Feb 19	comment	Expressing “I like to <do something>” Mistake fixed, thanks (I'm telling you so you can fix the answer). :)
Feb 19	comment	Expressing “I like to <do something>” Mistake fixed (so we focus on the other part).
Feb 19	comment	Expressing “I like to <do something>” Yes of course, I asked about the statement "I like", not "I'd like". :) Very clear explanation. Then for the tea one, it should be "お茶を飲むのが好きです", right?
Nov 29	comment	What's the difference between Ichidan/Godan and Ru/U verbs classification? Ahah ok, if you find it, please ping me here. By the way, in your last paragraph, there is a mistake: "One advantage of the this distinction".
Nov 29	comment	What's the difference between Ichidan/Godan and Ru/U verbs classification? Thanks for the answer, Rintaun... Do you happen to have the link to the catchy song? :P
Nov 29	comment	What's the difference between Ichidan/Godan and Ru/U verbs classification? @nkjt Even then my question is pointing in a different direction. That question didn't answer mine (otherwise I wouldn't have asked in the first place). :P
Nov 25	comment	The meanings of 写真{しゃしん} I see, I guess my dictionary is a bit outdated? :D @Chocolate If you could elaborate that as an answer, I'd accept it. :)
Nov 21	comment	What is the difference between 家屋, 家 and 住居 There's also 家庭, apparently.
Sep 15	comment	Online source for Kanji etymology On Meta there is a question about resources with a rather good section filled with dictionaries.
Sep 2	comment	[父]{ちち} vs. [乳]{ちち} — father vs. breast Uhm, is there a reason for this downvote? I don't see any mistakes.
Aug 31	comment	[父]{ちち} vs. [乳]{ちち} — father vs. breast @MartinSojka What a bad mistake. I totally forgot about that. -.- Thanks, fixed.
Aug 31	comment	[父]{ちち} vs. [乳]{ちち} — father vs. breast @MartinSojka Why would that be the case?
Apr 27	comment	learning order for kana? That's why I didn't vote to close or flagged, but they are very close. And yes, they are tied: letters or symbols are taught in alphabetical order. That's why in school you didn't start from Z going backwards, but rather starting from A, B, C, etc.
Apr 27	comment	learning order for kana? Related: What is the equivalent of “alphabetical order” in Japanese? I'm not sure it's a duplicate...
Feb 27	comment	Interpreting a specific Japanese sentence @dotnetN00b The Genitive case expresses different purposes depending on the language. I think that the most common/spread one is the "property", as in "John's car". I think it's also the case of this sentence.
Jan 17	comment	Why is the Hepburn system of romanization generally used over the Nihon-shiki system? +1 :) I was wondering... Why would the Nihon-shiki be preferable? I see as much more "precise" the other one, actually...
Jan 14	comment	Are there any situations where かしら is considered appropriate/normal for males to use? @MarkHosang Some time has passed, but you can cancel the down-vote if the poster edits the answer. :)
Dec 30	comment	Reading of years I took the liberty of slightly editing your body to make it appear "shorter" although the content is the same. :)
Dec 11	comment	Splitting Kanji and okurigana at the end of the line Thank you, especially for the link, I didn't know of such a thing. I'll investigate more into that when I have some time... :D
Dec 3	comment	Are kanji characters made up of radicals only or could they contain strokes that are not radicals? @heefske No problem! :) Glad you appreciated the notes. I also changed the links, this way it's easier to read the text when editing. :)
