I’ve even living in Japan for almost a decade (probably closer if you count times I visited for months before living here). If you have specific questions, I’m happy to answer them.

I can’t find anything corroborating this (most sources I checked stated ~ski just meant ‘comes from ~’ in the name kinda, so you may want to be careful about what you “learn”.

Examples: https://theskilesson.com/why-do-polish-names-end-in-ski-discover-the-fascinating-reason-behind-it/ states it may have helped popularize it a bit (presumably by having the place whence they came in the name?) but I don’t think the above poster’s statement is actually true here considering the link and several others I checked.

I know several websites consider firefox’s built-in privacy settings an adblocker in certain configurations. I get notices on many sites and use no adblocker. Not sure if it’s the case here.

Really? That’s a pretty typical Japanese breakfast in terms of size. Fish, salad/pickles, rice, soup, and natto is pretty standard. My wife is tiny and would totally eat that every morning if we made it. She’s usually too busy to make the fish, but eats natto, rice, pickles/salad, and sometimes soup (more in the cooler months) every morning before work.

“I’m not racist.” is a great statement. “I’m not racist, but” is quickly entering dangerous territory.

“I don’t want to yuck your yum.” is also a great statement. “I don’t want to yuck your yum, but” has the same problem as the above.

That “but” is doing a lot of heavy lifting and contradicting the preceding part.

ここ = koko = here

に = ni = grammar particle for location.

ゴミ = gomi = garbage/trash/rubbish

を = wo = o = direct object marker

捨て (すて) = sute = throw away (in -te stem form)

ない = nai = not

で = de = marker used in this grammar construction

下さい (ください) = kudasai = please.

Thus: Please don’t throw away your trash here.

Edit: responded to the wrong person. Kbin indents are hard for me to read.

Edit2: add transliteration
