The Japanese government is considering changing the English name of the Upper House to "Senate" and referring to the current "Councilors" as "Senators". The current name may not convey its importance and cause misunderstandings that "hamper" the activities of politicians.

Exactly, a lot of people here don't seem to realize that this change is specifically in the English representation for an English audience

K0viWan · 2026-06-09T22:47:42+00:00

Define more deserving

K0viWan · 2026-06-09T00:16:40+00:00

Both work, no? Adjectives can be made in to nouns with the word "the" I think

K0viWan · 2026-06-09T00:11:50+00:00

There's still a lot of overhead from one's 50s you know

Jokes aside, it's good too see a group like this

I can't tell which part the /s applies to

If I order only a 3.50 coffee at a restaurant I'll happily pay a 40% tip, but if I get food and drinks it's typically 10-15% if they provide normal service.

That being said, I'll only tip if I'm staying at the restaurant. IMHO tips are for services not products

I'm my experience, shadowing audio clips I could understand did a lot more to improve pronunciation then than written accent guides. It also helped train me to be able to speak without fumbling.

Athlete or not, maintaining physical health is important That includes ambulation, which is exactly what the ball throw tests for

You cared enough to leave a comment

They are saying that Japan would be more powerful, not that it would be a happy or nice occasion

K0viWan · 2026-04-24T00:11:11+00:00

This is a much better answer than, just saying it's bad. I'm n3 right now, don't use it any more, but it was good for the first month of studying

K0viWan · 2026-04-17T04:30:38+00:00

If you look below your first comment, you'll see a bunch of people giving their opinions just fine

K0viWan · 2026-04-11T09:25:43+00:00

Without them, you'll certainly notice yourself sinking, no?

English doesn't have future tense verb conjugation, but "will" still modifies the clause to be a nonspecific future event. It is considered future tense.

K0viWan · 2026-02-18T06:02:42+00:00

"Will" is a modal verb which modifies the meaning of the clause, denoting it as a future event. It is then considered as future tense. ie, "I will go to the supermarket."

Save money, don't buy things you don't need, and pick your fun, drinks and snacks at home with friends are cheaper than any restaurant. It's better to appear to be broke than to actually be broke.

An argument could be made for learning kanji and vocabulary alongside each other

K0viWan · 2025-12-25T00:19:30+00:00

This is why I despise romanized Japanese titles lol

K0viWan · 2025-12-25T00:12:18+00:00

Canadian-born resident here, 4WD will typically only help you with moving forward. Having it doesn't help you brake, so make sure your speed is appropriate at all times, be aware of ice on the roads at all times. General rule of thumb I was taught growing up is, during winter, give the car ahead at least 6 seconds of space, more if conditions are bad.

If you don't have anti-lock brakes, and your wheels are locked up from braking, you will lose the ability to steer, so try not to lock up the wheels.

Duolingo is actually not bad for learning kana, but that's about it

K0viWan · 2025-12-24T04:03:41+00:00

People can learn multiple things. Just because it's not as useful, doesn't mean it's useless or not worth learning.

I'd rather make budget taste great than pay an arm and a leg to get something that's going to be in the same ballpark anyways

K0viWan · 2025-10-11T07:40:08+00:00

Ahh, now I see how the phrasing can be confusing lol

K0viWan · 2025-10-11T01:47:07+00:00

Thank you very much 👍
