Jun 3	comment	Can somebody explain the various words and combinations thereof used for thanking? Well, he asked only about those combinations... :D

Jun 2	answered	Is the use of 先生 and similar titles context sensitive?
Jun 2	comment	Why are the particles “は” (ha⇒wa), “へ” (he⇒e), and “を” (wo⇒o) not spelled phonetically? @hippietrail: Yours is not a dupe but it's highly related. Still, it's a good question, so I was thinking we could merge them maybe? I don't know if that's possible... :\|
Jun 2	comment	Why are the particles “は” (ha⇒wa), “へ” (he⇒e), and “を” (wo⇒o) not spelled phonetically? We might merge the two questions, is it possible? This is halfway between a duplicate and another question :D
Jun 2	revised	Usage of すみません (sumimasen) versus ごめんなさい (gomen'nasai) edited body
Jun 2	comment	Usage of すみません (sumimasen) versus ごめんなさい (gomen'nasai) @syockit: Oh my... Thanks for telling me! XD By the way, you could edit it... :)
Jun 2	comment	How to choose between “よん” (yon) vs “し” (shi) for “四” (4) and “しち” (shichi) vs “なな” (nana) for “七” (7)? Well, I've learned to use the other way, considering the material. But since you raised the "doubt", tomorrow (it's late here) I'll search further info on this matter.
Jun 2	comment	Usage of すみません (sumimasen) versus ごめんなさい (gomen'nasai) Thanks @syockit :) What did you say in the last sentence? I'm not that fluent in Japanese yet :D I can read it but I can't understand the meaning :D
Jun 2	comment	How to choose between “よん” (yon) vs “し” (shi) for “四” (4) and “しち” (shichi) vs “なな” (nana) for “七” (7)? Sure, how? If I may ask...

Jun 1	comment	How to choose between “よん” (yon) vs “し” (shi) for “四” (4) and “しち” (shichi) vs “なな” (nana) for “七” (7)? I disagree on the part regarding the counting: yon and nana are actually the common readings used, although it's an exception to the rule of "use on reading when the Kanji is alone"...

Jun 1	comment	What is the difference between these four forms of “to do”? +1 nice question :D
Jun 1	answered	Usage of すみません (sumimasen) versus ごめんなさい (gomen'nasai)
Jun 1	comment	Usage of すみません (sumimasen) versus ごめんなさい (gomen'nasai) For Spanish apologising, I'd say "Lo siento." more... :D
Jun 1	comment	When to use ください (kudasai) or お願いします (onegaishimasu) in requests? @Tsuyoshi Ito: I understand what you mean now. :)
Jun 1	comment	Is there a difference between ほんとう (hontō) and ほんとうに (hontō-ni) when used alone as interjection or question? @Ignacio: My Japanese dictionary doesn't even mention「本当な」...
Jun 1	comment	When to use ください (kudasai) or お願いします (onegaishimasu) in requests? @Tsuyoshi Ito: Oh, no, you can. :P But the difference is in your reputation. If it's high enough, you can edit things without anyone "accepting" your edit. Of course, the edits can be "rolled back" by the original author or you can also edit an answer/question someone else previously edited.
