    By the way, SI. Muroda, for this question and another one you wrote your answer directly under my question, in the "comment" box. A "comment" cannot be marked as an answer on this site. There is another way to answer the question here. Next to the question's title line there should be a large red button (for me it is labeled "ANSWER THIS QUESTION"). This will allow you to create something as an "answer", not a "comment".

    OK, thanks. I guess it wasn't really a language learning question. I was looking at different words for bookstore and that entry hit me right between the eyes. I'm glad to hear that isn't a (confirmed) part of Japanese culture. :) Thanks for your response.

    行ってらっしゃい I know that 行ってらっしゃい is a formal response to 行って来ます and English translations could be "Have a good day". But what does 行ってらっしゃい actually mean? It has 行 in it, and maybe 行って is the て form of 行. But where does らしゃい come from? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.

    Is there a Japanese word that uses the kanji 二 with the on-yomi ジ ? I am learning the on-yomi of the kanji and it is helpful to learn words that use each sound. I cannot find a Japanese word that uses the kanji 二 with the on-yomi ジ. Is there a word like that? Do you know a good way for me to look this up? Thank you.

    Deborah and Allison both had good answers to this question. Allison's link was very good: https://www.thepunctuationguide.com/colon.html The part after the colon usually helps explain the part before the colon. In your example, the ":survey" part was probably a link to a survey which found that 47% of new recruits won't stay 10 years. Your example would not work unless "survey" was a link, because the word survey is not a useful piece of information by itself.

    You've probably figured this out, but since I didn't know it either: Invisalign is a product for straightening teeth.

    I mostly agree with Greg, but his answers use "someone [like] you". It seems that isn't what you wanted to say. Don't you mean, "someone like me" ? I think you probably want to use Greg's sentences, but replace "you" with "me".

    hiragana or kanji? I'm a beginner at the Japanese language. I'm starting to learn kanji. I don't use Japanese for work. I've been told that sometimes it is better to write with hiragana only, without kanji, to express less formality. In particular, for「きれい」、instead of 奇麗 or 綺麗. Is that true for all words, or just some words? Is anything on the internet formal enough for kanji? I'm not sure when I should be using kanji. Thanks!

    I see now. Ueda, you have been using the comment section to post answers. Comments cannot be marked as answers. If you click on the green button farther up that says "answer this question", you can type the same text but it will be an "answer" instead. I was also putting my answers into the comments section, until today!
