In response to user feedback, this is a recurring thread for general discussion about learning Japanese, and for asking your questions about grammar, learning resources, and so on. Let’s come together and share our successes, what we’ve been reading or watching and chat about the ups and downs of Japanese learning.
The /r/Japanese rules (see [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanese/about/rules/)) still apply! Translation requests still belong in /r/translator and we ask that you be helpful and considerate of both your own level and the level of the person you’re responding to. If you have a question, please check the subreddit’s [frequently asked questions](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanese/?f=flair_name%3A%22FAQ%E3%83%BB%E3%82%88%E3%81%8F%E3%81%82%E3%82%8B%E8%B3%AA%E5%95%8F%22), but we won’t be as strict as usual on the rules here as we are for standalone threads.

How do you pronounce 酔い止め薬？
I’m not sure if it’s よいどめくすりorよいどめやく
When choosing kanji characters for a name, are there additional rules other than that it has to be from the Joyo/Jinmeiyo lists? For example, could one use something like 藍傘? (Indigo Umbrella)
is furigana affect trans lation (to english) or only for pronunciation of kanji? thank you advanced and sorry for bad english!
also how would つつ (tsutsu) represent a sounds in pain english?
What’s the difference between joy: Joi, Kietsu, Kairaku and Yorokobi?
what is the feminine version of boku and ore? I’ve only been finding masculine ways to refer to oneself.
