Were you using simplelogin.io, which is part of Proton? It is actually possible to reply or send mails from the aliases you create there. The feature is called reverse-alias.

Contraction: していて becomes してて? (feddit.de)

I watched a TV show with Japanese subtitles, and noticed the sentence: "秘密にしててほんとごめん。"

I was a bit confused because didn't know why there was a second て after the te-form of する. Because I didn't know how to look this up in my textbook or on Google, I asked a certain AI chatbot about it.

It tells me that してて is actually a contraction of していて (te-form of する and いる).

秘密にしててほんとごめん。 meaning "I'm really sorry for keeping it a secret."

秘密にしてほんとごめん。(without the second て) would only mean "I'm really sorry for making it a secret."

Is this correct?

You pay based on how far you’re going.

I read somewhere that there are train passes that you can buy. I think one was named Suica or something. You can charge them with money and then you can just ride any bus or train. The cost is charged from that card afterwards. I think you can also add the Suica card to Apple Pay.

How important are the different types of lines in writing? by barry in c/[email protected]

That’s a good point. I think you'll be fine most of the time, but there are still some cases where you have to write manually. For example, when filling out registration forms.

In language school, our Japanese teacher told us that in Japanese writing, the type of stroke that you use is important. When learning Kana or Kanji, we should always take special note of Tome, Harai and Hane.

By now, I am wondering, how important that really is. Are there Kanji that you can only differentiate by the type of stroke? I imagine that it might be important when writing by hand, just because it will look strange.

For those who don't know about the different types of lines, this page explains it quite well.
