| Reading 1 | ことぶきたいしゃ |
| Part-of-speech | ? |
| English 1 | when a woman resigns from her job because she's getting married |
| English 2 | RH |
| Reference | I heard in on a TV show, but if you search it in Google, you'll find lots of
references --- many being blogs. |
| Comment | I added "when a woman resigns from her job because she's getting married"
Maybe not the best definition, but better than none at all. Perhaps it applies to men, too, but I doubt it. |

| Comment | a useful entry closely related to 分析 Problem: "parse" as an English query does not result in 解析. Most nouns in Japanese can be converted to verbs by adding "suru". Possibly a sorting of the English -ing entries to extrapolate the base verb in English and thereby make sure it finds itself in Edict -- as it is in ALC |

| Current Entry | アピール /(n,vs) appeal/(P)/ (1017870) |
| Headword 1 | アピール |
| Part-of-speech | n,vs |
| English 1 | (N) appeal |
| English 2 | (V) to attract, |
| Reference | # これはあなた自身をアピールする初の機会です。
This is your first chance to sell yourself. |
| Comment | This is confusing because the Japanese usage of this word is a little different than the English usage. The noun is defined well by this entry, but the verb "to appeal" is too vague to really convey the meaning. The Japanese meaning is more active than one sense of "to appeal" in English.
In other words, please include something like "to attract" or "to sell the concept of." |

| Comment | I was searching for confirmation that the suffix '内' had the reading of 'ない', as opposed to 'うち'.
As you will know, I found the above RH entry. Again, this is a case where it is helpful to have that confirmation of what one thinks may be correct, but cannot find. Nelson did not include it and my sound-based dictionary only gave the reading for the first two kanji. |
