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)?

here's a better example. 両手 both have (P) for ryoute and morote, although I'm sure it's ryoute, but with other kanjis I'm not familiar with, I'd have no idea which is right.
