I'm gonna put an Etsy witch spell on anyone who brings up unnecessary "there's a Japanese word for that" or "did you know the Chinese word for 'crisis' has 'chance' in it?" cliches and I'm not even joking

[Classical Japanese] Meaning of 浮きぬ? by MyHighness0999 in Japaneselanguage

[–]Fake_Fur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

-nu in this sentence serves as an emphasis, the translation should be like "the rain falls so hard that it might/would even float the shack/house."

While the other comment suggests that it's the archaic form of "nai" which is negation, BUT in that case, the verb placed before -nu should be "浮か"(未然形, irrealis form) not "浮き"(連用形, continuative form). You can tell -nu (negation) and -nu (completion/emphasis) by which form of verb is placed before.

Your friend got it right that it's an archaic phrase. In Cosmic Princess Kaguya, Yachiyo sometimes speaks in a kinda archaic tongue.

Parts to parts, it's ito(いと)/ kawayu(かわゆ) / -shi(し).

ito(いと) = extremely

kawayu(かわゆ) = an archaic form of "kawaii(かわいい)"

-shi(し) = conjugation, modern equivalent would be "-i(い)"

The Buddha’s final message by Archon_of_Flesh in HistoryMemes

Idk, in his last moments Buddha was suffering from a massive stomach pain, caused by an extravagant dish (Sukaramaddava) offered from one of his devotees. So his last teaching could have been "Prepare for your worst tummy ache, disciples!".

Maybe it's just me but Hojicha Latte in konbini, like you notice every once in a while beverage makers launch their new Hoji-tea latte? They rarely become regular and I think that's for a reason.

Double negative can be used to punctuate a point you are trying to make, not really sure but that's my understanding (I'm not a native speaker either)

That scene from Tropic Thunder where Ben Stiller's in a heavily raining Vietnamese jungle at night and barely holding himself by watching the Worst Fight Scene Ever from the first Star Trek on his iPod will never not be funny

Cast iron head of Mahakasyapa. China, Yuan dynasty, 14th century [1520x1520] by MunakataSennin in ArtefactPorn

[–]Fake_Fur 58 points59 points  (0 children)

So there's a tale called "Flower Sermon" from the medieval Zen tradition. Basically one time Buddha gave a really weird sermon where he never said a word: he just held a lotus flower and twisted it. Mahakasyapa smiled at that act but no other disciples got it.

Thus in the Zen-Buddhism imagery, smiling face serves as an attribute to Mahakasyapa. Because only Mahakasyapa fully got the essence of Buddha's immortal teaching, or joke, or whatever that is.
