Mar 2	comment	expressing casual potential for adjectives Yes, I was joking with my comment. :)
Mar 1	comment	expressing casual potential for adjectives -1 plagiarism point.
Mar 1	comment	Combining two い-adjectives without using て Yes, it usually behaves like one, but not in this case. Actually, I can't really explain this except to say that `直射日光の当たらない` is modifying `涼しい所`, not `直射日光の当たらない` and `涼しい` modifying `所`.
Mar 1	comment	Combining two い-adjectives without using て `あたらない` is not an イ-adjective.
Mar 1	comment	expressing casual potential for adjectives You could also use `〜こと(は・が・も)ある`.
Feb 28	comment	迷宮 vs 迷路 Yes about the games. If you Google for The Legend of Zelda, `ゼルダの伝説` and either `迷路` or `迷宮`, you will see many results for both words.
Feb 27	comment	Why are い-adjectives often used as nouns? It also talks about the noun form of イ-adjectives. I didn't mean it would necessarily help answer your question.
Feb 27	comment	「日本語で、送って」What are the contexts of this usage of “send”? See lengthy discussion HERE for more information.

Feb 26	comment	Textbook on Technical Japanese This kind of question is off-topic and will probably be closed. Check the resources topic on Meta.
Feb 26	comment	Politeness level congruency I would say your symmtery if flawed; you know, given your name. :D
Feb 26	comment	what exactly does the suffix とはいえ　mean? I don't think it's the imperative. I think it's the stem of `言える`, making it more along the lines of "You can say...".
Feb 26	comment	What separates the different ways to ask a question in Japanese?(I.E. 何, どう, どんな and so on) `I tend to think of （こ・そ・あ・ど）んな as contractions of （ど）のような〜`... That's because they are.
Feb 25	comment	What separates the different ways to ask a question in Japanese?(I.E. 何, どう, どんな and so on) Not really sure what you're asking. What do you mean by "What separates (them)"?
Feb 25	comment	What's the difference between お待ちになる and 待たれる? I agree that `お〜になる` is more often used when speaking to the person, and `（ら）れる` is more often used when speaking about the person. At least how I've seen it.
Feb 25	comment	What's the difference between お待ちになる and 待たれる? @BirkanAras: In addition to what snailplane said, `待たれる` is also not 可能形. The 可能形 of `待つ` is `待てる`.
