Why is マシ written using katakana? @Sawa - i think your words are a little harsh. There is a alot of katakana words that are derived from english. That being said i think you could have made your comment a little softer and still have gotten your point across |

When women use わ at the end of a sentence, is it different from よ? I also here this わ alot in the Nagoya area from people who seemingly don't speak 関西弁, but then when you hear them speak to their family teh full 関西弁 comes out. I will have to agree with Matt in that i think that the わ from 関西弁 has bridged over |

言ったりしたら versus 言ったら that's my point though, that the difference is where him "saying it" is all inclusive or not, that is what i perceive the difference to be. Other than that nuance, to me, there are the same. |

言ったりしたら versus 言ったら ah, you split the sentence there. That makes sense. I would say that he is saying "if i talk about it or something they'll do something horrible to me" with the something being like giving away what he isn't suppose to talk about. |

言ったりしたら versus 言ったら Yeah soryr about that dave, I specifically avoided translating it cause I was unclear about 言えない言ったり, so i threw up what i think he's saying. |

ことができる versus V~える form you were right Lukman. It's not intransitive verbs (though some intransitive verbs fall into this group though) it's 無意識動詞 that can't be used with potential form web.ydu.edu.tw/~uchiyama/1h93fy/ishi.html ×無意志動詞は《可能》をあらわす形にできない ×台湾の原住民は、授業料が半額になれる。：「なる」＝無意志動詞 ⇒ ◎台湾の原住民は、授業料が半額になる。 ×このタンスは大きすぎて部屋に入れません。：「入る」＝無意志動詞 ⇒ ◎このタンスは大きすぎて部屋に入りません。 |

ことができる versus V~える form this makes sense to me cause i was under the impression that you couldn't use the potential form with intransitive verbs because they fall into this special group verbs (begins with 無 i think, sorry for being of little help here). So in that case i think you could get away with the ことができる |

Can I write Japanese name “Midori” this way - 緑? you could also use Rikai-chan. It can give you name translations for kanjis. |
