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)?

Sure. Ιn english, the fear of blood is "haemophobia"(losers spell it "hemophobia" too). Haema(αίμα)is Greek for "blood". In Japanese, it's 血液恐怖症. 血液　means blood, and 恐怖症　means phobia.
