Comments: | A bit more of an English idiom. |

Comments: | OK, so it means "when used with verb in the affirmative, it's especially common as どうも~しまう" I get (now) what the note is trying to convey, but considering the sense is most commonly accompanied by a negated verb (daijr even makes a note of it: "(多く打ち消しの語を伴って)"), I think it's overly confusing. Out of the 10 example sentences for this sense in daij and GG5, only 2 are not with negated verbs, but neither is in the form of どうも~しまう(gg5 "どうもねえ" and daijr "どうも失敗ばかりする") |

Comments: | I took it to mean that in spite of xxxx it still happened. Using line breaks shouldn't matter in the "Meanings" box, but it seems at the moment they are a problem. Better just to keep typing and let the browser fold the text. |

Comments: | sense 5, again: "in positive sense, esp. どうも〜しまう" What does "in positive sense" mean here? _ Also, the odd character seems to get inserted whenever a line is too long to be displayed without an enter break in the "meanings" box, for me. This never happened before, might it have something to do with a recent update or something? (I'm using Chrome/Win 10) |
