<動詞の辞書形> + がよい ― How is this allowed? What is the significance of the usage of 連体形 as a noun without の/こと appended in modern usage? How is it different from 連体形+の/こと in terms of meaning/connotations? |

“Arigatō” and “gozaimasu” combined into a single word? @user1205935 does the shortened version follow the "melody"(for lack of a better word) of ありがとうございます? |

Are numbers part of romaji? (i.e. 1, 2, 3 vs 一二三) I suppose I, II, ... XIV etc. would be romaji? |

In general/Generally: 概【がい】して, 一般【いっぱん】に, 全体【ぜんたい】に, 総【そう】じて, なべて, 一体{いったい}に, etc How about 通常? That seems to fit your sentences. |

Use of を and に with 頼る (to depend on) I think this is because there are two ways to use "depend on" even in English. (1). X depends on Y. (2) B depends X on Y. (1) corresponds to your first sentence and (2) your second. |

What do the parts of じゃんけんぽん mean? @sawa. That's pretty funny considering the context of じゃんけんぽん. "It's a primitive clash, venting years of frustrations, bravely we hope against all hope, there is so much at stake" And so we shall settle it with a game of じゃんけん. |

Help with the particle も Can the scope(I'm not sure if scope is the correct word) of も be extended beyond a "。"(終止符)? Is it correct for me to have said that かわいい写真立て is added on top of カード (which is in a previous separate sentence) ? Or does it have to be contained within the sentence like in your answer? |

How to know what Okurigana signify? This is a valid beginner question. The only issue you may notice is that the scope of this question is extremely broad and that could be the reason for the downvote. Answers you receive to this question will tend to be extremely generic. |

How to know what Okurigana signify? @Aerovistae. No. What you see are only for く-ending 五段 verbs, for 五段 verbs ending in う す つ ぶ む ぬ る, they follow the consonant of their respective column (歩く→歩き and 休む→休み etc.). る ending verbs may be 一段 verbs and they inflect differently from 五段. |
