            @mushi thinkable ;) Ochimasu seems to translate as "fall down, drop down",so that may be the meaning of this colonel's 1st name ur1.ca/q9wid

      @mushi If they're used together in the context of washing clothes the difference might be close to "it comes off" and "~ can take it off"

        @bsmall2 Thanks ^^ i imagined Toremasu was more like to deatach from somehwere and fall down, like a fruit from a tree or a button from a shir

          @mushi I think Torimasu is like take, Toremasu like able to take. And Ochimasu works more like fall, but context makes the interpretation.

            @bsmall2 that is what i initially though, but the book lists both of them as "cair" (to fall). It might be just a bad translation, though http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/855790
