    あなたのことを教えて貰ってもいいですか (can I say this?) 'あなたのことを教えて貰ってもいいですか' Can I use the above sentence to say: 'could you please tell me about yourself?' Would the above Japanese be usable? Or does it sound strange/incorrect? I could say something like あなたのことを教えてください　but I'm looking for something a little more polite and less direct. Any help is much appreciated ^^

    (Q1) I got/had my hair cut yesterday. == I had/got a haircut yesterday. They both mean the same thing. You likely went to a barber shop or a salon, and paid for a haircut :) 'I got/had my hair cut yesterday' would often be said if you wanted someone to notice (and possibly compliment) your new hair style. e.g. 'oh, by the way, I got my hair cut yesterday ... what do you think?'. 'I had/got a haircut yesterday.' would be used maybe when you're telling someone generally about what you did with your time yesterday. e.g. 'I haven't done anything lately, apart from yesterday ... I got a hair cut'. 'I cut my hair yesterday' would almost always mean 'I cut my hair yesterday (with my own hands)'. (Q2) Yes, you can definitely say 'It's about time you GET your hair cut.? In my opinion, this version sounds more authoritarian. Maybe something a mother would say to a son in disgust (when his hair is down to his lower back for example). Hope that helps a little ^^

    Most commonly, yes. It literally means they would cut their own hair for summer time. However, sometimes a person might say 'I cut my hair short for the summer.' But they actually get it cut by someone else. Depends on the person I guess.

    It depends on the context. e.g. I'm having a cup of tea and talking to a friend. 40 minutes later we stop talking. I look at the clock surprised and say 'damn, the time's flown!'. e.g. I'm talking to a friend who has been studying abroad for 2 years. She's been so busy with studying, working etc that she hasn't had time to think about anything else. I say, 'after so long you must miss your family, right?'. She replies, 'to be honest, I feel like I only left last month. Time has really flown by'. Mostly, either can be used.

    (Q1) "Don't worry. This is just a lawyer joke"? could mean it’s a joke ‘about’ lawyers. Alternatively "Don't worry. This is just a lawyers' joke" implies that the joke is known and used possibly frequently ‘by’ lawyers. Therefore I would use: "Don't worry. This is just a lawyers' joke". (Q2) "Successful politicians' wives" has more of a positive connotation. "Politicians' successful wives" tends to make a distinction between the unsuccessful and successful wives of politicians. Therefore I would use: "Successful politicians' wives".

    I would use: 'Credibility in spatial data from Russian fishery monitoring system pertaining to catches of demersal fish.'
