腹すいた なんかいいもの 食べたいな とは思うけど しごとやらなきゃ
季語なしなぁ
あと1時間で、終わりそうで
たぶん
 
ええとね、Wikiに書かれてるのは
「字余りがゆるされるのは母音ないし撥音が含まれる場合が多い。」
だって。
最後の1音のことを言ってるのかと思ったんだけど
ようわからん

@YangMuye When that question about "automatic doors" came up, I searched my 電子辞書 for 自動ドア, and I found something surprising. It's listed in a haiku dictionary under 無季. It has an example poem: 「両手の荷 自動ドアにおじぎして」 近藤三知子
 
1:11 PM
I have a quick question that might not be suitable for the main site. In WWWJDIC, kanji spellings of words are often annotated with (P), (iK), or (oK). What do they stand for?

@DanHulme Please see the dictionary documentation: ""Priority" entry, i.e. among approx. 20,000 words deemed to be common in Japanese", "word containing irregular kanji usage", "word containing out-dated kanji"
 
@snailboat great, thanks
the Android app is lacking this documentation page, alas
 
Would 考拉肉 be the correct Chinese for koala meat? I looked up the Chinese for koala, and added 肉.

@AndrewGrimm You might send an @ message to YangMuye
 
@YangMuye Would 考拉肉 be correct Chinese for koala meat?
 
1:30 PM
Yes, that's right.
 
Thanks.
 
I just realized it's not a 俳句. So it doesn't need 季語
@Andrew, you're welcome.

@YangMuye If by not a haiku you mean regular prose, then that's accurate. 短歌 (e.g. 5-line poems) still require 季語 and 切れ字
 
@snailboat りょうてのに じどうドアに おじぎして it's not 7 5 7...
@Kaji そっか
世の中に、色と酒とが敵なり、どうぞ敵に めぐりあいたい
My favorite. There is no 季語, ね?
しのぶれど、色に出でにけり、わが恋は、ものや思うと、人の問うまで
no 季語, too, it seems.

@YangMuye I noticed that too, but I have no explanation
 
こあらにく???
食べてもいいの、コアラって

It's bad enough it doesn't have dolphin meat, but jisho.org doesn't have the Japanese for dog meat!

Just googled what whale meat is in Japanese. Wikipedia gave me http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/鯨肉 which is 鯨 (whale) ... (wait for it) ... 肉 (meat)

http://english.stackexchange.com/a/87169/1420 is making me wonder how Japanese refers to lamb (the meat, not the animal). Is it really ラム? Probably make a change to do something more mundane than イルカ肉 and 人魚の肉.

Of course, you don't learn what 馬刺し is if you don't go to class. I can still remember the obaasan in my class asking what the Japanese for "horse meat" was so she won't order it by accident!
 
もっと野菜食べよう、アンドリューさん!

Please, eat all meats at once!
 
what nobody's mentioned is that "dog meat" in English doesn't usually mean the meat of a dog, but meat for a dog
 
@YangMuye Not saying there aren't exceptions to the rule, just that formally the rules require it.
@DanHulme Good point

Does it really? I didn't know that
 
I think the surrounding context colored the interpretation a bit

I thought it meant, well . . .
 
"When you get home you're dog meat! Understand!?"
Something along those lines

The top Google search results for "dog meat" all look like . . .
 
it's a lot rarer than "dog food"
 
Yeah, it's extremely colloquial
Haven't heard it in a long time, myself
 
3:10 PM
but then the meat of a dog is uncommon in English-speaking countries anyway
 
True
Horse meat is often used figuratively as well to refer to something barely edible

Well, attributive modifiers can bear almost any semantic relationship to their following head noun
 
That doesn't have the same inversion as dog meat, however
 
We have a word けんしょく I think
犬食
「犬を食べる習慣」のことだと思います
たぶん
 
well, eating horse used to be common in the UK until the last century, and even after that, it was quite common to feed horse to your cat
 
3:14 PM
In the US I think it carries more of a desperate connotation, as horses were essential to daily life—especially out west
That, and to most Americans killing a horse for food is about as unthinkable as doing it to the family dog

@Kaji Oh, like a low-altitude taboo-lite Donner Party alternative
 
hehehe...
Along those lines

@snailboat I do use Safari, tell me about "sharing": I'll do my best to take it in using my mediocre on-line skills......
BTW: My apple dictionary still contains 大辞泉、類語例解辞典 and プログレシッブ. Do you know how can I get the new dictionaries w/o losing the old? I suspect if I run an update these will be replaced by the new ones.....

@Tim Oh, I don't mean anything fancy. Just the "share" button on Stack Exchange questions and answers should give you working links. (Unfortunately there's no "share" button for comments!)

I think you can back up the dictionaries and reinstall them after updating, if you're careful.
 
Anonymous
They're somewhere in the /Library folder, I think. (I'm typing this from my phone so I'm not positive)
 
4:20 PM
There's one other thing about the "share" links: they have your user ID, which the site uses to track how many visits you're responsible for. You get badges for bringing lots of people to a question.

@Tim I pulled them from an old G5 that had Leopard on it (been running Macs for a long time) and put them on my new machines from there. I've also got backups I keep in Dropbox just in case something happens during reinstalls and so forth
Not sure if upgrading kills them or not, but if you have a backup it's easy to put them back into place after the upgrade is complete
Also, the dictionary files themselves are stored in /Library/Dictionaries (note that this is the root library, not the user library)
