@mushi One has Tore and the other has Ochi. You're welcome.
-
@mcscx so Ochimasu is like nomasu?
-
@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
