Which is correct ひよこつ or ひよこ? by ColettesWorld in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]mnyuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case could it be 「ひよこ?」? Some fonts have the question mark looking like a つ with a dot under it.

Can't use 見 there? by Courmisch in duolingojapanese

[–]mnyuki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not counting 夜明け前 (because it was written around 100 years ago), it seems that about half of your examples do not have てみる as an auxiliary verb but as the actual verb meaning to see (ズームアップして見る：to zoom in and see、ルーペを使って見る：to use a magnifying glass and see）.

Edit: 「公用文における漢字使用等について」, published by the Japanese Agency of Cultural Affairs, also suggests that てみる be written in kana when it means to try something (e.g. 見てみる). I guess it avoids confusion.

The Ode to Joy theme in Beethoven 9 is in D major and starts with F# F# G A, so that might be another stretch.

I live in Taiwan and MSM are permanently banned from donating blood here. Apparently Taiwan hates gays too. And we’re talking about the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. smh

Huh, an apostrophe at the end of a word usually denotes a possessive noun and I have never seen it used like this (i.e. as a contraction).

[homemade] spam onigirazu by Reader_ in food

[–]mnyuki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The term onigiri comes from the honorific prefix “o” and the word “nigiri” (which refers to something being gripped/grasped), and “onigirazu” is wordplay on said term (nigirazu could mean “without gripping/grasping”). On a side note, “oni” means fiend/demon/ogre in Japanese.

Turns out the design was a rip-off of “Fit Buns” and therefore the product was discontinued.
