When did the “wu” character drop out of use? Another interesting thing about ye... The ん the end of a word is a back of the throat n sound (Uvular nasal ɴ). When making that sound and the moving to え, one naturally makes a y sound (j in IPA???) in the process. That's why 千円 is pronounced 'senyen.' |

What does the final て in 待ってて signify? I would like to say that I think this shouldn't be a big issue. It isn't like we publishing the entire comic. It is a small snippet for educational and demonstrative purposes. Don't freak out, it's okay. The record/movie industries have trained us to think that any little copy is bad. It's not. |

Since Japanese already had several words for rice why was “ライス” (raisu) borrowed from English? I had a ramen place nearby that had 食べ放題 rice. Always seemed weird, but it was good when all I wanted to order was gyoza... but it usually meant I ate too much. :) |

Is the word ハーフ derogatory? An interesting aside... there was a rapper named Lafura Jackson who was half-Japanese, half-Black. His famous quote was "I'm not half, I'm TWICE!" His stage name was A-Twice. He is missed. RIP Lafura. |

Since Japanese already had several words for rice why was “ライス” (raisu) borrowed from English? I would like to point out that I still think it is weird that a ramen place is serving rice at all! Maybe the non-traditional nature of eating rice with ramen mandates use of the word ライス？？？ |

Can 【～たら】 be a short form of 【～てから】? oh, very nice answer. Can you also tell me where ～てから comes from for contrast? |

Can 【～たら】 be a short form of 【～てから】? Ah, you are right, I was thinking ～たら, not ったら |

What is the difference between tori vs. dori? rendaku!!! I have been looking for that word since I took my linguistics class 8 years ago. Thank you. |

Can 【～たら】 be a short form of 【～てから】? I had a feeling that would be the case. Good point about removing the consonant... I'll see if I can't think of any counter examples. :) |

answered | Does “おつまみ” (otsumami) mean “snack” or “rice crackers” or “crunchy snack” like chips and peanuts, or something else entirely? |
