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)?

>Also, will this forum help me with English from Japanese.

I'm Japanese but rarely if ever come to /lang/. Futaba probably won't help you, but 2ch has a dedicated board to English learners, where I think you can exchange languages. With that being said, I think you'd better go other serious forums for language learners.
