| Sep 20, 2023 at 11:04 | comment | added | Kawase_K | Wait 力自慢 is being modified though? Like "The boasting of one strength from somewhere"? Is it the actor of the passive? And not adverbial? | |
| Sep 20, 2023 at 1:30 | comment | added | naruto | +1. Just to be clear, this type of どこぞの adds a nuance like a certain someone or you-know-who. | |
