Is there an objective source of the origins of kanji? @repecmps no he's asking, for example, where the Kanji for mountain "山" came from... I knew for example it came from the drawing of three mountains... But he was asking for an objective source. |

How did “little tsu” become a lengthener? Don't worry, you can ask "side-questions" like this one. :) |

What to say after someone sneezes @Derek Thanks for the comments. I guess the best way to take is to avoid saying something. Or if we really wanna say something, we might use the "bless you" expression; but a language is not simply words and grammar, it's also, and maybe above all, culture. If we use a language without taking into account its symbiosis with the culture, we are ignoring an important part of the language itself. That's my opinion. :D |

If I wanted to sound more like a Samurai, what words and phrases should I learn? We can make this a community wiki, so everyone can answer and the question is not "subjective" anymore. |

What's the standard for making plurals of Japanese words in English? Yeah, this is a question about English. You might post it on the English SE but before you do it, check if there are duplicates of your question. :D |

What is the significance of [の] (no)? @Madcowe @Lukman "Watashi" means "I", but "watashi no" means "my", be careful. "Ore wa" means "I" as well, but it's more rude (especially in certain contexts and very masculine-sounding). |

Is there a general counter word for objects that you can fallback on if you're not sure which one to use? @Boaz Yaniv: I know the simplified version of that, which is 个. :D |
