For example c, I think what the dictionary is trying to say is that 聞いたまま is the natural way to say “just as I heard it”. Googling around suggests 見たまま聞こえたまま感じたまま are also common similar uses. For example I found a web page telling Japanese English learners 発音は聞こえたままを言ってみよう i.e. try to speak j…

毎 I don’t think I have any examples to share from my translations that are particularly interesting, haha. I did want to say that the ごとに connection hadn’t even occurred to me until I read this entry (I checked the ごとに entry again and it doesn’t even mention 毎, which is kind of funny). It’s good t…

ましょう Out of curiosity, I looked for any examples of the negative volitional ending まい in my Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling translations, but didn’t find any (unsurprisingly).

The thing that I stumbled upon is a sentence about blind people: . It caught me off guard, but…

Mmm. I found some by looking for the keigo version – I think お見えになる is pretty much always going to be “to come, to arrive” and not “to be visible”. For instance the photo caption on this page about a walking group says it shows the 一番最初にお見えになった参加者 “the first participants to arrive”.

Love the custom diagram the authors made for まだ. Heh, I guess that’s one way to visualize the difference! (I wonder if it’s these table layouts that need so much work to turn into ePub that the publisher just hasn’t wanted to do the work? You’d think a book held in such high regard would make it ba…
