    Today I learned the phrase

    頭(あたま)がどうかしている

    which means “to be out of your mind.”

    The form I actually saw was どうかしちゃった, which I think is a contraction of どうかしてしまった.

    I learned about Japanese humour, and this phrase made me laugh…

    コメントは控えさせていただきます (I refrain from comments)

    It sounds so polite yet incriminating.

    I only wish I had the deep voice to properly say it. Thank you, Japan Times!

    > 見殺し

    I just saw that word in ラプンシェル. Children’s stories are bizarre sometimes.

    Today I learned the phrase “言い出したら聞かない” (literally “when suggest not listen”), which means “obstinate.”

    Today I learned another use of the の particle. The phrase “妻のおりん” means “wife [whose name is] Orin.”

    Today I learned another use of 中. You can make a kind of superlative.

    男の中の男 – man among men

    基本中の基本 – most basic [thing]

    Interestingly, in the first example 中 is read なか, whereas the second is read ちゅう.
