I just added a grammar word section for 3 kyuu JLPT. There is also a form to add corrections or more info. Feel free to add info to make it better.

Ooohhh!! This is great news, クレイ先生！I'm preparing for Level 3 of the JLPT and this new section will be of great help!

I have a little comment regarding 「ずつ」. I was taught it's づつ, which I believe is an older form. I'm not certain of the usage guidelines regarding the two variants, but I think it's generally safe to conclude that the former is the more modern, preferred form. ...Just thought to impart that.

I am glad it will be of help. Please do let me know if you find any corrections or find good examples. There is a submit link there.

I had never heard that. But I did look it up in a dictionary and it does give づつ as an alternate reading. I asked Yumi and she said she used both forms as a child, but was taught the ずつ form was correct in school.

After doing a google search, I found someone who has done all the research for us:

Great page. That person like Yumi was taught ずつ was the correct form but have seen づつ especially on old signs. The page says in Showa 61 (1983 - I think) the government settled on the ずつ reading.

Fun stuff.

Interesting! Japanese is very standardized, then, as they have institutions that regulate it (like French and unlike English).

Lol, I can imagine them banning all them "BOY GET 'ER DUN!!" twang accents. There'd be riots everywhere.

Justed added a user comments section for the new grammar database. If you have any comments or examples you can enter it for any grammar point:

Thanks for the level 3 stuff. Nice review.

Any chance that any level 2 grammar will be posted.

[clay]

Yep. That is next on my list. I really should finish up the fast track 100 grammar points first, but I am tempted to start a few 2 kyuu kanji pages.

How about the verb forms 〜させる　and　〜られる・〜あれる
Also
〜ず・〜ぬ

３級じゃないかもしれないんですけど・・・難し過ぎますか？

他には、「（な）ので」がないみたい・・・

〜らしい・・・

Hmm...

「〜てしまう・〜っちゃう・〜っちまう」等は？

That`s great, thanks bud!

Those will be added someday, Gaijinian! If you would like, please gather info and some examples and send them to me. I will post it and write your name for credit. If you are interested, I just need raw data since I enter it into a database (no pretty HTML or anything).
