  1. Why would you not have a dictionary entry for just 東久留米? (Higashi Kurume) if you're going to list neighborhood names at all?

    Why stick the common word 郵便局 (yuubin kyoku / post office) on it?

    Some of the entries in EDICT are pretty randomly weird like this.

  2. @Fizzfizzpopop

    I've spent years learning Japanese on and off.

    There's some good beginner ones on f-droid, jisho.org makes a good language learning resource because it has a sentence search feature: you can search for a word youre learning and then be presented with dozens of example sentences from an open dataset.

    I also highly recommend the youtube series Japanese From Zero for beginners to intermediate

    Tae Kim's grammar guide is also free and packed full of useful lessons for beginners but its very dry, it makes a good reference for beginners

    Also while I'm at it I might as well recommend japanesetest4you.com/jlpt-n5-g they have lots of simple lessons with example sentences, also better as a reference than as a course. They have lots of printable vocab and grammar infographics too

    Edit again sorry I just thought of another really good resource 青空文庫 (Aozora Bunko) a free online library of 15k+ public domain japanese books, the prose is obviously a bit archaic but its still a cool resource

  3. I always forget the share feature on does more than just share things with others through messaging apps. Want to translate Japanese text? Send it to your dictionary app. Want to open a URL? Send it to Firefox. Need to send files using ? Send the files to the LocalSend app and send to your other device from there. Need a barcode with some text? Send it to Binary Eye.

    It's so useful, but also so hidden I just forget it exists.

  4. CW: Funny but slightly weird Japanese

    I learned more than I signed up for...

    (Context: was looking for "seishun", which I thought was spelled "seishiun" in romaji. I don't have a kana keyboard installed, otherwise this wouldn't have happened.)

  5. 乱暴 (らんぼう / ranboo): violence, assault

    Couldn't have chosen a better word myself. I don't know how to feel about the other translations though, if I can believe Jisho...

    ( For those who don't know what I'm talking about: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambo_(f )

  22. Japanese will be like: "This kanji can mean pure, good woman, blessed, good. Oh and it can also mean sex worker, unholy woman."

    I love this. I guess context will matter a lot?
