| Nov 11, 2022 at 1:55 | comment | added | Starckman | It seems 行政 means "government"/"public administration" rather than "administrative" in the senses (1) and (2) eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E8%A1%8C%E6%94%BF. In Chinese it really can be used for meanings (1) and (2) so I was a bit confused | |

| Nov 9, 2022 at 12:02 | comment | added | Yusuke Matsubara | You can say 朝は手続きをしていました but that will invite the question "... of what?" You can get away with 色々な手続きをしていました to keep it vague, though. | |
