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)?

Hello I'm new

May i ask something about a word? I'm curious about why... I'd like to ask to any person who knows about the sense of kanjis, why 十分な　means "enough" when literally translated could mean 10 minutes? it has to do with some old-fashioned comercial habit or does it related to a religios habit? What could that be?

I hope this question don't bother, anons

Thanks
