I am confused about the meaning of the conjugations of [買]{か}う also the ～ている/～ています forms of verbs are hard to correlate to English, as they can mean a few different things, not just the english verb ending, "~ing." There are some good questions on stack exchange about this as well as this: en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Japanese/Grammar～ている (copy and paste full address) |

I am confused about the meaning of the conjugations of [買]{か}う i think they mean "going to buy" as in "will buy." "I am going to do something" can mean "I will do something." (not necessarily expressing movement) |

How do you write the sound “wu”? I will go on record and say that it's a crime that Swoozie Kurtz is lacking a Japanese wikipedia page. |

How do you write the sound “wu”? maybe スウージー. swoon is スウーン i think. u can prob find Swoosie Kurtz (actress name) in kana somewhere, she was in a few big movies. |

Difference between kara and n desu? I was thinking that although から is frowned upon for ending a sentence (?), perhaps だから would be a little different because it is a separate word? for example "大丈夫だから" is somewhat common, is it not? |

Difference between kara and n desu? @dainichi, thank you. Is it ungrammatical for the same reason that こわいですから。is technically incorrect, or is there another reason. Am I mistaken, or is the exclamation こわいだから! somewhat common colloquially? |

Explanation / Meaning of らしく in 例文 @ Chocolate, thank you for the examples. The English translation seems more like junior high school level to me (readable by a 10 or 11 year old), but Japanese students are probably more precocious than American. |

Expressing hope: to nozomu and koto wo negau what is the meaning of くれる in 父が元気になってくれることを望んでいます。I am thinking of it as "I hope that Dad gets better (for me)" but surely that must be wrong? |

Was there a single word/concept もの which was later split into two (now distinct) kanji 者 and 物? ok that line of thinking sounds interesting. you could rephrase your question to make it clearer but i understand a little more now. |
