Well, this ◯◯か is kinda weird, if you ask me. 「だ纔瘢韭絎竢蹠\xC2 \xBD †蓖↑ 「だ纔瘢韭絎竢蹠\xC2 \xBD ‰闕繧閼硎 ⁉阡 †蓖植 梱² 「なに」 = "what", 「なにか」 = "something", etc. ◯◯でも works better: 「だ纔瘢韭絎竢蹠\xC2 \xBD ≡銷硼糯\xA2 │犛閻洹鬆² 「なんでも」 = "anything" ("whatever"), etc.なるほど. "か" has a raft of other vaguely interconnected roles. Naoko Chino (All About Particles) lists 10. She mentions the rhetorical role, but only in the sentence-end context. Obviously it's a bit wider than that. Jim
But I'm also a bit confused by something else. The first particle they discuss is ば and one of the first examples is 出かければ. I always thought of a particle as a separate part of speech but this is a verb conjugation, right? (eg: 今出かければ間に会いますよ。If you leave now you'll make it in time.)
This language is going to break my already severely warped brain... This morning I was looking at 他・ほか・た and a couple of days ago I hit 辛い・からい・つらい・づらい.
Thanks
