-な
Hi, I suppose you are Japanese. :) If you have some Japanese grammar textbooks that explain -な (in 食べるな, 飲むな, ...) is not a "sentence-ending particle"終助詞, let me know the title of those textbooks. Actually, I have not had such a textbook. --Carl Daniels (talk) 03:51, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * There is a sentence-final particle な but it is grammatically different from the prohibitive suffix -な. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 08:52, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * . This endings usually appear in verb declensions tables but not in ours. Pls check 食べる in dictionaries, such as JED (on Androids) or Imiwa (iPhones) under negative plain imperatives.--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:38, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Module:ja
Hello! I have something to ask you about. I think you broke the template/module. Previously, you could look up 国, and in the Japanese section would have this line in it:

(grade 2 “Kyōiku” kanji, shinjitai kanji, kyūjitai form 國)

But now, it looks like this:

(grade 2 “Kyōiku” kanji, shinjitai kanji, data.kyūjitai form 國)

Furthermore, "data.kyūjitai" is a redlink. Could you look into this? - VulpesVulpes42 (talk) 18:12, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have fixed my typos: [//en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Module%3Aja&type=revision&diff=38609753&oldid=38597396]. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 18:53, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

About reverting OctraBot
Hello I see you revert some OctraBot edit. Capital word and small word are considered different. For example adjunkt here belong to Serbo-Croatia and Swedish, but Adjunkt belong to German. Please don't merge them. --Octahedron80 (talk) 11:18, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It’s their problem to have a dubious redirect. For us, interwiki links to redirects are always allowed. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 11:22, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm? I will discuss this with pywikibot's creators that how to handle this. --Octahedron80 (talk) 11:36, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I think pywikibot has a parameter for Wiktionary to keep interwiki links to redirects (ex. [//en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?diff=40050284&oldid=40049397], [//en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?diff=40050405&oldid=40049425]). — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 11:40, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * By the way, please see if iw really exist. I believe some of them were doing right. --Octahedron80 (talk) 11:49, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, I’ll wait for other bots to recover deleted links. As for the Japanese Wiktionary, I’m sure the redirects exist. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 11:54, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Shinji, I'm running my bot on the articles OctraBot edited to recover the deleted links. Regards. --Thibaut120094 (talk) 17:55, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 23:04, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Is this your kanji?

Fullwidth equal
Hello. Is there a problem with the fullwidth equal? I redirected it per Votes/2016-10/Redirect fullwidth and halfwidth characters. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 01:55, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * : I have reverted your edit because you deleted the Japanese section without moving it anywhere. Have you checked the content when you made a redirect? This time I’ll move it myself, but please check other redirects you have made. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 02:14, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * You're right, I should have moved the sense "alternative form of ゠" (double hyphen). Thanks for doing that in my place. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 02:15, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

に代わって, に代えて
I was wondering if you think these two entries are idiomatic. —suzukaze (t・c) 00:20, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * They are useful at least, but they probably cannot meet WT:CFI. They are usually explained in 代わる and 代える (our entries don’t explain it for the time being). — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:20, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

滿洲
Could you explain the changes you made here? 滿洲 means Manchuria, the place name, not the Manchu people themselves. ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 01:54, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * In Japanese yes, but in Chinese it originally means the Manchu people. As far as I know, the use of 滿洲 for Manchuria is a Japanese influence and avoided in Mainland China today. I recovered the proper noun sense. See 滿洲. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 02:08, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * That's fine, but how can 州 mean "people"? Surely that's like saying 中國 means "Chinese people"? ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 05:34, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * , no, not at all. 洲 has no meaning. The Manchu word for the Manchus is ᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠ, Manju, and the Chinese 滿洲 is just a transcription. The Japanese in the 19th century thought it was a place name because of 洲, just like you. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 06:42, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * But we're talking about a Chinese word here. How can 滿洲 mean people in Chinese? Do you have any attestations for this? It sounds highly unlikely. ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 07:19, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * 百度百科 clearly says “满洲是部族名称而非地名，指的是满族. ” However they use 满洲 also for Manchuria. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 08:03, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I was not aware of this. ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 08:45, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
