What's with this “On reading”/“Kun reading” thing? Is it important to learn both as a beginner? @Aerovistae. (1) The parenthesis are okurigana. (2) Capitalisation to indicate onyomi. |

Why is the Japanese government considering adding kanji such as “cancer” to the jinmeiyō kanji? Cancer cells are immortal. Immortality is a good thing. =D |

How do I “understand” kaomoji? (Japanese smilies) @Dave. This question is an edge case of what constitutes language. It has 5 upvotes, yet it has been voted to close by 5 people. I wouldn't necessarily conclude that a large proportion of JLU users consider this inappropriate. I feel the only problem is that it is really difficult (not necessarily impossible) to provide specific, conclusive answers for what any given kaomoji means/represents. I'm voting to reopen this as an edge case. |

Sentence structure/element order @JNat. Japanese is not my primary language so regrettably I am unable to assist you further in the finer nuances. My intuition says that there are changes, but not as dramatic as you think they are. Even in English the nuances are not just determined by order within the sentence, but also by cues such as type of words used (if they carry connotations), tonality, volume, body language et cetera. |

Sentence structure/element order @JNat I think there are differences with English as well. The first sentence you provided seems neutral, the second one has some emphasis on "tomorrow" and the third one has some emphasis on "with a colleague". This is what I feel. |

What conjugation/form is the ませ (for example: いらっしゃいませ)? @dotnetN00b I've been told that they're not significant in terms of modern analysis of Japanese grammar. But I'll add it in anyway. |
