Grammar usage notes

さ vs み

さ is more objective and general, while み is more subjective and emotional and used in recent times by young people increasingly on social media.

「~み」と「~さ」はどちらも形容詞を名詞化する接尾辞ですが、「~さ」は客観的・一般的・程度を表し、「~み」は主観的・感覚的・実感を伴う概念を表す傾向があります。近年、若者言葉で「やばみ」「うれしみ」のように「~み」が多用されるようになり、より感情を込めた表現として広まりました。

「~さ」の特徴
客観的・一般的: 誰にとっても同じように評価できる性質。
程度・レベル: 数値化できるような度合い。
例: 「悲しさ」(悲しいという度合い)、「深さ」(物理的な深さ)、「面白さ」(客観的な面白さ)。

「~み」の特徴
主観的・感覚的: 個人の経験や感覚に基づく感情や性質。
実感を伴う: 心や体が感じるような感覚(うまみ、痛み、重みなど)。
例: 「悲しみ」(悲しいという感情そのもの)、「深み」(趣や味わい)、「面白み」(魅力や趣)。

具体的な違いの例
深さ vs. 深み:
「この穴の深さは3メートルだ。」(客観的な程度)
「この話には深みがある。」(内容の趣、味わい)

面白さ vs. 面白み:
「この映画は面白さに欠ける。」(客観的な面白さの度合い)
「この映画は面白みがあるね。」(魅力、味わい)

「~み」の広がり
SNSを中心に「やばみ」「分かりみ」のように、形容詞に「~み」をつけることで、より感情を込めて共感や状態を表す用法が拡大しています。

i have seen a similar way of changing an adjective into a noun, but instead of SA they use MI. Can i use both? Or is there a special rule for using each of them?

さ is used to express objective properties of something, and み is used to describe perceptions - the way something makes you feel. For example, 暖かさ can be measured with a thermometer; 暖かみ is how warm you personally feel. In metaphorical situations, like the "warmth" of someone's personality, you would use み, not さ.

Hahaha!
たまらない can be used to mean irresistible, such as たまらない愛嬌 (irresistible charm), but also unbearable, such as たまらない暑さ (unbearable heat). I suspect the second meaning is the intended one, rather than what is indicated by the translation...

Wow, I do not remember putting that in - it must have been a looong time ago. I don't really think it's appropriate, so I'm going to take it out.
