Difference between から and より (from) I have seen the word より (more than...) can be translated as "from" too, like から. For example: おじが神戸こうべよりひょっこりやってきた = My uncle blew in from Kobe. 1. What's the difference between より and から in this case? 2. It's correct to say "日本より来ました" instead "日本から来ました" ? Thanks.
