In terms of the the resource, above, both Sharp Corp and Canon (wordtank) use the same source for their 英和/和英辞典. My assumption is that Genius is an independent company similar to Webster in the U.S. They publish print versions of their above dictionaries as well.

But, when writing about current events, movies, etc. in Japanese, it is always hard to find the "official" katakana for the names of movie stars and other famous non-Japanese people. I also see that you've got Frank Sinatra and Osama Bin Ladin entries already, so an entry for Lucy Liu doesn't seem too far out of place. Tell if these kinds of entries are acceptable.

By no definition can the middle class include the bourgeosie because what then would it be i the middle of? Juding from the japanese word i would say that the correct translation would be middle class and that the "bourgeoisie" part should be stricken from the dictionary. ======= Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 00:46:26 +1100 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) ポリッジ (pos) noun (english1) porridge ======= Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 15:25:06 +1100 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) しゃちほこ (pos) noun (english1) A mythical carp, auspicious protectors of well-being.

I was going to submit a new entry until I noticed that my IME didn't give me the same compound that I saw in the lyrics when entering 「ああ」! It took me a while to find that 「鳴呼」 was really only pronounced 「ああ」 and now I can't find where I saw it the first time. I was perplex when I couldn't find the compound in the edict file (of course I never thought of searching for 「ああ」, that would have been too simple). So in order to keep people from wasting 2 hours of their time, I suggest you add this compound to the entry. There are quite a lot of entry for 「鳴呼」 on google (notably a film 「鳴呼！おんなたち　猥歌」 and a jpop album) which is bizarre since it seems to me like a one stroke mistake on the part of whoever first wrote it like that (and wapuro-baka can't be mistaken since the IME (in windows at least) gives you only 「嗚呼」 and 「嗚」).

"Transmission" isn't actually wrong, but it seems to be no better than the least-misleading generic equivalent. Also, it doesn't appear in either of the "general" dictionaries I usually carry with me, although 透過率 turns up on the label on every pair of sunglasses. For that compound, I can't possibly take exception to either of the WWWJDIC translations: they're spot on. As for why 透過 doesn't appear in the general dictionaries, I suppose that's because it came into everyday use post-1890...

Heedful of potential consequences; "circumspect actions"; "physicians are now more circumspect about recommending its use"; "a discreet investor". >From my Casio Ex-Word XD-R970, which uses the ジーニアス English-Japanese dictionary, lists 細心 as careful, minute, prudent, meticulous, religious (as in doing something "religiously," with close attention). http://www.goo.ne.jp/ gives: prudent; careful. ・〜の注意を払って　most carefully; with meticulous [the greatest] care; scrupulously; prudently. Other dictionaries give the same definition. This matches "discreet," but not "discrete." (comment) Websters and Edict give 細心　(さいしん）as a Japanese translation of "discrete," but I think this is wrong, as all the other definitions of 細心 have meanings synonymous with "discreet." I couldn't find any definition of 細心　that has anything to do with separateness or discreteness (except in the many online resources based on Edict). It seems the "discrete/discreet" confusion got into some online database and has then spread as various databases built on each other. "Discrete" and "discreet" are far from synonymous in English; there's no way "discrete" can mean anything like "careful; scrupulous; prudent," the other words in the edict definition of 細心. However, "careful; scrupulous; prudent" would be perfect synonyms of "discreet." I'm surprised it made it into Webster's, but they aren't Japanese speakers and may have trusted whatever online dictionary they used; their English definition seems to contradict 細心. This is pointing out an error but I want to express my appreciation for your fantastic work and for making it available to everyone. Your project is the best Japanese language resource I've found, better than even the commercial products that are out there.

(comment) Your current definition is "wave number," which doesn't make a lot of sense in English. I think that "frequency," in the sense of electromagnetic waves, is a more appropriate definition. It is true that 周波数 also means "frequency" and is likely the more commonly-used word for this concept. Still, I think it's clear that frequency is a better translation than "wave number" in this case. By the way, thank you for this dictionary: I use it almost daily. Keep up the good work.

GPEA is the official name of the law, as can be seen here (http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/fedreg/gpea2.html) The early version of the Act was titled Reduction but when the House and Senate versions were reconciled it was retitled. The most likely place this word would come up in Japanese is a discussion of the American governments adoption of technology in government.

It sounds like it might work in the limited context of requesting public contributions for a charity, etc. However, in financial/legal circles this term is quite commonly used to refer to a "public offering" of securities by a company/entity in exchange for debt or equity. I think simply "public offering" captures what this term really means in its most common usage. Depending on context, a secondary meaning could be public solicitation (of contributions, etc.) (name) Jeff Schrepfer ======= Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2005 22:50:47 +1100 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 私募 (kana1) しぼ (pos) noun (english1) private offering (comment) In contrast to my previous submission regarding 公募, 私募 is used in financial/legal circles to refer to a private offering of securities by a company or other entity as debt or equity.

This sense doesn't appear to be in any dictionaries yet, but it's amply attested in print and on the web. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 02:23:55 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 諫める (headw2) 諌める (kana1) いさめる (pos) v1 (english1) to remonstrate (english2) to warn not to do something (comment) The only amendment suggested is the addition of the kanji 諌. This appears to be considerably commoner than the 諫 used in the existing entry (~5:1 on Google), and should probably be the main headword. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 02:30:23 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) おちょくる (pos) v5r (english1) to tease (reference) GG5 glosses "tease sb in jest; pull sb's leg; make fun of sb." ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 02:37:29 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 約束 (kana1) やくそく (pos) vs, n (english1) arrangement (english2) promise (english3) convention (reference) "Convention, rule" is sense 2 in GG5. (comment) The honorific お約束 also seems to have the additional nuance of "cliched convention" (see the last example in GG5 s.v. 約束 sense 2). The デイリー新語辞典 gives this a separate headword; I'm not sure how JMDict would normally handle this case. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 02:43:18 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) オルゴール (pos) noun (english1) music box (reference) See GG5, 大辞林, etc. (comment) The old gloss "organ" is correct for Dutch, but not apparently for Japanese. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 02:48:47 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) ギプス (pos) noun (english1) gypsum (english2) plaster-of-paris (english3) plaster cast (reference) See GG5 for the additional senses.

(comment) The second gloss may be redundant, but it seems helpful to explain common usages like 「くぐもったベルの音が寝ぼけた頭に響く」 (Kanon 90.15). ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 03:06:17 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) クロス (pos) noun (english1) cross (english2) gross (english3) cloth (reference) The example sentence linked from WWWJDIC uses the additional meaning "cloth". This meaning is also in GG5, 大辞林, etc. (comment) I can't find any references for or examples of クロス meaning "gross", and that _isn't_ in any of the aforementioned dictionaries; maybe that meaning needs double-checking? ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 03:09:50 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 瑣末 (headw2) 些末 (kana1) さまつ (pos) adj-na,n (english1) trivial (english2) trifling (comment) The alternative kanji 些末 are present in GG5 etc; Google shows them to be only slightly less common than 瑣末. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 03:13:23 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) しおらしい (pos) adj (english1) meek (english2) demure (english3) sweet (reference) In GG5 etc. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 03:18:04 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 柴漬け (kana1) しばづけ (pos) noun (english1) salted chopped pickled vegetables (reference) In GG5 ("assorted vegetables sliced up and pickled in salt with red shiso").

GG5 only has the derivative noun せせらぎ, which also appears in the riverwater glossary in WWWJDIC, but not in EDICT. (comment) Apparently archaic; the noun is much commoner. However, the verb does appear in modern texts, e.g. 麻枝准 et al., _AIR_ (VisualArts: 2000), s.232: 「川のせせらぐ音が聞こえる」 ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 04:09:14 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 先決 (kana1) せんけつ (pos) n, vs (english1) previous decision (english2) priority (reference) For usage with the sense "priority" see e.g. 「病気を治すことが先決だと思うけど」 (Kanon 160.750), 「今は、米屋に行くことが何よりも先決だった」 (AIR 250.60). ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 06:08:11 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) テンキー (pos) noun (english1) numeric keypad (reference) In GG5. (comment) EDICT currently has the gloss "ten key", which is not particularly helpful. The longer form テンキーパッド is glossed correctly in compdic, but with about 250,000 Google hits the word probably does belong in the main dictionary. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 06:16:08 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 独断 (kana1) どくだん (pos) n, adj-no, adv (english1) one's own judgement (english2) arbitrary (english3) dogmatic (reference) In GG5. (comment) The current gloss has "one's own judgment" twice for some reason. This version would replace one of those with the additional sense "dogmatism" (see GG5), and mark the adjectival use explicitly (the current gloss is already half adjectival). The separate EDICT entry for 独断に seems superfluous, as it is a perfectly regular formation. The same goes for 独断的に in compdic. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 06:30:56 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) とろん (pos) adverb? (english1) (of eyes, actions, etc.) appearing drowsy or intoxicated (reference) 「どこか間延びした女の子の口調と、とろんとした仕草。」 (Kanon 50.28) Present in GG5, 大辞林 etc. with slightly restrictive glosses. (comment) Usually (always?) used with と, and most commonly with とする. とろんとする would be much easier to gloss... ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 06:43:49 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 乗っける (headw2) 載っける (kana1) のっける (pos) v1 (english1) to place (something) on (something) (reference) In GG5, 大辞林, etc. 「最近は[カラス]を肩に乗っけるのが流行ってるのか」 (AIR 183.741) (comment) A colloquial equivalent of 乗せる, so maybe it should be added to that entry rather than given one of its own, if it's possible to do that. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 06:53:34 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 這い蹲る (headw2) 這い蹲う (kana1) はいつくばる (kana2) はいつくばう (pos) v5 (english1) to grovel (reference) In GG5, 大辞林, etc. 「椅子から尻をずらし、床に這いつくばる」 (Clannad 4422) (comment) The -る version seems to be more common, though the -う version is given priority in GG5. This form doesn't have a way to indicate relationships between readings and headwords, but it should be obvious how they match up here. ;) ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 07:06:55 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 庇 (kana1) ひさし (pos) noun (english1) eave (english2) visor (reference) In GG5 etc. 「昨日の場所は完全に雪に埋もれているので、ドアのひさしの下で食べる。」 (Kanon 130.613) (comment) Possibly more common as kana - but it's impractical to get meaningful statistics from any corpora because of the interference from 庇う and the likes of ひさしぶり. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 07:09:43 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 拉ぐ (kana1) ひしぐ (pos) v5g, vt (english1) to crush (reference) In GG5 etc. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 07:13:59 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 拉げる (kana1) ひしげる (pos) v1, vi (english1) to be crushed (english2) to be discouraged (reference) In GG5 etc. (comment) This and its transitive counterpart 拉ぐ also seem to be missing from the list of transitive/intransitive pairs (ti_list.html). ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 07:20:45 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 振り絞る (kana1) ふりしぼる (pos) v5r (english1) to muster (one's strength) (english2) to strain (one's voice) (reference) In GG5 etc. 「身を振り絞るような懇願。」 (AIR 703.165) (comment) The present gloss is misleading - it appears to be based on a misreading of GG's entry. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 07:31:38 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) マグカップ (pos) noun (english1) a mug (reference) In GG5 etc. (comment) WWWJDIC picks this up when "the_lot" is selected, but with nearly 700,000 hits on Google, it really belongs in the main dictionary. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 07:39:35 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 申し訳なさそう (kana1) もうしわけなさそう (pos) adj-na (english1) apologetic (reference) In GG5 s.v. 申し訳ない. 「申し訳なさそうに声を落とす」 (Kanon 180.606) (comment) The meaning cannot easily be derived from the definition of 申し訳ない, so a separate entry seems justifiable. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 07:46:21 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 薬品 (kana1) やくひん (pos) noun (english1) medicine (english2) chemicals (comment) The present gloss "medicine(s), chemical(s)" causes problems with tools like JWPce which mistake the (s) for a surname code. ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 07:58:36 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 異界 (kana1) いかい (pos) noun (english1) spirit world (english2) underworld (english3) the next world (reference) In GG5, 大辞林, etc. 「異界の神の力は死せる民を異形の怪物に変え[る]...ものであった」 ("Dark Law", prologue) ======= Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 23:54:55 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 東京海洋大学 (kana1) とうきょうかいようだいがく (pos) noun (english1) Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology (reference) http://www.kaiyodai.ac.jp/ (name) Frederic BEAL ======= Date: Sat, 21 May 2005 00:24:04 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) つまり (english1) In other words ======= Date: Sat, 21 May 2005 05:37:03 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 最低血圧 (kana1) さいていけつあつ (pos) noun (english1) minimal blood pressure (english2) diastolic blood pressure (reference) http://bme.ahs.kitasato-u.ac.jp:8080/docs/qrs/phy/phy00154.html (name) Graham Neubig ======= Date: Sat, 21 May 2005 05:38:37 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 最高血圧 (kana1) さいこうけつあつ (pos) noun (english1) systolic blood pressure (reference) http://bme.ahs.kitasato-u.ac.jp:8080/docs/qrs/phy/phy00154.html (name) Graham Neubig ======= Date: Mon, 23 May 2005 16:39:54 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 耐風 (kana1) たいふう (pos) noun (english1) wind resistance (reference) www.pwri.or.jp (name) Danny Wilde ======= Date: Mon, 23 May 2005 16:41:31 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 免震 (kana1) めんしん (pos) noun (english1) anti vibration vibration damping (reference) めんしん【免震】 めんしん【免震】 地震や風による建物などの振動を減らすようにすること。 用例・作例 ―構造・―ビル Shin Meikai Kokugo Dictionary, 5th edition (C) Sanseido Co., Ltd. 1972,1974,1981,1989,1997 (name) DW ======= Date: Wed, 25 May 2005 10:40:03 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) ヒヤリハット (pos) noun? (english1) near-miss (of an accident) (english2) caution (reference) http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~nishio/hiyari.html "Daily Yomiuri" 24-4-05, p1, transliterated as "hiyarihatto" but not translated (comment) "ヒヤリハット" appears above the tap in our services room at work, connected to a warning that the water can be scalding hot (Japan doesn't seem to have heard of the 65 deg C hot-water system rule: it's all 85 degrees here: "by law", so I'm told). The first use of "ヒヤリハット" other than that that I've seen was in the "Daily Yomiuri" article, as the classification of incidents where train drivers have scared the pants off themselves but didn't actually prang like the guy did on our local line on 25th April (I know someone who reckons he has gone round that curve with 122 kph on the clock, but luckily in that case the driver didn't panic and hit the emergency brake, which I guess is what threw the crashed train off the track). The description in the biglobe article fits with this meaning of a near-miss, so I take its use on our tap to mean "caution" as an extension. However, "near-miss" doesn't quite seem to have the brown-pants connotations of "ヒヤリハット", so I'm open to suggestions. (As for its derivation, I'm completely at a loss.)

(comment) The problem is that you put ガルソンヌ meaning "boy", from the french Garçonne. This is incorrect, as the french word for boy is Garçon (ガルソン). "Garçonne" is a feminine form of "Garçon", and so means "boyish kind of girl". Being french myself, this is clear for me, but I understand this could be confusing to a non-franch native.

I'm not sure if this is done for a reason, but it demonstrates why the 部首 is what is. I happen to see this by accident and thought I would pass it along. I love 漢字, and I love this dictionary.

In my experience this phrase is used to mean what we mean when we say "epidural" in English. Maybe changing the definition to "Epidural. A painless childbirth." would be better?

In the quotation above, 高速 is referring to 東名高速道路, and the 下道 in question is 国道一号 (though judging from Google Images it's normally used of very minor roads). NB. This use of 高速 as an abbreviation for 高速道路 might also be a useful addition. ======= Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 22:43:02 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 整備 (kana1) せいび (pos) n,vs (english1) maintenance (english2) servicing (english3) outfitting (reference) See entry in GG5. (comment) None of the existing glosses in EDICT ("adjustment; completion; consolidation") are worth keeping IMO, as I can't actually find any references that support them at all; the proposed meanings above are similar to the entry in the RW dictionary on WWWJDIC, but probably need to be in EDICT itself. ======= Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 23:21:22 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) ミッション (pos) n (english1) mission (english2) transmission (abbr) (comment) The current entry has "often automatic" tacked onto the "transmission" sense. I'm not sure this is justified. For example, in the sentence ｢それにこの車はミッションだから、慣れると面白い筈だと思えた｣ (片岡とも ｢ナルキッソス｣), the word ミッション is used by itself to indicate a distinguishing feature of a car, but the feature referred to is that it has _manual_ transmission. ======= Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2005 02:05:05 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 路駐 (kana1) ろちゅう (pos) n (english1) on-street parking (reference) See デイリー新語 (http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/search.php?MT=%CF%A9%C3%F3&kind=jn).

(name) Mitchell Voelz ======= Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2005 08:57:51 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 収める (headw2) 納める (kana1) おさめる (pos) v1 (english1) to obtain (english2) to reap (english3) to pay (english4) to supply (english5) to accept (english6) to restore (sth to its place) (reference) ［免許証を］ポケットに収める彼女。（片岡とも ｢ナルキッソス｣ See also GG5, おさめる 4 sense 6 (comment) The amendment is the addition of the sense "to restore (sth to its place)". EDICT already has this sense of the word in the expressions 戈を収める and 元の所へ収める, but in the light of GG5 and the quoted example, these appear to be transparent uses of the word in this sense, not special idioms worthy of separate entries. ======= Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 10:26:08 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) スタッドレスタイヤ (pos) n (english1) studless winter tire (reference) See http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/スタッドレスタイヤ (comment) The existing entry (simply translating it as "studless tire") does not make it clear that the word refers only to winter tyres; the term "studless t[iy]re" as such is not widespread in English, I count only about 400 hits on Google, and all but a couple of those are on sites related to Japanese motoring. ======= Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 17:01:27 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 後れを取る (kana1) おくれをとる (pos) verb (english1) to fall behind (comment) The current entry states "to be beaten", "be defeated" but it can also mean to "fall behind." for example: "もう有名私立小学校に通う児童からずっと後れをとっているんです" (name) Vadim Berezniker ======= Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2005 16:04:54 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 鳥海浩輔 (kana1) とりうみこうすけ (pos) NA (english1) Toriumi Kousuke (h) 1973.05.16- (reference) http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=3445 Family name (in kanji): 鳥海 Given name (in kanji): 浩輔 ======= Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2005 21:11:49 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 四則演算 (kana1) しそくえんざん (pos) noun (english1) Basic arithmetic operations.

There's a slight difference brought about by the て, which adds the sense of "with." (Another way to say this, which I couldn't find in EDICT, is 連れ戻す　（つれもどす）, but I haven't looked into the meaning of this version. Perhaps for a future addition.)

There doesn't seem to be a "usually katakana" code, though, so I've left the kanji out and put the headword as katakana instead. ======= Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2005 11:42:12 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 重要度 (kana1) じゅうようど (comment) instead of じょうようど (jouyoudo), reading should be じゅうようど (jyuuyoudo) (name) Denis MARTIN ======= Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 00:59:25 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 逓倍 (kana1) ていばい (pos) noun (vs) (english1) multiply (a frequency) (reference) http://www.cqpub.co.jp/term/multiply.htm ======= Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 04:41:09 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 浅草寺 (kana1) せんそうじ (english1) Sensouji temple in Asakusa (comment) it's near kaminarimon. i was surprised it wasn't included already actually. also good for highlighting the difference between the on and kun readings of the constituent kanji for anyone looking up asakusa (name) aidan ======= Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 06:17:03 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 幹 (kana1) みき (kana2) かん (pos) noun (english1) (tree) trunk (english2) (arrow) shaft (english3) (tool) handle (english4) backbone; base (reference) http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/search.php?MT=%B4%B4&kind=je&kwassist=0&mode=0&jn.x=37&jn.y=12 http://www2.alc.co.jp/ejr/index.php?word_in=%8A%B2&word_in2=%82%A0%82%A2%82%A4%82%A6%82%A8&word_in3=PVawEWi72JXCKoa0Je ======= Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 06:17:18 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 幹 (kana1) みき (kana2) かん (pos) noun (english1) (tree) trunk (english2) (arrow) shaft (english3) (tool) handle (english4) backbone; base (reference) http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/search.php?MT=%B4%B4&kind=je&kwassist=0&mode=0&jn.x=37&jn.y=12 http://www2.alc.co.jp/ejr/index.php?word_in=%8A%B2&word_in2=%82%A0%82%A2%82%A4%82%A6%82%A8&word_in3=PVawEWi72JXCKoa0Je (name) Mike Chachich ======= Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 07:17:36 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 自己矛盾 (kana1) じこむじゅん (comment) 自己矛盾 【じこむじゅん】 (n) self-contradiction [G][GI][S] 自己矛盾 【じごむじゅん】 (n,vs) self-contradiction; paradox; antinomy [V][G][GI][S] These should probably be combined. I think jigomujun is just flat out wrong, I get no Google hits with "自己矛盾 じごむじゅん" or "じごむじゅん" searches. So I propose combining them into: 自己矛盾 【じこむじゅん】 (n,vs) self-contradiction; paradox; antinomy removing the jigomujun reading altogether. ======= Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 07:33:36 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw2) 濡れ性 (kana1) ぬれせい (pos) noun (english1) wettability (reference) 金属−セラミックの濡れ性: Wettability of Metal-Ceramic system (name) toffee ======= Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 07:40:42 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 脈理 (kana1) みゃくり (pos) noun (english1) cord (english2) cording (reference) ガラスの脈理：cording in the glass (name) toffee ======= Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 18:46:11 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) ニュープリント (pos) noun (english1) new print (comment) The dictionnary gave me these: # ニュープリマス (p) New Plymouth (New Zealand); NA [Partial Match!] # ト (n) 7th in a sequence denoted by the iroha system; 7th note in the diatonic scale (used in key names, etc.); ED (name) Bruno CHRISTMANN ======= Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 23:46:50 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 長ったらしい (english1) lengthy (reference) Your own example sentences:- 私を死ぬほど退屈させたのは、彼の長ったらしい話だった。 It was his lengthy narrative that bored me to death.

However, a quick Google search will note that you're much less likely to find 計量言語学 in use and much more likely to see 計算言語学. Wikipedia also has a webpage for 計算言語学, but not 計量言語学. While 計量言語学 is used, I hope 計算言語学 can be added considering its far greater popularity. Is it possible to add and possibly then mark 計算言語学 as popular?

According to 大辞林, the two words mean the same thing, but 雪花菜 is read きらず, and the kanji used for おから are 御殻. I'm not sure whether the readings can actually be mixed or not, so it's possible that this should be two separate entries. ======= Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 08:50:54 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 雪花 (kana1) ゆきばな (kana2) せっか (pos) n (english1) snowflakes (reference) See 大辞林, GG5 (comment) The current entry gives only せっか as a reading. 大辞林 gives both せっか and ゆきばな, and GG5 gives only ゆきばな (which implies that that is the primary reading). ======= Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2005 02:34:17 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 古めかしい (kana1) ふるめかしい (pos) adj (english1) old-fashioned (reference) See GG5, etc. (comment) The current misleading gloss is "old and familiar".

I did not think of searching for "hunt". I searched for "job search" and some similar terms. I suggest adding "job search" or "searching for a job" as an alternative definition for words returned by the search "job hunt". These words appear on the second page of the search "job", so maybe this is not necessary. Thanks!

(comment) The amendment is the addition of the sense "to fade, come out", which was not obvious to me from the EDICT glosses when I encountered it in the above passage. Glancing through GG5's entry, it might also be worth adding a gloss for the counterintuitive usage of おちる for "succeed" in examples like わが社の札が落ちた - it's not clear to me how this should fit in, though. ======= Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2005 01:09:25 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) けったい (pos) adj-na (english1) weird (english2) bizarre (reference) See 語源由来辞典 at ; cf also GG5, 大辞林, and the Hatena page . (comment) EDICT currently has けったい as an alternative reading for 希代. This seems to be incorrect; it does not mean the same as 希代, and while an etymological link is theorised, the more popular theory appears to derive it from 卦体 (e.g. 語源由来辞典 mentions both but prefers 卦体, while 大辞林 does not mention the 希代 theory at all.) ISTM that けったい should therefore be removed from the 希代 entry and given its own along the lines of the above. (A 関西弁 tag might also be in order - I'm not sure where to put that in the form above, though.)

I also suggest adding the headword 季節はずれ; this gets over 310,000 hits on Google, which is in the same ballpark as 360,000 for 季節外れ.

So far as I know, the readings are restricted to the respective headwords (i.e. 荒 is always あら, never あ or あらら). The dictionaries cited list the two forms separately, with a cross-reference from あらげる to あららげる. I don't know whether you'd consider that a more appropriate approach here or not. In current informal usage the new form あらげる appears to be considerably more common: Google has indexed some 47,000 instances of 荒げる, compared to just 753 of the "standard" form 荒らげる.

On the title page of Tagame's work, the kanji is accompanied by the furigana "kodama," and although he translates the work as "Echo" in his own translated list of titles, the main character is a hermit who lives deep in the mountain forests.

It seems that the colloquial, or most common usage of the term has a more negative connotation, as in "sarcastic laughter" or "laughter at an inappropriate time". Indeed, these were the meanings I found listed in most 電子辞書s. Since the "sudden" or "spontaneous" meanings of the word do not seem to be widely regonized among native japanese speakers, I feel it appropriate to amend this entry.

The dictionary does not recognize this as a compound, even though it is listed prominently in the Koujien, for example. I find your dictionary quite remarkable and a great boon to me, professionally and personally! Keep up the good work!

Add the headword 和気あいあい, which is arguably the most common way of writing the word. This isn't present in the fields above, because they only allow for up to 4 headwords. 3. Replace the needlessly verbose gloss "being full of harmony" with the simpler "harmonious". The primary classification of the word is as an adjective, so there's no reason to avoid adjectival glosses. ======= Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 08:34:27 +1100 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) マジレス (pos1) n (pos2) vs (misc1) abbr (english1) serious reply (response) (e.g. in 2ch threads) (crossref) マジ, レス (name) Paul Blay ======= Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 23:57:25 +1100 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 数物科学 (kana1) すうぶつかがく (pos1) n (english1) mathematical and physical sciences (reference) Found on pages of http://www.nst.kanazawa-u.ac.jp/index.html (name) B.

In English, a three-legged race implies an awkward or inefficient arrangement, while in Japanese it has lost this connotation and simply come to mean "in cooperation with", leading to the somewhat counter-intuitive example I found above, in which the company is aiming for "speedy management in a three-legged race with an [investment] fund."

Japan has a culture of shame, so negative conduct by a Japanese geinojin will not be tolerated. Steps of jishuku include 1) make a public apology, and 2) disappear from the geinokai for a period of time. If the geinojin is an employee of a jimusho (agency), the jimusho will suspend the geinojin from participating in any activities. that appears to fit well with the example.

Anyway this appears to be one of those expressions that is more commonly (x2+) used in an "incorrect" form, 濡れ手に粟. I don't know if you want to formalise the 'alternative' in some way but there is at least one example that uses it, and given that the 'wrong' version is more common than the 'right' one I'm reluctant to just change it.

Up till now I've been viewing the auxillary ~いる as part of the inflection of the verb it is with. e.g. 来る(くる){来ている} and certainly not 来る(くる){きて} 居る(いる){いる] However this is tricker with some entries where there are other particles stuffed in the middle. The occasional は and も are one thing, I finally threw in the towel over sentences like うちの息子は遊んでばかりいる。 My son is just idling. >_< Anyway for now I shall index records like that to this kana only 'いる' entry and leave it to you to contemplate.

This example comes from the examples list, but current definition of 「よぶ」 doesn't have such a meaning listed: "呼ぶ 【よぶ】 (v5b,vt) to call out; to invite; (P); EP" So then do you believe that it would be appropriate to add an additional definition for this word--perhaps "to be called" or "to be called by a certain name" or something like that? Many thanks.

Use of it as an anatomical term would only evoke confusion and perhaps laughter. BTW, (肝)きも is never used to mean "guts". I don't care what some dictionary might say. The word "guts", if substituted for courage (yuuki) is usually as is "gairai-go".

(name) Dennis ======= Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 05:50:07 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 老衰 (kana1) ろうすい (pos1) n (comment) "Example" sentences for: 老衰 【ろうすい】 (n,vs) senility; senile decay 彼は老衰で２年前に死んだ。 [T] He died of old age two years ago. 彼は老衰で二年前に亡くなった。 [T] He died of old age two years ago. 老衰するな。 [T] Keep your bones green. Comment: #1 and #2 are restates - just two ways of saying "died". 死んだ = 亡くなった. #3 is worth of a laugh or two. Somehow I pictured "green bones" being something one would see after exhumation. Gotta love the Japanese scholars as "experts" of the English language. Fortunately, they are able to laugh at this silliness themselves. (name) Dennis ======= Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 06:18:19 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 強壮 (kana1) きょうそう (pos1) n (comment) Not an amendment, just an observation: The following can be understood via the very easy Kanji if you are a reader; I, however, am a talker and communicator. To that end, in conversation the second would pre-empt the first and hence lead to confusion and a necessary explanation. Conclusion: I do not incorporate the second in my "usable" vocabulary, as I do not glitches. Suggestion: Some demarcation about confusing homophones and which reign superior. 強壮 【きょうそう】 (adj-na,n) able-bodied; robust; sturdy; strong 競争 【きょうそう】 (n,vs) competition; contest (name) Dennis ======= Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 11:53:55 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 保守 (kana1) ほしゅ (pos1) n (pos2) vs (english2) maintenance (reference) ALC (numerous examples with translation "maintenance") (comment) You identify the word as a noun, but the first definition is "conservative."

Rather 落書き(P); 楽書き 【らくがき】 (n,vs) scrawl; scribble; graffiti is more commonly used and hence understood. Hey, what can I say. That is why the Japanese paid me so well.

There are a huge number of examples just in the example sentence database. And I got bopped in the head with this today at work. I also use the word (and mentally interpret) the word generally using the previously listed English meanings, so it was interesting to ask my co-worker if he "needed" some data we generated yesterday; he and another person agreed that "必要" was the best word to use in this scenario. Not sure how to link the misc. codes to individual headwords.

Oh yes, of course. I should be aware that my lack of glitchful relationship with the Japanese and their praise according must necessary be put in the perspective "but, the dictionary says ...". Many a scholar I told to nicely deposit the dictionary where it rightfully belongs - and that would be in the "dust bin".

(I also asked someone.) Sorry, nothing verifiable. (comment) Defined as "upward compatibility," which is a literal translation of the Japanese, but I think the correct English is "backward compatibility" (with older models). What's worse, "upward compatible" is used to mean "forward compatible" (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/U/upward_compatible.html), which has the opposite meaning. ALC also translates as upwardly, forward compatible, incorrectly I think.

Also, the marker of P many times is embedded within a Kanji reading and in no way indicates the importance of the word/expression lest one look hard.

Problems: 1) This translation is completely wrong! And I'm sorry to seem disrespectful but I don't give a hoot what dictionaries say. I rely on my ear and living context. 2) This is currently the most talked about item among university students in Japan. BTW, I lived at Kyoto University for about two months quite recently and we had many long discussions (only in Japanese, thank you) late into the evening about how Japan is changing with regard to 上下関係. The changes in Japanese society (treatise also available if so desired) I experienced are indeed pleasantly shocking, my only caveat being "if they are not carried to an extreme". What this now strongly debate concept incorporates is the hierarchy in Japanese society, specifically: 先輩 and 後輩. I can give you an entire treatise on this, if you wish, as I spent more than ten years in it.

This information does not take into account the many non-Japanese people who have settled in Japan and are married to Japanese people. This entry is wrong because we non-Japanese are not officially allowed to take on our partner's name according to the family register laws. We are always an appendix of the family register in katakana unlike Japanese people who marry each other. So having separate names is permitted in Japan. My suggestion for this entry is to take out the part that says 'not permitted in Japan'. In certain cases it is forced.

The 大辞林 entry only has 就 in the main heading but it includes 付く when discussing possible derivations of the expression. に付いて is about three times more common than に就いて and does seem to be often used in the same way. Even though 就 is a 常用漢字 it seems possible that 付 is being used in preference because it is more familiar and easier to read/write.

I therefore propose that the meaning "eyeball catcher" or "eye catcher" is added.

This is considered incorrect (e.g. people do not write うらない but えない for the negative form of うる). Since you do have a "v5uru" category, it should belong there ("modern" "shimo-nidan": え・え・うる・うる・うれ・えろ／えよ). える reading is accepted for 終止形 when used alone, but not when attached to 連用形 of another verb; 連体形 is うる. See える entry in the references. Also it is worth mentioning that it also indicates possibility. I see a few separate entries of this type, but it's a general construction possible with many verbs.

This is very wrong; in fact 未然形 ("has not happened" / "realised" form; "irrealis") has never been the same form as 已然形 ("has happened" form), and almost serve opposite functions, but 已然形 is a form that is used in classical Japanese. 未然形 gives rise to hypothetical, future forms etc.; 已然形 gives rise to past tenses, as well as "係り結び" uses - very different things. However, the hypothetical form 仮定形 has inherited the forms of 已然形, but now serves a completely different function ("stealing" a function off the 未然形, so to speak).

Being rather fond of Kit Kat bars, my attention was drawn to this dictionary entry through the recent release of the 杏仁デザート variety of the popular candy bar here in Japan. All of my Japanese associates read the word as あんにん and had never heard of the reading displayed on the site, きょうにん. The latter reading was also quite cumbersome to produce through the automatic hiragana to kanji rendering when typing on Windows computers with Japanese input. However, あんにん converted to 杏仁 instantly. While I personally do not have the breadth of knowledge to suggest that the きょうにん reading is a mistake or is never used, I would like to at least submit for your consideration the inclusion of the seemingly more common あんにん reading in your online dictionary. I am a big fan of your site and use it almost every day, and I really believe it to be one of the things that makes the internet worthwhile. Thanks for maintaining a great site!

I learn from many people, this time a 12 year old Japanese kid in Thailand whom I prepared for international school. To say that he was a genius (and I hate that oft-given label as much as "hero") would be a dramatic understatement. Presbyopia is a unique phenomenon best described as "false farsightedness", in my case the result of wearing contact lenses to correct myopia. Only then do I need to wear reading glasses to correct the presbyopia resulting from the wearing of corrective lenses. The correct expression for "long-sightedness" as the Brits call it would be instead: 遠視眼 【えんしがん】 (n) farsightedness Some day, if you request, I will tell you how 12-year old Ryo-kun became fluent in only three days and mastered my 2,500 word Advanced ESL list in as many days.

But not listed in compdic as such, and the kanji suggest that isn't right. ======= Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2006 23:20:56 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 仮定条件 (kana1) かていじょうけん (pos1) n (english1) hypothetical situation (reference) http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/search.php?MT=%B2%BE%C4%EA%BE%F2%B7%EF&kind=jn&mode=0&base=1&row=0 ======= Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2006 23:29:16 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 基づく (headw2) 基付く (headw3) 基く (kana1) もとづく (pos1) n (comment) Addition of alternative okurigana version. 基く probably should have a (io) tag but it's given in the IME henkan dictionary and has lots of hits. (name) Paul Blay ======= Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 02:17:20 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 行き (kana1) いき (kana2) ゆき (pos1) n (pos2) suf (english1) going (comment) I think this is usually a suffix. e.g. 東京行きの電車 (name) Paul Blay ======= Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 02:24:25 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 盥 (kana1) たらい (pos1) n (misc1) uk (english1) tub (reference) http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/search.php?MT=%E2%B9&kind=jn&mode=0&base=1&row=1 (comment) Smaller than a bath, larger than a wash basin.

Both should be. (name) Dennis ======= Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 08:46:54 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 差し込み (kana1) さしこみ (pos1) n (comment) 差し込み 【さしこみ】 (n) (1) insertion; (2) plug; (electrical) outlet I see 差し込み, which means "plug" and definitely not "outlet", a wall outlet being こんせん and which I do not see on the list. Hey, come on, this is daily life and I think I know it. (name) Dennis ======= Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 16:24:50 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 栴檀 (headw2) 楝 (kana1) せんだん (pos1) n (misc1) uk (english1) Japanese bead tree (english2) melia azedarach l.

(新和英中辞典） インターネットの接続が遮断された。 The Internet connection was interrupted (comment) The meaning "intercept" is not a very common usage: i.e. 退路を遮断する cut off [intercept] <> retreat (新和英中辞典) and could easily be replaced with "cut off" and preserve the meaning. The meaning of "quarantine" seems off the mark to me and is not hinted at in the definition or compound words found in my Daijirin so I'd venture a guess that if it is another possible meaning, even most Japanese are unaware of it. (name) Kale Stuzman ======= Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 21:45:28 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 重視型 (kana1) じゅうしがた (pos1) adj (english1) oriented (reference) www.cshe.nagoya-u.ac.jp/activity/ucla/index.html ======= Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 06:46:34 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 婉曲 (kana1) えんきょく (pos1) n (comment) Here is what is normally said: 婉曲方 Guessing 方法, 方 in lieu of 法 - as I read pretty OK but write badly. Very common among the educated: 婉曲的に言う Very common among the "masses": 間接的 and 間接的に言う 間接的に言う is very common but 婉曲的に言う commands more respect as evidencing mastery of the language. I have added all of the above to the list I am working on. Hope this helps. (name) Dennis ======= Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 11:16:00 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 支配権 (kana1) しはいけん (pos1) n (comment) 支配権 【しはいけん】 (n) control; supremacy Much apologies for being so acerbic but I see this "mistake" common throughout Edict and other well-intended dictionaries. The affix 権 indicates a "right" or "authority"as in 権利. It is not therefore simply another noun form. In the same way, 出版権 does not mean "publication", though it is properly defined in Edict as "publishing rights". (name) Dennis ======= Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 12:56:55 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 監督 (kana1) かんとく (pos1) n (reference) 監督 【かんとく】 (n,vs) (1) supervision; control; superintendence; (2) director; superintendent; supervisor; coach; foreman; manager; overseer; controller; boss By my humble understanding, 監督 only refers to the action and not, lest it be a mutually understood abbreviation, to a person. Instead, 監督人 is usually employed and not 監督者 【かんとくしゃ】 (n) superintendent; supervisor. (name) Dennis ======= Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 14:13:38 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 型締 (kana1) かたしめ (kana2) かたじめ (pos1) n (english1) mold clamping (reference) ビジネス技術実用英語大辞典第４版 (comment) I think "katashime" is the wrong reading. I couldn't find 型締め in any dictionary until I looked up "katajime" as opposed to "katashime" ======= Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 16:41:18 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 敗退 (kana1) はいたい (pos1) n (comment) 敗退 (はいたい) Oh, my goodness, this kind of nonsense, like so much other, deserves a P marker. Yeh, I know the dictionaries say so. Gotta love those dictionaries; I just do not. (name) Dennis ======= Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2006 03:47:49 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 蠏股 (kana1) がにまた (pos1) n (comment) 蠏股 【がにまた】 (n) bandy-legged [G][GI][S] 蟹股 【がにまた】 (n,adj-no) bowlegged; bandy-legged [G][GI][S] These should be combined and がに股 added as an alternative (both of the possible first kanjis are beyond jouyou, so it's often written with hiragana). ======= Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2006 11:25:34 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 付属の (kana1) ふぞくの (pos1) n (reference) ALC: 付属のフォームに印刷されたハードコピー hard copy printed on the accompanying form 部品を付属のプラスチックボックスに入れる place the parts in the provided plastic box ウィンドウズ・パッケージ付属のプログラム programs that come with the Windows package (comment) In text translation function, but not word search, definition is given as "auxiliary; optional" (RW). In a quick search I have not been able to confirm that meaning. In any case, an additional verified meaning is "included, enclosed" (as parts with a product). (name) Fritz ======= Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2006 12:28:02 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 紀律 (kana1) きりつ (pos1) n (comment) 紀律 【きりつ】 (n) rules; regulations; discipline A definite P Marker!!

(name) Dennis ======= Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2006 15:55:23 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 虫の音 (kana1) むしのね (pos1) exp (english1) the calls and sounds made by insects (reference) http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?enc=UTF-8&p=%E8%99%AB%E3%81%AE%E9%9F%B3&dtype=0&dname=0na&stype=0&pagenum=1&index=17905900 (name) Paul Blay ======= Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2006 18:51:46 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) そぼろ (pos1) n (english1) minced meat (served on rice) (reference) http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/search.php?MT=%A4%BD%A4%DC%A4%ED&kind=jn (comment) Not a very good description - I've never seen the stuff. :-P (name) Paul Blay ======= Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2006 20:58:50 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 辛い (kana1) づらい (pos1) adj (pos2) suf (english1) difficult to (verb) (reference) http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/search.php?MT=%BF%C9%A4%A4&kind=jn&mode=0&base=1&row=2 (comment) This is another 'aux-a' candidate. (name) Paul Blay ======= Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2006 02:30:52 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 選択科目 (kana1) せんたくかもく (pos1) n (comment) 選択科目 【せんたくかもく】 (n) subject of selection "Subject of selection" is good ole Japanese-English; should be "elective (subject/course)" as an antonym of 必修科目, which is properly defined in Edict as "compulsory subject". Thus endeth the Epistle according to LowBrow. (name) Dennis ======= Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2006 06:58:57 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 週末 (kana1) しゅうまつ (pos1) n (comment) 週末 【しゅうまつ】 (n-adv,n) weekend --- Correct, but I added to my list: 週の終わり, as in 今週の終わり since it is more commonly said.

Excuse me, LOL. And 共通語 has taken its place. Excuse me but gotta go. Late for my frontal lobotomy. I would love to meet the authors of this nonsense at their location of choice in Japan, one caveat being I want 15 minutes to draw a crowd to watch me dismember them - their own language, of course. (name) Dennis ======= Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2006 22:42:58 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) どうしたもの (headw2) どうしたもん (pos1) exp (misc1) col (english1) what's up with (english2) what's the deal with (english3) what's to be done with (name) Paul Blay ======= Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2006 23:58:04 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) なんて (pos1) exp (english1) things like ======= Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2006 01:27:51 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 説明責任 (kana1) せつめいせきにん (pos1) n (comment) 説明責任 【せつめいせきにん】 (n) accountability Without context, I cannot offer a better translation than "accountability", lest it be a lame one like "explanation responsibilty". Guessing, and really guessing here, this position might be in the PR area. (name) Dennis ======= Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2006 05:58:46 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 合いの手を入れる (kana1) あいのてをいれる (pos1) exp (english1) to make a gesture or say something during a break in conversation, playing of songs, etc. (english2) to interrupt (name) Paul Blay ======= Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2006 08:07:56 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 生徒を帰す (kana1) せいとをかえす (pos1) n (comment) 生徒を帰す 【せいとをかえす】 (exp) to dismiss the pupils While we are being pedantic, the above does not mean to "dismiss the pupils"; instead it means to "dismiss a pupil", "pupils" being 生徒たち. (name) Dennis ======= Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2006 09:59:32 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 抜き差し (kana1) ぬきさし (pos1) n (reference) In company document and also ALC example, unplugging or plugging in an electrical connector. ALC "taking out and putting in." (comment) Present Edict definition "inserting and deleting" seems likely to be a secondary application to texts, with primary meaning of physically "taking out and putting in," "removing and inserting " or the like. I wonder if the funny order of Japanese expression is connected to semantics or something else. (name) Fritz ======= Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2006 13:51:46 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 規則を敗る (kana1) きそくをやぶる (pos1) n (comment) 規則を敗る 【きそくをやぶる】 (exp) to break the rule 規則を破る 【きそくをやぶる】 (exp) to violate the rules 敗る or 破る?

(name) Todd Faulkner ======= Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2006 16:15:47 +1000 (EST) (subtype) amend (headw1) 大学浪人 (kana1) だいがくろうにん (pos1) n (comment) 大学浪人 【だいがくろうにん】 (n) student (person) who has failed to enter university This is a poor and depreciating rendition. It requires some explanation accordingly. First of all, a 浪人 is, literally speaking, a wandering samurai without a master. Many, many fine students spend a few years preparing for the university entrance exam as 浪人, enter their university of choice and graduate later with honors. I know too many to depreciate them. (name) Dennis ======= Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2006 17:46:49 +1000 (EST) (subtype) new (headw1) 脱着 (kana1) だっちゃく (pos1) n (english2) removing and installing (reference) Kojien: とりつけたり、はずしたりすること。 　 Company document: けーブル脱着時は、電源をOFFにしてください。 Lots of Google hits.

BTW, I only know 普段の場合 as well as other uses of 普段 within phrases. FWI, upon returning to Japan after a 25-year hiatus, I noticed that the young Japanese are borderline illiterate with regard to their knowledge of Kanji, all that shockingly noticed at Kyoto University where my Chinese graduate school friends where as aghast as I at the ignorance of the young people in Japan. Many times I would ask the Kyo-Dai students if the Kanji in one word was the same as in this word -- and they did not know!

However, this seems to also be a polite way to say "ass" particuarly of a girl.

Also, in the article I mention above, the cop got arrested for feeling up a chick on the train.

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.

There are currently three entries for 遵守 as じゅんしゅ. There is also a そんしゅ which does not seem to exist, according to all the dictionaries I have looked it up in, so I think somebody has guessed the reading, as that kanji only has the reading じゅん.

The latter is presumably a French word, since the section contains fr:. But unless I'm mistaken, the "carrot" sense of the word is of English origin. Since the section is outside the sections, there's no way of indicating this split relationship in the existing JMdict structure. Moving the and sections inside the section would fix the problem, but not efficiently because it would involve making extra copies of and sections in thousands of other entries. So just as a suggestion, you might want to consider introducing a tag to indicate these rekationships in sections. Here's an example: 2027500 キャロット en: fr: 2004-11-17 Entry created &n; carrot en: calotte (type of hat) fr: After a quick check, I found a few other entries besides キャロット where this problem might occur: アミ, コロン, パテ and ビス (I think the meaning "second" is from Latin, not French, as in semel, bis, ter, quater, quinquies, etc.) (name) Philip Ronan (subtype) amend ======= Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2006 10:45:57 +1000 (EST) (headw1) エイベックス (pos1) vs (english1) Avex (english2) Avex Entertainment Inc.

BTW, when I first went to Japan, indoor toilets were few and far between. More detail, if you wish.

A pretty awful rendering by the way. 地上権 refers to the ownership of that which is erected on a property (land), the land being owned by a separate party. BTW, is "superficies" mis-spelled?

Mitsuya in particular is pretty much just Sprite. The funniest example is probably Mitsuya Shiroi Cider. The tagline on the bottle is, "Cider Meets Condensed Milk." No relevance to actual cider can even really be pretended in this case. (comment) This can be seen on any number of Japanese soft drinks; in fact, the word サイダー seems to be rarely used in other contexts. I had a conversation with a Japanese man who was convinced that "cider" just meant anything with fizzy stuff in it. He was very surprised to learn that actual cider involves fruit, that it is sometimes alcoholic, and that in English it is associated almost exclusively with apples and never with soda.
