One certainly would not want to confuse, for example, \u003cem\u003eki ga mawaru\u003c\/em\u003e (to be considerate) with \u003cem\u003eki o mawasu\u003c\/em\u003e (to be suspicious). And it would be useful to know whether your boss is \u003cem\u003ehara ga tatsu\u003c\/em\u003e (angry) or merely \u003cem\u003eki ga tatsu\u003c\/em\u003e (upset). Indeed, even a single idiom can have a bewildering number of meanings depending on context; \u003cem\u003ete o ireru\u003c\/em\u003e, for instance, can mean tidying up (as a room), sounding out someone, or making a raid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dictionary offers the most comprehensive compilation and English translation of those idiomatic expressions that so enrich the Japanese language but fail to find their way into conventional dictionaries.
