What is the etymology of お陰で/おかげで and how does the expression relate to the kanji? @Dono, thanks. Unfortunately I couldn't read all the kanji there and that page would not let me copy and paste. Being technically unsavvy I use safari, but I haven't found a kanji reader for that browser. If anyone knows a good kanji reader for safari, pls tell me. |

Questions on the use of 動物 in reference to mankind/humans i appreciate your answer, but I would like to quibble with your translation, if not for more than to benefit my learning. In 牛乳は牛の乳であるが、 where do you get " from the cow's breast"? I am thinking that である is just a more literary form of です, but does it imply "from" here? I am thinking that you are extrapolating the meaning you provide from the end of the sentence. If i translate it literally, i would think 牛乳は牛の乳であるが = " Milk(as drunk by humans from cows) is milk from cows but,... " (here i take the "from" to correspond to の). thanks for your help |

Questions on the use of 動物 in reference to mankind/humans In the quote牛乳は牛の乳であるが, do you think 乳 means milk or breast? I was thinking that here 牛乳 meant "milk consumed by humans" while 乳 meant animal milk. |
