https://massif.la/ja/search?q=半面
https://context.reverso.net/translation/japanese-english/半面


Since it kind of got overshadowed before, I'm gonna put the BCCWJ data here once more:

"（４）BCCWJ (Counts in brackets are for 反面):
半面 has 250 counts in total (1069)

Sense one:
｛〘活用形＝連体形〙｝｛半面｝＝ 58 (456)
｛〘活用形＝連体形〙｝｛半面｝｛、｝＝ 45 (314)

Sense two:
｛、｝｛半面｝＝ 21 (117)
｛、｝｛半面｝｛、｝＝ 7 (68)
｛。｝｛半面｝＝  72 (100)
｛。｝｛半面｝｛、｝＝ 63 (62)
｛〘品詞＝連体詞〙｝｛半面｝＝ 42 (212)
Note that there may be a few missing for the counts with commas, as some of the sentences used , instead of 、.

That's 157 (45 + 7 + 63 + 42) out of 250 hits for conjunctive usage (I didn't use the counts for｛。｝｛半面｝and｛、｝｛半面｝on purpose, as they could technically include false hits for noun usage). That makes 62.8% of total usage.
Based on that I put the conjunctive senses first, as in the 反面 entry."

.

Both massif and reverso examples show that the conjunctive usage makes up the largest part of total usage.
In case it hasn't been noted yet, the BCCWJ data also supports this.


I get that it's currently only sankoku explicitly marking these senses, but I believe they're on the right track here.
Them also being treated as basically the same grammatical constructs in Brian's Waseda grammar textbook could technically serve as another reference here too.


I think if these two senses were to not lead, we also couldn't reasonably have these [rare] tags on the other senses. Since it's really a comparative rarity and not an absolute one.
And less stark than with 反面 at that.

I've been concerned about those proposed first two senses. After all, they're not in most references. I've come round to accepting them, although I'd be more comfortable if they didn't lead. I'll approve and leave open for a while.

No worries, I figured that something along those lines had happened.

＞So my [2] was the previous [2].  I only meant to say that the grammatical usage was far more common than all of these [rare] noun senses, and this term is not itself [rare]. Right now it looks like it is.

Thanks

＞So, yes, to be clear, my belief is that the grammatical senses of 反面 should be all be copy/pasted straight into this entry with xrefs (maybe just one way, from here to there).  They should probably be the leading senses.  

Good, that's what I had proposed as well. I didn't think the usage of conjunctive 半面 vs 反面 was marginal enough to be reduced to a hidden form and a note in 反面. I've put the two senses from my edit back and left Jims additions from the previous edit in place.

＞And who knows, we might even decide there is a subtle nuance meriting slight deviation in the glosses.  If not today, maybe tomorrow.

I actually had something like this in mind when I put "(but) at the same time" first in sense two. It's quite the minor change, but why not.


If this is approved, the incoming xref from 半顔 will need to be aligned.
And 半面 + the note would need to be removed from 反面.

Verb entries for 顔合わせる and 顔を合わせる should probably be revisited after this is reviewed. (esp. "to co-star", which I think should be replaced).

Primary goal here was to add [2].  An engaged Japanese friend said "I have a 顔合わせ on Sunday, you know what that is?".  I did not. Image search is 90% [2]. It's "formal" in the "get dressed up" sense, and also "formal" in the "part of the ritual of marriage" sense.  It comes before, and sometimes replaces completely 結納. One-time event, post-engagement, pre-wedding.

You can google ビジネス　英語　顔合わせ to get "kickoff meeting" and similar.  Does not have to be the first time each person has met, it's the first meeting as a group for a project/endeavor.

A guy told me that after using an online dating app, your first in-person meeting is an example of a 顔合わせ.

In contrast, 顔合わせ is *not* 初対面 (absolute first meeting, potentially incidental).  The common thread is that these are all *planned* encounters. "first in-person meeting" alone is insufficient, as an incidental encounter is not 顔合わせ.  

Search 野球　顔合わせ and you'll get sports match-up, ボクシング　for the other uses in [4].  "facing off" is less common, but applies in "初めて顔合わせした". "being matched" requires the passive voice, so doesn't apply.

For [3] I object to "co-starring".  Japanese and English have fine, straight-forward terms for "co-starring"（共演).  A figurative use should map to a figurative use.  4回目の顔合わせ is possible (and gets many search results). Translation tools *routinely* map these "nth-time" uses to "collaboration".  "appearing together", "coming together", and "uniting" covers the [vs] cases and are very natural equivalents in this context.  Since 顔合わせ can just as easily apply to actor/director combos, it's doubly off. And the actors don't have to be the stars. (A major and minor actor could 顔合わせ for the second time to produce a masterpiece, for example).

I was suspicious of the prevalence of [3], but if you search for some popular movie titles, examples are abundant. 　"家族はつらいよ" and "ラストレター" are two such titles.  Usually in blogs and movie reviews, not as many news sources, interestingly. 

Would put [film] on [3] if that didn't exclude theatre.

What's the best term to use if I'd like to ask someone about ice fishing in Japan?
https://gemini.google.com/share/5d5939fcc935

1. The Most Natural Term: ワカサギ釣り (Wakasagi-tsuri)

This literally means "Smelt fishing." In Japan, ice fishing is almost synonymous with catching Wakasagi (Japanese pond smelt). If you ask someone about "ice fishing," they will immediately assume you mean this.

2. The Descriptive Term: 氷上釣り (Hyōjō-zuri)
3. The Ambiguous Term: 穴釣り (Anazuri)
You may encounter this term, which translates to "hole fishing," but use it with caution.

I agree with you that the xref is not explanatory.  I've been trying to add it as one of our "use this instead" xrefs. 

Last night I had a table of a Japanese people and showed them photos of Canadian ice fishing, deliberately with a *giant* fish in the fisherman's hands, and I asked them what it was called.

*no one* produced "穴釣り".  Several suggested ワカサギ釣り while others pointed out the size of the fish.  "Can't be　ワカサギ釣り, the fish is too big". They did not have another word. (In fairness, we are in Hokkaido, where ワカサギ釣り is popular)

One Japanese person I gave "穴釣り" to, without any pictures, explained that she simply *guessed* that it was ice fishing.  Because where else do you need to make a hole?

ワカサギ釣り is just a better term for ice fishing in Japan most of the time. It's got to be at least 10x more popular on the ngrams(considering other senses).
ワカサギ釣り	63447	57.0%
わかさぎ釣り	21631	19.5%
穴釣り	26135	23.5%


If you look up "ice fishing" right now in jmdictdb, you will not find ワカサギ釣り.  If you object to the xref even on "use-instead" grounds, I'd advocate for putting "esp. ice fishing" back on ワカサギ釣り。 I don't actually know why this was changed on "on a frozen lake". "Ice Fishing" is a fairly well-understood term.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_fishing

I'm probably a bit more forgiving than Robin when it comes to marginal cross-references, but I really can't see that this one contributes anything useful to the meaning of the sense.

@@ -20 +19,0 @@
-<xref type="see" seq="2868119">ワカサギ釣り</xref>

I'm going to pitch at least this x-ref one more time.

I think most americans, at least, know what "ice fishing" is from media.  In Japan, 穴釣り seems like fishing 専門用語. Several people have not recognized it in any sense.  Today I found someone who did, having been invited once by a friend to do it.  It was ice fishing, and it was for smelt.  Smelt-fishing was the only activity he would use 穴釣り for.  Amusingly, he could not recall the name of the fish, but as soon as I said ワカサギ釣り his face lit up. Tip-of-the-tongue. But his friends used 穴釣り.

Maybe there is some regional preference (all the more reason to link the forms), but ワカサギ釣り is the more common term for the activity. It's 3 times more common than *every* sense of 穴釣り combined. Wikipedia xrefs it, and daijs gives it in the 穴釣り definition. It also has the upside of being unambiguous, which 穴釣り is not. We've already acknowledged the relevance of the link with "esp. for smelt".  It would be a very useful link for anyone looking for more information about this activity.

An additional reason for the xref is that the change from "esp. ice fishing" to "esp. on a frozen lake" makes ワカサギ釣り much harder to discover.  One might reasonably search for "ice fishing" when looking for this activity, but not "frozen lake".  At least the xref will get them back there.

A concession: Japanese people, when shown alaskan ice fishing with big fish, had no idea how to describe it. 氷(上)穴釣り seems best thought of niche fishing jargon. (Thought it is easy to find it in blogs and tourism marketing materials if you search "カナダ" "氷上穴釣り").  This is just not part of Japan's cultural repertoire, outside of smelt.

100% of these UK "state education" examples would be "public education" in the U.S.

"state education"

State education is the responsibility of Surrey County Council, including nurseries, primary and secondary schools, special schools, pupil referral units and academies.

https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/columnists/governments-vat-on-private-schools-could-heap-more-pressure-on-state-education-5231439
Private schools are a pressure release valve on the state education system. If more and more of them close, then the demand will only increase on state schools.

I supposed I was trying to address a very narrow use case that applied to me personally ("wanting to teach in 公教育 vs 塾").  This does require careful consideration before an American audience. 

But I never really liked glosses like "formal education" except in vary narrow circumstances.  I appreciate your condensed version of my spiel. It at least highlights that there is a problem.

It's a little labored, but adding "in Japan" points to the exceptional nature of the Japanese system.  公教育 includes 私立学校 in Japan, but excludes private schools in almost every other country. (アメリカ公教育 *excludes* private schools, just like "public education").

You could consider re-adding "accredited".  International Schools are excluded. But that's a minor corner case.

I think there is a cogent argument for "state education" as a second gloss.  Whatever their opinion of "public education" may be, "state education" certainly seemed legitimate to Brits.  I know one, I may be able to ask him next week.  If he has strong feelings, I'll come suggest it.  I'm including the refs I encountered just in case.  I wouldn't add it for AmE though.

It is a big advantage to be able to search for "ice fishing" and get this term.  I can see arguments for the elegance of the other phrasing, but it is a big loss to search "ice fishing" and not have this come up in the results.

Introduced to me as a winter activity.  It's specifically ice fishing for this particular fish, which must be particular to the lakes where it is caught in Northern Japan.  

Tourist and cultural activity.  Image search matches chatgpt's rough explanation: strong "ice fishing" implication, but in can occur in non-freezing conditions.

Vastly more common than any other word for  "ice fishing"

"since at least 2010"
"this is taking your nui, your stuffed animal, your plushie, nuigurumi, out and doing activities with them"

https://dic.pixiv.net/a/ぬい活
Nuikatsu is the practice of admiring stuffed toys of your favorite idols as part of your oshikatsu.

These stuffed toys can be homemade, doujin goods, or official merchandise. (Given the nature of stuffed toys, it could be said that the barrier to making your own is low.)

Nui-katsu involves activities such as dressing up the stuffed toys, taking photos with backgrounds, and uploading them.

https://latelyjapanese.com/slang/20250725/meaning-of-nuikatsuぬい活/
It means enjoying various activities with a own oshi(推し) plush toy.
The plush toy is often of a oshi(推し) character or idol.
People enjoy things like traveling with it, going to cafes, or taking photos.

Did research and worked with LLMs to expand the definition slightly. These are generally "character goods" (plushies from/of your favorite idols, etc), and the 活 includes preparing them  (pixiv notes "dressing up").

Worked to make this as tight as possible while capturing the core nuance.

Interesting conflict with "縫い取り【ぬいとり】 embroidery", but I don't think this belongs under the same entry. (Wrong principal kanji: "photography"). Only with the full kanji form "縫い取り" do you start to see significant embroidery mixed into the results.

gemini pointed this term out to me.  Almost as common as the xref on twitter(maybe more?), but explicitly the "photographing" component, and not the lifestyle (companionship often implied).

Predictably, 撮 and 取 are both used and both common. Quite common with and without the trailing り。 All-katakana not so common, but ヌイ as a replacement for 縫い is. ぬい取り is very common on twitter.

I don't think so.
