To translate, I mean. Mine might be “pattern”. It’s a motif, a schéma, a modèle, and none of the three conveys the full meaning.
“You know better than…” is a pain in the ass.
Who needs to vent?

    Not sure if I hate it, but a lot of Japanese greetings I just go with whatever works right in the English context at the time. Like, よろしくお願いします can loosely be translated as, “please take care of me,” but you would never say that in English, so I’ll say something like “I look forward to working with you,” in a business context.
