Japanese Facts

Subject, object and other grammatical relations are usually marked by 'particles', which are short words (usually only one or two syllables) attached to the words that they modify

Japanese is distinguished by a complex system of honorifics, reflecting the complex nature of Japanese society, as well as verb forms and vocabulary indicating the relative status of the speaker and listener

Unlike most western languages, Japanese has a grammatical system to express formality and politeness - the differences between honorific and humble speech is particularly pronounced

Derby

A city in the East Midlands of the UK with a population just shy of 230,000, Derby is the 18th largest settlement in England when measured by urban area. Derby and Derbyshire were centres of Britain's Industrial Revolution. Originally the site of Britain's first water-powered silk mill, Derby was an important focal point of the textile industry, with the 19th century seeing Derby become a centre of engineering, specifically railway engineering. Nowadays the city's biggest employers are Rolls-Royce plc and Toyota, and the city has earned the nickname of "Ghost capital of Britain", with over 1,000 paranormal sightings recorded in recent years.
