Dec 24	comment	Can 彼 be used as an indefinite pronoun like やつ or 男? i assume 彼が欲しい can also mean "I want my boyfriend" (someone would say this when they miss their boyfriend.) Is this assumption correct?
Dec 23	asked	How does this で work?
Dec 23	comment	Can 彼 be used as an indefinite pronoun like やつ or 男? just to be clear, can 彼 ever be an indefinite person? In these sentences why would it likely not be an indefinite person?

Dec 22	comment	How does this meaning of 笑えないかな work? are ”笑えたらいいのになぁ” and "笑えないかな" different in meaning?
Dec 21	comment	How does this meaning of 笑えないかな work? thanks. I changed my error. Do you think "If only I could laugh," is a good translation? Also, do you mean to say "I wish that I could laugh," as opposed to "'I expect/wish that I can laugh'."?

Dec 18	comment	Is there a keigo expression which can be translated as playing or pretending to do? thank you for the answer
Dec 18	comment	Why are there 3 ways of writing in Japanese? edit: a syllable is not the same as a phoneme. ok i'm done.
Dec 18	comment	Why are there 3 ways of writing in Japanese? @karl- a syllable is not a phoneme. thus a syllabary is not an alphabet. Korean Hangul is an alphabet, the kana system is not. if you want to call it an alphabet, be my guest.
Dec 18	comment	Is there a keigo expression which can be translated as playing or pretending to do? @sawa do you or does anyone else have an informed opinion on the reason for the development of this usage or its conceptual implications?
Dec 14	comment	Why are there 3 ways of writing in Japanese? also i know this site got a bit hectic in the past but i kind of like how rigorous some of the debating is. I mean its annoying when i have to reword a question 10 times but hopefully it makes us smarter.
Dec 14	comment	Why are there 3 ways of writing in Japanese? i understand what you mean, but maybe it's a decent rule of thumb to search for 10 seconds on one's own b4 asking a question? the original question was nonsensical just like if i were to ask why does english use hieroglyphs. I mean I was at the same point once but if someone informed me with the answer i supplied here, i would have been grateful. that being said, I love you dave. I have learned from your questions and answers b4 so i owe you one.
Dec 14	comment	Why are there 3 ways of writing in Japanese? This is a nonsensical question which can be answered vastly better than anyone could attempt here by doing a minimal amount of research. My answer was to supply a link that would answer any questions about japanese writing the questioner could have.
