If intransitive verb updates are scheduled for the next batch, I’d vote for adding “to be broken” to the acceptable synonym list for 折れる.

I’ve gratefully developed the habit of typing “to something” and “to be ” to ingrain transitivity pairs. The primary meaning of “to break” makes the most sense, but since it’s intransitive I think it’s important to accept “to be broken” as well (I’ve finally added it as a user synonym today).

Thanks for the constant and continuing improvements!

@TofuguJenny The tags are all messed up for the kanji 彼 reading explanation

Amazingly, it looks right visually on the site.

Hi @UInt2048 Unless I’m missing something, the tags look okay on my end, though there was a blank space right at the beginning of the reading mnemonic. I removed that, so let me know if that fixes things on your end!

Whatever you did fixed it; thank you!

I double checked to see if they’d said that 里心 had been removed…

It was removed - last October, apparently - though they’re still yet to mention that in an update post. :stuck_out_tongue:

They announced it in one of the weekly content updates back when they removed it. It’s in its own section on hidden items all the way at the bottom of the update:

Maybe we should postulate for it to be re-added then? :joy:
Alongside a katakana reading for fugu.

“Postulate”? Maybe we should put down the thesaurus before someone gets hurt. :stuck_out_tongue:

I wish they would, I’ve both encountered it in the wild and used it in conversation :slight_smile:
