comment Terms for Royalty
詳しい! I have some questions though. For 女王 you say "Queen (female King)" and 王妃 you say "Queen (King's wife)". 1) Does 王妃 imply that the king is still alive? 2) Can we infer anything about a king from 女王? Does 女王 imply that her husband the king died? Or maybe that there never was a husband/king at all? Or is it ambiguous?

comment What's the meaning of しない as in …するしない?
Clearly it's not limited to nouns. I can only say that sometimes textbooks do things like that, that make you scratch your head.

comment What's the difference between 心, 念, and 意?
I don't agree with your definition of 悪意. Every place I've looked it up says "ill will" and "malice". I would say this is more of a passive aggression; an intent/desire for someone/thing else to be hurt, rather than for you to do something bad.

[[ Sometimes simplicity is better, in Japanese. ]] -- Yes you're right, but see my comment to @anonymousen below.

comment What's the most appropriate negative potential form for this situation?
My question is not about how to get my point across. I'm asking specifically about those negative potential forms.

comment への対へ/に-Difference between への and へ/に
Does the への対へ/に of the title correspond to "への vs へ/に", or does it have something to do with the に対する you wrote about? Confusing...

comment Can ご存じです function as a transitive verb?
Thanks, I was trying to find an eloquent way to answer this topic, but couldn't form anything coherent. This is what I was going for.

comment pronounciation of じょ and よ
I almost can't differentiate じょ and よ sounds. - You mean when you're speaking, correct? Not when listening?
