まり and まりない both have the exact same meaning and always carry a negative or sad meaning so you can't use まり/まりない to say e.g. "extremely happy".

since you have these two related points together, maybe http://www.renshuu.org/index.php?page=grammar/individual&id=597 should be merged in as well?

also, in the 'construction' section, you have the construction for な adjectives twice and い adjectives are not listed (although い adjectives seem to need こと before the きわまりない)

Does anybody know what the real difference is between まる and まりない? You would think they would be opposites, but that does not seem to be the case. From what I can tell, they have identical meaning aside from the latter also being able to be used with い adjectives (+こと). Indeed, the どんなときどう使 lists them together, although the まとめN1 book lists them separately. http://www.renshuu.org/index.php?page=grammar/individual&id=597 EDIT: By the way, み appears to be able to be used with positive meanings (unlike まる and まりない), so it is slightly different to the other two despite the similarity in form. 「できて、みです。」
