A Japanese learning server I'm in has compiled another, very comprehensive list of items: https://github.com/EngJpDiscordExchange/Awesome-Japanese/blob/master/readme.md
It might be worth adding these resources here too. It's quite large though, and I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to split i... (more) |

@#53566 Please refrain from saying things like "Did you try to Google, before posting?" It serves no purpose other than to insult and antagonize questioners, which violates our "Be Nice" policy. As a moderator, this is an informal first warning.
Instead, it is more helpful to simply say "Here is s... (more) |

| Question | — |
Possessive vs accusative case for nominalized clauses Consider the following sentences: 1. "She was against his joining the team." 2. "She was against his joining of the team." 3. "She was against him joining the team." Instinctively, the first just sounds wrong to me. Thinking deeper about it though, I can't tell why it sounds wrong to me; "joi... (more) |

@#53696 Users are free to post wherever they want; if you want to ask there, then you're free to do so.

| Question | — |
Why "me too" and not "I too"? I've been studying German lately, and came across something that sparked my curiosity: The way to say "me too" in German is "ich auch" - that is, "I too". A shallow glance at other Germanic languages gives me the impression that this formation is common in those. (Dutch: "Ik ook", Swedish: "Jag också... (more) |

More generally, the pattern seems to be `*kw-` (interrogative), `*k-` (proximal, this), and `*s-`/`*t-` (medial, that, animate and inanimate respectively) e.g
[where: from `*kwo`](https://www.etymonline.com/word/where)
[here: from `*ki` + `r`](https://www.etymonline.com/word/here)
[there: f... (more) |

I see, that makes sense. I was somewhat under the impression that since all of the forms that I found were basically unchanged in spelling except for the initials, that this would be the case for the others as well, though I see now that my impression was flawed.
As it is, it does seem to be the c... (more) |

Very interesting - of course, I was mainly referring to stems rather than derived forms. Though am I right in thinking that it would also be "whom" "him" "them"?
On that matter, it's also interesting to me that "he" is actually a third-person pronoun in modern English, rather than something like '... (more) |

| Question | — |
Where, here, and there: What is the origin, and can it be generalized? I recently stumbled upon this wikipedia page and it got me thinking. Take a look at the following table (terms are lifted from the Wikipedia page) | W (interrogative) | H (proximal) | T (medial) | |-------------------|--------------|------------| | what | ? | that |...

| Answer | — |
A: Can I ask for resources? There isn't an established procedure, but I personally would ask either on Meta for visibility (asking for the creation of a post seems Meta-y) and/or create the resource post itself, even if empty. (more) |

A: Reactions are here! Suggestions? This has been implemented [Citation needed] As a more academically focused site, it might be useful to mark answers as lacking sufficient citations to back the answer up authoritatively. This gives a way for users to express skepticisms without the baggage of downvotes, which would imply an... (more) |

Interesting idea; this would certainly lend some more nuance than just a simple up or downvote. (more) |

| Question | — |
Policy Poll: "Did you try Googling"? A certain question has twice now been hit by the dreaded "You can find this information by Google" I've noticed this has occurred quite frequently, especially link-only answers which I delete as a "this should be a comment" policy. I am leaning towards deleting pure copy paste answers along th... (more) |
