You tell that to her. :eyeroll

A is my wife, born and raised in Osaka; B is myself, born and raised in the US. I've tried to correct my wife before, but she plays the "native Osakan card".

The gengo-otaku part of me seized my hands and made me look up anime in the OED just for shits 'n giggles. Def as follows: Hmm, I suppose that's about right. Anyhow, for whatever reason the earliest citation they have is 1985 (surely there's citeable English usage before then?), but it was...

Re: Bleach 380 Spoiler Pics and Summaries Noticed a number of mistranslations, so... Status : Confirmed The cover is Kenpachi and Byakuya. Cutting to the chase, this chapter was... Yammy gets the shaft appearance-wise (He sends Kenpachi flying with a punch, but then Ken's like "Frickin'...

I just read that article in Japanese and was about to make a thread. Good thing I had the foresight to scan the thread titles before doing so. Anyhow, the actual Japanese article (from which I would assume the English one is translated just skimming the content) has a nifty little graphic to...

Re: Naruto 423 Spoiler Pics and Summaries Thread /exit hole IMO, this is likely Kakashi referring to his MS... probably... Probably... Pain: Looks like you really *can't* move (Being said in reference to Kakashi's current state...) I think this is supposed to be Pain and then Kakashi...

You seem to be mis-parsing things. It's 余計 as an adverb (aka 副詞, the last definition) + 始末 used in a semi-idiomatic expression (links to entries for those expressions at bottom).

Re: Translation Issue and Clarification/Translators Discussion: Tobi's Lines It's already been addressed in this thread (so please do read all the posts if you haven't), but this is not a possible translation. The "kono" in this case is not to be translated as "this", "this one right here" or...

Re: 368 Predictions [Naruto] Well, that's assuming we even get another databook. But, yes, at this point we can only technically guess. That said, I still would still insist that "Pain" is by far the most plausible choice. Most all names in Naruto have some form of meaning/story behind them, and...

Re: 368 Predictions [Naruto] The problem isn't so much what is or isn't possible in the English orthography, but instead what Kishimoto is intending. If he's intending ペイン to be a Japanese transliteration of the English word "Pain", then it's arguably most reasonable to respect such intentions...

Re: 368 Predictions [Naruto] If that was the motivation behind it, it would make their choice to put the Nine-tails inside Naruto quite ironic, to say the least... Although I wouldn't put it past Kishi to come up with such reasoning. Personally I'm going to be a proponent of a "Pain is...

Kita or Minami?

While I write this my kitten, that I just got yesterday is chasing and attacking the mouse cursor as it goes around the computer screen... wonder how long this'll last... A few more comments on some of the specific questions posed. (2) により and によって pretty much serve the same functions, with...

まず辞書を引くことを勧めます。yumaさんの載せた文で一番問題になっているのはおそらく「count」のやや慣用的な使い方なのではないでしょうか。構文の解析はどこまで出来るかはわかりませんからとりあえず言っておきますが、この場合の「count」は自動詞として使われています。＜ここ＞などで「count」の自動詞の項目をご覧になってください（「自」と書かれたところから続きます）。例文との照らし合わせは特に参考になるのではないかと思います。 さて、「You've shown me how to make each moment...
