| Apr 27, 2015 at 7:04 | comment | added | Louis Waweru | Great to have your answer and comments. I've been incorrect in approaching Japanese adjectives with English thinking. I'll just stop trying to group them into my language's terms. I think that's all I needed to consider to give the check mark. | |

| Apr 26, 2015 at 8:19 | comment | added | broccoli forest | Since I haven't learned Japanese as a foreign language, I'm not totally familiar with how learners approach it, but I wouldn't think that things in my answer above should be called "adjectival aspect of nouns". Dictionaries must treat them differently than true nouns, I suppose. | |
| Apr 12, 2015 at 5:56 | comment | added | Louis Waweru | Many thanks! Still reading this over as I slowly get closer to giving an honest check mark. Do you happen to know of a JLU post about this adjectival aspect of nouns? I see what you mean, and I see my confusion now, but I'm wondering if someone has elaborated on this already (since meaning and dictionary classification can be contradictory, I wonder if it's been brought up). | |
