(comment)	Your Japanese dictionary is the best on the net. I don't know much Japanese however I do know there are some English errors in your dictionary, e.g. "Omoshiro" is stated as a noun, however adjectives are used to describe it; it says Amusing and Interesting. Check dictionary.com and you will find that these are both adjectives. This is confusing. Is "Omoshiro" a noun or an adjective? I have suggested some nouns derived from the same words in case Omoshiro is a noun. If it isn't I suggest Omoshiro is changed to an adjective.
I hope you will shed some light on the situation. Thanks!
