| Dec 7, 2021 at 3:20 | comment | added | Eddie Kal | @Leebo That's a very interesting example! Funny you should mention "interesting" because someone just asked me if there's any difference between "interest" and "interesting points/things/quality" as nouns (or rather NPs) in "a story full interest/interesting things" and "that adds interest/interesting things to the story" | |
| Dec 7, 2021 at 2:48 | comment | added | Leebo | Just because two words are nouns based on the same concept doesn't mean they share the same exact meaning. There's a difference between "Interestingness" as a concept related to the word interesting and "interestingness" indicating "the degree to which something is interesting." Maybe the disctinction is subtle in English (and ignore the fact that we don't say "interestingness" very much), but Japanese divides them more clearly. | |
