Payment types in receipts Could MS just be for "magnetic strip" (磁気ストライプカード), indicating how the card was scanned (as opposed to ICカード, where you read the info from the chip and put your PIN in) |

Can anyone provide a detailed definition of あんぐり and say if the expression あんぐりと口を開けて is redundant? @TsuyoshiIto: That's interesting! I always thought this sort of も was 'bound' to the verb - that if you said Xも開く then it only indicated that there might be a Y,Zも開く (unstated). I guess it works in this case because the other actions are related? |

The meaning of kakemawaru 駆け回る I think this dictionary entry pretty much covers it. |

Kana to kanji mapping for a rōmaji keyboard The point is that it's not enough to have a list of "kanji symbols". You need to know words, which will be made of some combination of hiragana, katakana, and kanji, and you need some way of ranking the possible options. You need to deal with words which will be different from in a dictionary, e.g. a dictionary will have 痛{いた}い but an IME must recognise that いたかった is the same word in a different form. The most sensible solution: get an existing IME designed for whatever input system (keyboard, touchpad, etc) the device uses, and customise the dictionary if you need to. |

What's the difference between Ichidan/Godan and Ru/U verbs classification? possible duplication of japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/1348 ? - oops, sorry didn't see you'd linked that in - but I don't see how it's different. To me the comments/answers on that make it clear that these are all just ways of naming the same thing. |

Kana to kanji mapping for a rōmaji keyboard @Throwback1986 That's not how IMEs work. If I typed in ちゅう (and most go from hiragana to kanji, katakana doesn't come into it) I won't get 虫 as the first option - it's well down the list; if I type in ちゅうすいえん I can expect to get 虫垂炎. People type in words and convert them; they don't do it one kanji at a time. At least run a mockup of your planned system past somebody who knows Japanese - preferably a potential end user. |

The meanings of 写真{しゃしん} The same as in English, where most people no longer talk about 'going to the pictures'. If you're using a dictionary based on EDICT (almost certainly if it's a web-based English-language interface), you should remember that it does have some errors, but more to the point, tends to cast its net very wide and will include obscure/archaic terms, which won't always be marked as such. Other dictionaries (I use dic.yahoo.co.jp which does have J-E and E-J dictionaries) have more explanation. |

What's the difference between 捕らえる and 捕まえる? @Nescio The markers/abbreviations used differ but there will be something called 凡例 which explains what the meanings are. Alternate kanji will be listed at the top of the entry, usually with markers that show if they are non-joyo or joyo with non-joyo readings. If there are multiple meanings/uses, some might have notes suggesting which kanji to use for which meaning. For example, if you look up みる, one meaning is something like "to examine", in a medical sense. This meaning has the note (「診る」とも書く) next to it, basically meaning 'is also written 診る.' |
