Talk:死ぬ

Etymology
Really? This was attested in  (720). Surely this has to be the native Japanese word for "to die". 60.240.101.246 06:09, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

"by extension"
I'm not sure if this is the extended sense the IP users had in mind. What do you think? Cnilep (talk) 08:25, 25 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Your quote seems quite literal (hyperbolic, at the least) IMO.
 * What about the original usex (○○が死ぬ日), but with something like 業界が〜 (industry) or 野球が〜 (baseball)? But I think it's very odd that none of the resulting sentences are very common in Google. —Fish bowl (talk) 08:30, 25 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you're asking here? The IP's usex sense about communism is very much in line with .  There's not much "extended sense" there, it's pretty straightforward: "cease to be anymore".  For that matter, I'll tweak the translation -- "collapses" isn't quite right in terms of nuance.
 * Minor quibble, but 死にそう in the usex above is more like "I'm'a die" (about to, near future) than "I'm dead" (past tense, resulting state). :)

 * Regarding “quite literal (hyperbolic” and “not much "extended sense"”: Yes, I suppose I was trying to give the IP the benefit of the doubt.
 * Regarding “死にそう in the usex above is more like "I'm'a die"”: Yes, at first I wrote ‘I’m dying’, but waffled on it, since that reminded me too much of している. Something like ‘gonna die’, ‘fixin’ to die’...
