Oct 15	comment	Is there a difference between 赤{あか} and 赤色{あかいろ}? @DaveMG I understand. But since I could provide an explanation on that, I did (although I know it wasn't the info you actually wanted to know). :) I'm not sure I could give a good explanation on Japanese yet.
Oct 15	comment	Is there a difference between 赤{あか} and 赤色{あかいろ}? @DaveMG The genitive case (it's a grammatical case, like nominative, dative, etc.) usually indicates the "belonging" to someone (also other things, depending on the language); in English, for example, "Ivan's car", where <'s> indicates the belonging, and Ivan is in the genitive case. In Russian it's more explicit: the same sentence would be "Машина Ивана", where the original "Иван" (Ivan) turns into the genitive case "Ивана" (Ivan-a). I don't know if I explained it well. :D

Oct 14	comment	Board / Card game expressions @Flaw I was just trying to explain why it was probably down-voted, I can't answer that completely since I didn't. :D I think that we should encourage a "down-vote and comment" behavior. So that the OP or the answerer can improve their posts. After that the down-vote might even be removed, since it can be done after an edit.
Oct 14	comment	Board / Card game expressions @Flaw I didn't down-vote this question, but if you put your mouse over the "down-vote button", you'll see that its description says "This question does not show any research effort; it is bla bla". Note that it says "does not show" which means that maybe the OP did some research, but we can't know because there's nothing about it in the question.
Oct 14	comment	Can 野郎{やろう} really have that many meanings? Well, they don't have to be huge, just regrouped differently. This way it looks like a list and it's more difficult to go through it. Now that I know you're against it, I won't edit it, but I had to tell you. :)
Oct 13	comment	Board / Card game expressions @Hyperworm It is okay, yes. Actually it's what you're supposed to do with Community Wikis I think :D
Oct 13	comment	Can 野郎{やろう} really have that many meanings? I've heard the use described by @phirru as well. (I'm not a native speaker.)
