Missing Grammar Updated! (July 31st 2025)

Just out of curiosity: how did 〜むず, a structure that basically died out hundreds of years ago, get a page before dozens of other grammar points that people are actually going to see?

Even in that case it’s a strange place to start

You’ll have to ask @Asher about that one specifically, although I do suspect it is as @cafelatte says in this case.

In general, going forward I am trying to focus on a range of grammar points across JLPT levels and how common things are (relative to their level) is also being considered. I am also paying attention to how many requests we receive for certain points (some requests are quite popular behind the scenes). We may still throw in a rare something or other that we think is interesting or not served well elsewhere on the English speaking internet though!

A long time ago there was a request thread for grammar points, most of the ones we were adding are just in order of when the requests were made from there. We are slightly rearranging the order when adding new stuff now, though.
