  1. What are some better ways to say “I like creative people” than クリエイティブな人?How about “creative ideas” etc?

  2. does Japanese have a word or even a phrase for “the days of the week” ?!

    I can’t find a way to say this. Everything says stuff like Yobi or goes on to describe the specific days. Is this really such a foreign concept? There’s seven of them! How do you say the pack of seven days?

    I’m so upset I can’t find this but have no trouble finding a specific verb for the unique way elevator doors open as opposed to ordinary pedestrian uncouth swung open doors, pfft

  3. In my various lessons, I’m learning quite a few ways to say “very”.

    とても

    中々

    結構

    And more.

    Can someone link me to an article explaining (ideally in English) any difference in their connotation?

    Like, I have the understanding that 大変 usually had a negative connotation, or at least that’s what I’ve been told.

    Thanks
