I would have called this entry simply , the same you did with . For me, the
level is JPLT3 rather than JPLT2. The examples I added are caught from
JPLT3 list of vocabulary and grammar points which appears in past
examination papers (http://www.mlcjapanese.co.jp/DownloadF/3-all.pdf).

that it would be good to standardize the entry format a little better, but
then I forget to follow my own advice lolol thanks. (contributor: tigert)

すべりやすいのでちゅういしてくたさい。

Nasuさんへ Thanks for your translation. I modified my example according
to your alert. In my contribution, the Japanese sentence use to be copied
from other sites or from books, but the English one is mine, and my English
will be improving all time but very slowly, because I don't use English
outside of this site. Feel free to modify all my English sentences and mark
them 'neutral' after. But keep in mind that a literally translated sentence
is easier to understand in a scholar point of view. Tae Kim said it in
http://www.guidetojapanese.org/start.html :
'the English translations for the examples will also be as literal as
possible to convey the Japanese sense of the meaning'. (contributor:

  1. 美しい女性が 好き合いやすいですね
    Beatiful women are easy to love.

    あい should maybe written as 愛 in this case? The whole sentence is a bit too difficult for me to understand it properly. I don't get why 好き is there, in my mind the sentence is perfect without it... :/ I must study more and more to get a proper feeling for Japanese, I fear...
