I am a computational linguistics PhD candidate. But before that, long before that, I fell in love with languages.

Usage of doubled non-past tense “た” Interestingly, Mandarin and Cantonese both have a similar construction: sik6 jo2 keoi5 laa1 (gloss: eat PERF it PART): "Eat it up!", but more literally something like "(Be in the state of) having eaten it!" |

Why is English “ka” and “ca” sometimes rendered as キャ (kya) instead of カ (ka)? @Hyperworm: What istrasci said is true in particular dialects: in Californian English, for example, RP [æ] corresponds to something like [eə]. (However, Californian English is a rhotic dialect, so 'care' would come out like [keɚ].) |

が早いか versus や否や "Japanese Core Words and Phrases" by Kakuko Shoji has a little bit about ~が早いか. The book contrasts it with ~たと思ったら instead of with ~や否や, saying that "the focus here is on what actually happened rather than on what the speaker perceived". Unfortunately, the book doesn't have anything on ~や否や. |
