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)?

Haha so wrong.
I learn 10x faster from just reading than fucking writing shit down. I just read Japanese stuff and I pick up a fuck load of words and kanji at the same time, and I'm picking it all up quick. I obviously won't use rikai chan for a word I know, but if It's a must, I'll use it.
