It's especially nice if you want to trace a word's etymology or look up words in different languages. Tracing the etymologies of words is an activity I'd recommend to anyone interested in building vocabulary; it helps you to see the patterns in the sea of different words, and it can be interesting in its own right.)
That site seems to be very helpful. Thank you.

I agree, this is all complicated, and the rules aren't foolproof. For example, "increase".
I will study what you have written. I need timeā€¦.
Thank you!


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
