  1. at a tea ceremony recently, the host asked me what my favorite japanese foods were and i responded “全て”. she understood obviously and i don’t think the nuance matters too much here, but can someone tell me if 全部 would’ve worked better/been more appropriate in this context? i’m just wondering in hindsight now. ありがとうございます!

  4. Can someone explain the structure of using the の particle to make long combined statements like:

    I am a 3rd-year student at Tokyo University.

    I did a Google search and got 東京大学 の 二年生です

    I’m assuming for more proper, you would add watashi wa in the beginning.

    Just wondering what the difference would be if you switched it
    to watashi wa 二年生の 東京大学 です

    Do they both mean the same thing?

  5. I don’t understand the difference of “verb + の” vs “Verb + こと”. They both seem to be doing the same, turning the verb into a noun by nominalizing it.

    Can someone explain?

  6. What’s the difference between 休み and 休日 when it is used as holiday?

  7. 楽しそうに子供達と遊ぶ姿を見ててもすごくいいなって思ってる

    What is the function of も in 見てても?
