| Comments: | In daijs, unfortunately. Google returns basically nothing but some dictionary entries. Almost nonexistent on twitter. Maybe the rarest term I've yet seen, and can be literally constructed from the meanings of 利かす and 粋 if someone so desires. Should be no less valid than 粋を利かせる, with latter not having an entry here because it doesn't have a dedicated dictionary entry. (I'm currently matching up 利かす and 利かせる entries). I won't try and create 粋を利かせる, but it's a small inconsistency/distraction to have one entry without the other. |
