Could I request the various 限る variations?
Xに限る
X限りでは
I find 限りconfusing and the way Shin Kanzen Master divides it up makes a lot of sense but some SRS would be great! Thanks!
A grammar point I just came across in Tokyo Ghoul:
Conjugation: Verb stem + おる
Meaning: to have the audacity to ~
It is definition number 3 in bunpro’s vocab listing (linked below), but it is actually a unique grammar point that functions like “~やがる”:
Not sure if this is already covered elsewhere in which case I apologise but I think there’s a potential further use of に堪えない that is not on bunpro, that which is found in TRY! N1 number 69: “expresses a feeling that is extremely~”.
Actually on the bunpro に堪えない grammar page it is written that
In this meaning, に堪えない will be used following verbs. This is in contrast to the に堪えない grammar point that follows nouns, and means ‘to be very (A)’,<
but the latter isn’t provided as separate grammar point or included in the 例文
Someone mentioned this was missing in 2022 - standard N2 grammar - but surprisingly I still haven’t found it on Bunpro:
Verb + も in the meaning of Verb + ても
(is it N0? is it too outdated to learn in 2025? I don’t know)
Example (from 悪役令嬢レベル99):
裏ボスは強い。魔王をギリギリ倒せたパーティーで挑むも、ボコボコにされて逃げ帰るというのはほとんどのプレイヤーが通る道だろう。
Found this helpful forum post explaining it:
Love the site, but cant say id want to pay more after buying a lifetime. Don’t know why you said you would want too, it would kinda defeat the point of buying a lifetime membership
Because I want them to add Gacha waifus.
一つとして～ない
“not even one”
It is used in an example sentence in に足りない (JLPT N1) | Bunpro but there’s no grammar point for it on Bunpro.

How about a grammar point for ちょうど?
@Asher just wondering if we can get a status update? Are you still working through the list in the original post?
We were focusing on other things for a while, but I can confirm that we have actually just started working on these again and are hoping to release between 5 and 10 new grammar points per month. We’ll just be slowly but surely going through the list while we work on other projects at the same time.
Hi Asher, can you tell use more about this? For example, at which level will these grammar points be added?
They will come from many different levels, and some of them may not even be full grammar points, they could just be fun-facts that we will add to existing grammar. The majority of them will probably be N+ or N0 though (whichever you prefer to call it. Things that don’t really appear on the JLPT but are grammatical structures for all intents and purposes.
Oh yes, I loved the N0 grammar points - they are so underrated! By the way, even if there isn’t a real-person audio sentence, it is always nice to have an audio for the sentence. On a small screen (smartphone, tablets etc.) it helps to go through detailed kanji without zooming every time.
Have a nice day!
Grammar points are our top priority for human audio, so we will most likely have professional audio for them right from the start, as we have a voice actor on the team on a more permanent basis now.
A formal N+ deck would be great!
(or N0/whatever deck)
I think I’m in the right place for this post, but apologies if not…
どのように - “in what way”
どの+よう+に
例: この文法はどのように使いますか？
例: どのように勉強しますか？
It seems to be a more formal/specific version of どう, which itself comes up only as Vocab.
I found it in vocab as an unclassified entry but I’ve encountered it in the wild when speaking with native speakers.
Hi Asher, thank you for your prompt reply.
What I meant is that even if audio track isn’t yet available for some sentences (for example this grammar point, in the meantime, a “synthetic” audio would be nice to help with the reading. Have a nice day!
