What does ～と見てよい/～と見ていい mean? How did it have its meaning? So if I try to derive it from ~見て+いい, would it be "seeing it as ~ is acceptable(good)" ? |

What is an expression that means “of course!” as if suddenly realizing something? @user1205935 Can 当たり前 be used in telling yourself how obvious it is, at the moment you realise how obvious it is? Then it would be some sort of exclamation "but of course!" to yourself. |

Japanese newbie, Chinese intermediate, how to get started? That being said, you may want to look at the meta post for learning resources. Knowledge of Chinese may come in handy for learning kanji, but Japanese and Chinese are very different languages. Basically, you will have to start from the beginning. |
