Thanks Joel.

Are there any other pluralising suffixes I should know about?

(I understand that plurality is usually assumed from context, but still.)

One of the TF anki downloads has a card for “~たち” & describes it as a “pluralising suffix”.

How should this be used? Is it just a case of it can be put at the end of any noun?

Other rules associated with it? (I’m suspecting some hidden surprise).

Howabout ‘he’ is kinda horizontal – ‘h’ for horizontal (sorry no IME here).

I wouldn’t worry about anything really.

You’ll get better at reading with experience.

If there are some you are having problems focus on them for a bit. Perhaps come up with some rule or reminder to tell the difference between them.

Thanks Jokers.

A friend told me it, said it was their favourite Japanese joke, so the pun explanation fits well.

“しょうがない、生姜がないから今から買いに行ってきます.” Apparently this is a joke. Can anyone explain it?

Thanks Joel, that’s great, some good explanations.

TK talks about “state-of-being” & “enduring state of action”, which I take to be the verb types you’re talking about.

Thanks. Yeah, I wasn’t imagining it as one to one.

missing – the point about “string of nouns”. Can this be thought of as like compound words in English?

I’ve just had a chance to go over this now, but from reading about 行っている on T Kim (http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/teform) I got the impression “going”, as in “I am currently going”, was the incorrect way to use 行っている.

I noticed that some kanji display differently on the mobile version on Anki. Frustrating.
