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)?

Oohh, I get you now.  Pardon my rudeness.  This is why I don't like romaji.

moe = moé = もえ＝萌え

mou = もう

I don't know what sound cows make in Japanese, but that 'moo' was written as a romanizaion of 'mou'.  They're all different things.

The 'ne' in your sentence is a soft / feminine way of getting soneone's attention, drawn out for emphasis (nee).  It's like a weaker version of 'oi!'.
