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)?

when it comes at the end of a sentence it usually means there's more sentence (implied) but deliberately unspoken.

よいお年を - A Happy New Year (the unspoken part is "have a" So the full meaning is "Have a Happy New Year".

As for being after the word, "you" I can only say, why the hell not?
あなたを好きです。 "I like you"
