    I sent Koichi the same thing as a ‘bounty’. He hasn’t responded, but hopefully that just means he’s fully absorbed on re-tooling the site!

    Thanks a lot guys, I think I’ve got what I need here. The important thing is, I can conjugate the adjective differently then the verb to convey more information. How exactly I’ll do that is still a little past my level. I didn’t even know there was a くなくなった conjugation, but all will come in time.  I can probably do well for now just sticking to い conjugation for the adjective and conjugating the verb most of the time.

    More useful too. When was the last time you said “septet”? ;-)

    なるほど! (I just like saying that) So 一人 and 二人 are the exceptions, not 七人. Not really that important at my level, but good to have it straight in my head at least. I’ll just have to keep my eyes open for counters! Thanks a lot guys!

    Okay, the くんよみ doesn’t matter so much as having a system. I was following along:

    一人 = ひとり good…

    二人 = ふたり makes sense…

    七人 = しちにん wait… what?

    Is it just completely arbitrary and something I’ll have to learn by experience, or is there some logic here?
