So...
For an object that's near someone else or the speaker
The "ko" syllable in "kore wa" would indicate that what you're talking about is closer to you. Which could be related to "this" in english
Similarily, is sore wa where it's closer to who you're speaking to which is comparable to "that" in english
But reading further I learned of a knew particle calledd
"a" (are wa, asoko wa, etc.) which indicated neirness to neither?
What would I compare that too?
Same for "do" in "dore wa, dono, etc."

The difference between "that make them laugh" and "that will make them laugh" is marginal at most. As a native speaker, I feel that including "will" means it is absolutely definite that people will laugh, which is not necessarily true, and is better left out. Though that doesn't really help you with your Japanese, I guess.

Hey all, i got a question for you.
Is it gramatically correct to use the ~たりする Form like this?
Example:
Make A wash dishes, eat vegetables, do homework etc..
Aに お皿を洗わせたり野菜を食べさせたり宿題をさせたりさせてあげます。
thanks

usually, "～たりする" is used with Verbs "連用形(た-form?)".
Example:
彼女は飲んだり食べたりしている。She is doing eat and drink.
彼は行ったり来たりしている。 He is doing come and go.
Make A wash dishes, eat vegetables, do homework etc..
Aに お皿を洗わせたり野菜を食べさせたり宿題をさせたりします。
I think, "させてあげます" is OK, but "させてあげる" include meaning "I can allow do something".
if you will use "させてあげる", English sentence is "Let A do something" is better.

I read dictionary. "make" can use forcibly and un-forcibly? if this is true, I'm wrong.
No, "make" generally means you force them. If there's a meaning that doesn't involve forcing, I can't think of it. させてあげる is pretty much always going to mean "allow".
>>730
Just to expand on what >>731 says, it doesn't make sense to double up させる. Generally たり is just going to use する, so you put させる on the verbs which you are making them do.

Hello... I am sorry for the interruption, but I was directed here by /jp/ Can anyone please tell me what this word is? It is a friend's and we don't know what it says.
This is maybe a weird question but does anyone here write with a fountain pen? If so, what nib width do you use?

Is 「理解せ！」 an imperative form of 「理解する」?
Name:

「理解する」's imperative form is 理解せよor理解しろ.
does the word have 振り仮名(add kana to Chinese characters)?

for what it's worth...
I usually use mechanical pencil(0.5mm width) or ball-point pen(0.5mm-0.7mm width).
I use fountain pen when I must write formally something( curriculum vitae etc.). but my fountain pen is very cheap, so ink leakage is terrible.

In case of intransitive Verb, the word can use "～せ" without "よ".
ex. 話す(はな-す:speak) -> imperative form: 話せ
In this case, 理解 is transitive Verb.
(理解 : Noun, 理解する:transitive Verb)
imperative form of transitive Verb must use "せよ" or "しろ".
can not use "せ" only.
(more correctly, する's imperative form. 理解せよ/理解しろ/理解しなさい etc..)
if "理解せ" has no furigana's, maybe it is misspell.

The best way is what you're doing. The kanjis all share the same writing pattern, you should focus on learning to write the radicals. If you know how to write the radicals you'll be able to write all the kanjis, since they're all basically made of radicals put together.

せよ is a form of する. It is not せ+よ, at least not in modern Japanese. You can't break it up.
It also doesn't have anything to do with transitivity, it's just する.

It's incredibly unnatural, but it's technically grammatically correct. What are you asking this?

I have a doubt about expressing needs.
For example, I'm almost out of tea and I make a comment that "I need to buy more tea", implying that for some reason I'm kind of screwed without tea. Would that be some situation where I would use the なければならない? Or a situation that something urgent came up, and I want to communicate the people I'm with that I must leave, but without touching on the subject of why, should I use it too?
And about the short なきゃ form? Is it too informal? And ない shortened forms like ん and ぬ? I've seen in many media people speak なければならん for example.
