A conversation on if the verb 売る (more specifically, 売っている) can be intransitive I found [interesting](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/97427/is-the-verb-%E5%A3%B2%E3%82%8B-both-a-transitive-and-intransitive-verb). Includes やっている as well.
練習に次ぐ練習の末
is this a grammar point? This sort of thing isn’t really searchable with yomitan, but i’d like to know if this is a grammar formation i should know
Any way to use Yomitan to translate a full sentence without using another extension? As a beginner, it’s still difficult for me to understand a sentence by translating word by word…
what is the difference between が and の in phrases like 背が低い/背の低い and 気味が悪い/気味の悪い?
where can I get a english-japanese dictionary in [these formats](https://ibb.co/6cfhHt7v) to use with koreader?
I tried the links offered [here](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Dictionary-support) and I could only get one of them to show up in my dictionary list but it shows ‘no results’ when highlighting words/
When I happen to find an onomatopoeia for a card I’m learning I add it to the card and describe how it’s used/difference. it helps me remember both words better. I don’t feel like I have an easy way to figure out if there’s an onomatopoeia for a word though.
I think it probably would help (but wouldn’t be great) if there was like a plugin to auto generate onomatopoeia for my cards.
Instead of that though, I’d say ideally maybe just like a dedicated onomatopoeia only synonym dictionary I could add to yomitan that would let me check if a word had synonyms or related words that were onomatopoeia would be best. then i could still have the experience of creating the card.
Any ideas for if something like this is possible?
hello everyone, could someone help me with the meaning of かえる here? there’s many different meanings in the dictionary so I’m not sure which is the right one.

明るいヴェネチアから一転して

Looking up して, one of the definitions says it is used to add emphasis for adverbs. Is this the correct interpretation for the above sentence?
Is it correct that adding ぇ makes the question cuter or more urgent in なにかれぇ？I’ve just randomly seen this in a YouTube comment, asked AI, but now asking biological humans here lest I be tricked by the machine.
あの方は だまそうとして
あの 魔法のじゅうたんを
渡したわけでは ないのです
I have to admit I haven’t got a strong grip on allとして yet. What is it doing here?
Supposing he was meant to trick you, it’s not like he would have handed you the magic carpet.
But that doesn’t make sense to me, because they’re mad the carpet isn’t magic/didn’t work. Like if he meant to trick you he’d have done something meaner?
