Japanese - Ask questions thread

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

Huh? I just use rikai chan to look stuff up the problem comes when it has multiple readings.

You mean like google it in hiragana? I tried it and moroude got way more results, but when I do both in katakana, only ryouude gets results so I'm guessing it's that, but still, either there's something I'm missing or it's not very efficient.
