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)?

is my font messed up? or does 辻 actually have 2 dots with the road radical.

It seems like some pictures or how to draw the kanji show only one dot, so which is it?
