Japanese - Ask questions thread

Basically if you have a question about the language, ask it and fellow 4channers might see it and answer it for you.

To start it off. When an animate object (iru) dies, is it considered inanimate(aru)?

not really, "A no suki na B" does not translate to "A likes B"
"BOB no suki na FOOD" would not make a sentence, it would translate to something like "Bob's favorite food..." it is just the subject of the sentence
for exaple:
"BOB no suki na FOOD ha amai" = "Bob's favorite food is sweet."
something along those lines
