Talk:麗しい

Very old

I learned from my Japanese wife (from Kyushu) that this word ('uruwashii') is very old and not used any more in today's Japanese. Anybody with other experience? Shinjitsu (talk) 11:25, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

@Shinjitsu — It might be old-fashioned or more formal; I cannot speak to that as I am insufficiently familiar with the term.

That said, it does appear in various dictionaries that include modern pitch accent information, indicating that the dictionary editors at least view it as still in current use. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 19:09, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
