Difference between sentence final ものだ and ことだ In the song 夏夕空, one part of the lyrics match this question exactly. 人として守るもの、人として学ぶこと。Does it mean "as a person, we are obliged to protect; as a person, learn" ? (I'm trying to grasp the nuance of this kind of もの and こと usage) |

How does the use of いかんによっては in this question determine one answer over another? Now the question of "why does the presence of は do this, and how does this link back to what we know of は?" is begging to be asked. |

What does 血のしょんべん mean? Genitive Case: It is the grammatical case that marks a noun as modifying another noun. A genitive construction involves two nouns - the head (modified) noun and the modifier noun. The modifier noun modifies the head noun by expressing some property of it; including, but not necessarily, possession. |

Why do we use 楽しめそう and 楽しみ rather than 楽しい・楽しそう in these sentences? @Tim. I'm not sure about (1). I don't think that there is any prohibition against 楽しそう. I.e. I think both are fine. |

Can けれども be analysed further? I did not know there were two separate keredomo. I am only aware of the conjunction けれども that is used to connect a disjunctive/concessive clause and that it may be shortened to けれど、けども、けど |

Can けれども be analysed further? @Dono. "Though that keredomo is a different word than the -keredomo that I was describing". There are two different keredomo ? |

what does “mata ha” stand for in this sentence? @cypher Thank you for verifying. I shall correct it. I included "even if" in parenthesis because I thought that it was a more literal one-to-one mapping. I thought the "even if" mechanism of も leads to the "permission" sense of the phrase. |

What does “齓” mean? @user1205935 I let the IME pick the kanji output. Maybe it's not broken/chipped tooth but "tooth that is lacking/insufficient" implying that the adult teeth is the better version? |
