Howdy. I know this is not the usual kind of topic posted in this section, but I needed help with a translation so, here we go.
I read this word, hagakure (should be japanese), to mean hidden by the leaves, and I was wondering if it is a very specific word or it is made up by different morphemes. If it is, as I think, a composite word, I hope that somebody will be so kind to help me in figuring out the meaning of each morpheme.
Hagakure
Re: Hagakure
As far as I can tell it's made up of the word for leaf (葉 - ha), and the word for hidden (隠れ - kakure).
Re: Hagakure
Thank you very much, Ceresz. Do you happen to know also what miegakure means, if it has a meaning at all? Sorry to bother you, but google translate doesn't seem to make a good work with japanese.

Re: Hagakure
It works, but you have to write in kana/kanji rather than romaji. It translates 見え隠れ (miegakure) as "glimpses." A more useful dictionary page here.

I recommend http://www.jisho.org. It's a great dictionary.
Re: Hagakure
Ooh I see. Just... I don't think I'm going to learn kanji :P Thank you both. Also, I think jisho will be useful in the future ;)

Re: Hagakure
Although I like the way some really short japanese words get translated into three-lines-long english sentences, I'm gonna pass on learning the language :P I was just curious about this specific word.
