language”)? As far as correctness is concerned, you'll have to ask native speakers. As far as taste and feelings are concerned, I do not like "日語" very much. Even though some other countries use similar characters, do they use the word "国語" too? If not, then it implies it's written in Japanese and that it describes the Japanese language. Still, I think that the "邦" variations are nice, and, well, it's also about learning! |
