thanks the answer! ❤️

[hollow bramble]

Buzz off means doing the sound of buzz in away (off) right and that means go away

Its how the idiomic phrases works ?

[crimson dagger]

no. its just a saying like say, a person is annoying you

you would say "buzz off"

[hollow bramble]

Where am i wrong at

Buzz : its voice

Off : away

Buzz off : make buzzing sound away

[flat rune]

Saying "Buzz off" would mean that you want someone to leave or stop being around

[hollow bramble]

I knoww

Its idiomatic

Dont u know its idiomatic

[flat rune]

I wouldn't consider it an idiomatic phrase

[hollow bramble]

It is

[flat rune]

Hmm, well maybe

[hollow bramble]

Its saying like it in wikipedia

[flat rune]

Mind if I see?

[hollow bramble]

Wktionary

I cant send pic here

Its not working

Cant u look

By urself

Do u know what buzz is

And off

?

[crimson dagger]

you arent lvl 5 thats why you cant send pictures

[flat rune]

Buzz can mean many things. It can be the sound a bee makes, or referring to a hair cut, or a telephone call

[sudden ingot]

I don't think so

[hollow bramble]

Buzz : sound of ber makes
Off : away

Buzz off : make bee sound away

In idioamtic way

[flat rune]

Or an insect, I mean

Like when a bug is flying around you, and it won't stop, it's buzzing around you

[hollow bramble]

Right

But its idioamtic ofc we cant do that sound

Its refering to talking

Yes ?

Its figuratively

Isnt there a teacher here he’d say ure right why u guys keep being opposite of me

[flat rune]

idiomatic phrases are phrases that mean something else than what's spoken

[crimson dagger]

yea

[flat rune]

For example: That's the last straw!

[crimson dagger]

not EVERYTHING you ask will have a right answer...

thats life breh

[flat rune]

Mhm

[crimson dagger]

what we are saying is somewhat correct

well what i said was ok

but pollygater is actually HELPING you

[hollow bramble]

Why use buzz then

[crimson dagger]

we dont

its a SAYING

not a noise

[hollow bramble]

Yes it is

[crimson dagger]

"buzz off"

means GO AWAY

[hollow bramble]

I know

[crimson dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[hollow bramble]

It means go away

I know

[flat rune]

To tell someone to "Buzz off", it's like if you wanted someone to leave, like an annoying fly

[crimson dagger]

yes BUZZ by itself is a noise

but with "buzz OFF" it means what i and pollygator said

[hollow bramble]

So how was it invented

So u say theres no connection to “buzz”

[crimson dagger]

im done lol like....

smh

[flat rune]

Well, we use "Buzz" because we would see someone bothering us as being like an flying bug annoying us

[hollow bramble]

Yes

Thats what i said

[flat rune]

Yes

[hollow bramble]

Its figuratively

“Buzz “off
“Make annoying sound” away

Right ?

[flat rune]

I wouldn't think of it as two individual words, but as a phrase that has one meaning when combined

[hollow bramble]

But its like that

It has 2 word

[flat rune]

Yes, what you are saying is technically true, but splitting it into two removes it's meaning

[hollow bramble]

Off is preposition here right

?

U can say to sb “ buzz there”

[crimson dagger]

he did this to me yesterday

[flat rune]

Those two words by themselves don't make the meaning, it's the two words combined that makes the meaning

[crimson dagger]

it made ZERO since lol

[flat rune]

No, you wouldn't

[hollow bramble]

U can

[flat rune]

Using the two words as one phrase forms the meaning of "Buzz off"

[hollow bramble]

“Buzz there and annoy them”

[flat rune]

Hmm...

[crimson dagger]

he basically thought "go" was a place

lol

i told him no

[hollow bramble]

No ı didnt

Are u 5 or sth

[crimson dagger]

bruh im in highschool...

[flat rune]

I guess so, but I wouldn't use the word buzz, rather a synonym

[hollow bramble]

Buzz is verb right

[flat rune]

I have to head to college, sorry. Wish I could help more

[crimson dagger]

plus i have the chat that you sent to me yesterday...

lol

[hollow bramble]

I was right uesterdqy

I checked wikipedia

[crimson dagger]

no you werent tho

[hollow bramble]

U can look at the origin of going to

[crimson dagger]

"going to" needs a PLACE after it

"going to" isnt a PLACE

[hollow bramble]

Who says it s place

Who did u talk to yestwrday

[crimson dagger]

you

here

[hollow bramble]

Look

I asked

[crimson dagger]

"to go" is not a place

[hollow bramble]

Didnt say it is

I asked

I was asking if theres place

[crimson dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-gif-10188678

[hollow bramble]

Not was saying there is

Yea same thing to u

[crimson dagger]

im done with this...why ask questions that you say you are correct to...

when you GOOGLE it lol

makes no sense

[hollow bramble]

Google doesnt show its origin

Or how was it invented

Google says “ it is this “

Not how and why

[crimson dagger]

or use wikipedia

[hollow bramble]

Wikipedia says exacly what i say

It is idiomatic and figuratively

[crimson dagger]

then why ask...when you have the answer lol

[hollow bramble]

Not %100 sure 😑

Do u know idiomatic and figuratively

?

[crimson dagger]

breh

yes i do

im in highschool

[hollow bramble]

Where

[crimson dagger]

11th grade

i am not telling you where

stalker

[hollow bramble]

[hollow bramble]

Starting think that urent

[crimson dagger]

guess i dont live in kentucky anymore

thank god

[hollow bramble]

Everyone goes highschool

[crimson dagger]

yuh

[hollow bramble]

It doesnt mean youre good at teaching and knowladge

Ure example for that

[maiden wasp]

I'm thinking, if I say, "fell free to decide it yourself" would it be kinda aggressive?

[crimson dagger]

no it wouldnt

It's being considerate to the other person asking them what they want to do and you would agree with them or something like that

[flat rune]

Hi, i'm doing a translation of ma survey and need some help, so if you could tell me what words should i use i'll be grateful.

[flat rune]

1. There are two options for communication in discord - chatting using text and speaking via voice. I picked Chatting (mostly by text) and Voice communication, but not certain that it's the best, maybe you can tell me something more suitable?
2. There are 5 kind of settlements in the survey, and two of them translated both as small towns, but in first there are from 50 to 300k inhabitants, and in second one from 12 to 50k. I used 'small town' for first and 'smaller town' for the second, is it ok?
3. There is a point called 'Feeling like that I'm just one of a million people like me' - is it sounds good?
4. I use word "application" for Discord, is it ok?
5. Is CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) enough, or maybe i should point what countries are included into it?
   I think these one most problematic ones.
   And maybe, if you could spend some time and watch the whole survey, that would be even better..

[knotty jacinth]

Is that homework?

[flat rune]

nope, i study data analysis and it's kinda a work that i want to do)

[knotty jacinth]

oh ok

anyways you should ask Topaz or someone native

cause I don't really know how to help you

[flat rune]

Oh ok, i'll try to ask him)

[knotty jacinth]

I think that's her but you can try

[still sluice]

I'm a man

[knotty jacinth]

Oh sorry then

[still sluice]

You don't have to apologize

[knotty jacinth]

Idk why i thought you were a woman

[still sluice]

Possibly because someone named themselves Topaz at one point and was a woman here

[flat rune]

Hello @flat rune ! I'd love to help, and I have some feedback and possible answers regarding the questions you posted.

1. Using both text and speech is probably the best way for language development on discord, so you're on the right track there. As for something more suitable, do you mean outside of discord, or within it?
2. It's technically not wrong, so if that's what you mean, then yes it's ok. It really depends on your definition of a small town. To me, I would consider the first one a "City", and the second one just a small town. That's just me though.
3. Like number 2, it's technically fine, but wordy. If it was up to me, I'd say something like "I'm like a million other people". Also, it's "Does it sound good", not "is it sounds good" :)
4. Yes, that works. You could also call it a "Social network" or an "Instant messaging platform", or maybe even a "Social media site", although I don't necessarily agree that it is.
5. Depends on how big you want it to be, and how large of an area you want to cover. If that's what in your area, then I think it works well enough, all depends on you though

[scenic carbon]

np

[unborn phoenix]

are u here

[scenic carbon]

what?

[unborn phoenix]

is my table correct

what would u fix

[scenic carbon]

Most of it incorrect

U dont have to make table like that to learn english. It will make u more difficult to learn. Try to understand english , not remember the meaning word by word.

[unborn phoenix]

which one is incorrect tho

[hasty estuary]

Off topic

But in harry potter

Are mudbloods jews

And draco is a nazi

And voldemort is literally hitler

[flat rune]

Yeah I thought of this before too

The analogy makes sense

[hasty estuary]

And cornelius fudge is neville chaimberlain

And rufus scridgemor is churchill

[scenic carbon]

the way you learn is wrong

english lesson in school is trash

[frank glen]

Tbh I don't see nothing wrong with it. They all are correct for me

[scenic carbon]

english is really depends on situation and condition , i'm pretty sure if someone learning in that way type of learning, for some certain condition, they will just speak what they can remember. which is , can be misunderstand. because they were just memorizing, but not really understand what it means, which word can suit, etc.

[scenic totem]

I must agree 😦 In general, teaching process is trash. But I think it's because it lacks of an individual approach. When one tries to generalize something, they often describe it for a broad spectrum of people - regardless knowledge, their "intelligence", social skills and so on.

[scenic carbon]

yeah, true true, it helps , but , its not help enough to make ur english good in any aspect (speaking, vocabulary, grammar)

[hollow bramble]

Hello what grammar is this
“He watched us fight “
“He watched us fighting “
“ I’m controlling them instead of them controlling me “

[scenic carbon]

second sentence grammarly incorrect

i think

idk, im not sure

first sentence past tense
and third sentence is present continuous i think

[scenic carbon]

because if its supposed to be past perfect continuous , it should be "he had been watching us fight"

but if its supposed to be past continuous , it should be "he was watching us fight"

[bold shore]

We would to met someday.

Is that okay?

I mean the sentence

[hollow bramble]

Fight is what there

[abstract hazel]

"We would meet (or will meet) someday." Either of those would be correct

[bold shore]

but hwat is the difference bewteen met or meet

[abstract hazel]

met is past tense, meet is present or future

"would" in that sentence implies that it's something that will happen in the future, so does not work with "met"

[scenic carbon]

i think the second sentence right

haha but idk what type of sentence/grammar its called

for me grammarly correct are just for formal situation. if u want to learn for conversation for daily basis, u dont need to overthinking about are u grammarly correct or not. @hollow bramble

the most important thing is they understand what is the point that u want to say about

so for anyone that just start learning english can focus to another important aspects like vocabulary and pronounciation. rather than just focus on grammar but very trash at 2 other aspects.

[scenic carbon]

this way of learning is to make ur progression of ur english skill faster rather than just focusing on one aspect. it will boost your progress. learning english should be really fun, and dont think too much and afraid of being wrong.

just watch movies and listen to musics (included understand the lyrics) again and again or play a games. and u will be better every single day without u realize

[midnight thicket]

Reading books can help with your grammar and writing as well

And of course, along with vocabulary

I wish Bianca to go.’ Bianca looked stunned. ‘Me? But… I’m so new. I wouldn’t be any good.’ ‘You will do fine,’ Zoë insisted. ‘There is no better way to prove thyself.’

What's Thyself?

[midnight thicket]

Do you think watching movies and tv shows help? I want to watch 1000 movies/tv shows

I'm at 23 out of 1000

[scenic carbon]

🤣

[scenic carbon]

well i've been learning english for 19 years apx.

but back in the day when i was kid i just learned something little by little without i realize till i graduate from junior high school and then i felt pretty good when i just got in into senior high school and from that moment i pushed myself at english pretty much , and in that moment i was being more often to watch many video in youtube that use english, movies, songs, learning lyrics meaning and pronounciation, and practicing my speaking skill by having a conversation with my english club back in the day in my senior high school and i'm the leader of that club, my club speak full english once a week.

its just about the time, dont worry

keep going on guys , y'all can do it !

[midnight thicket]

Yeah

That's pretty interesting

Do you think grammar is important if you want to go abroad?

You are tue leader of the cult

[scenic carbon]

If the purposes of going abroad just for vacation, doesnt matter, but if for education, business, surely it is

[midnight thicket]

That's what I was thinking

Thanks for replying my question

[scenic carbon]

My pleasure

[polar heron]

Guys

What does metaphor mean?

[scenic carbon]

a word or phrase for one thing that used to refer to another thing in order to show or suggest that they are similar.

example : "He was drowning in paperwork" is metaphor in which having to deal with a lot of paperwork is being compared to drowning in an ocean of water

[faint quarry]

What's the difference between guy and man?

[scenic carbon]

Guy is a guy. Man is a man

[scenic carbon]

Guys and men are basically adult human males. They are differentiated from each other by certain traits which are not written in some book but are personal opinions of people. Boys who grow up to be less responsible and more fun; who take jobs rather than build careers, and have not yet decided to commit seriously to relationships or a career are guys; whereas, boys who grow up to become responsible and settle in life are considered to be men.

[hollow bramble]

Does present participle refer to ongoing action everytime ?

Verb+ing is either gerund ( noun ) or present participle ?

Please can sb native answer these 2 qıestion ?

[hasty estuary]

Yes that tense means it is going on at this time

[hasty estuary]

Its a present participle

[hollow bramble]

Even if its adjective or adverb its still ongoing action right

The teacher interesting him

Its ongoing right

Or

I grew up watching ut movies

Adverb

[hasty estuary]

The teacher intrests him

You would say the teacher is intresting

To describe someone

[hollow bramble]

The subject interesting him

Is it ongoing action

[hasty estuary]

Intresting is used to describe something

[hollow bramble]

Yes

But its going at that time

Still

[hasty estuary]

You could say the student found him intresting

[hollow bramble]

No i dont wanna say that

[hasty estuary]

Or the subject intrested him

[hollow bramble]

U said presemt participle is always ongoing

[hasty estuary]

It is only used too describe things though

It is the descriptive present tense only used to describe things

[hollow bramble]

Is it ongoing

Is it in progress

?

?

[flat rune]

@hollow bramble Yes, 'interesting' per se refers to an action in progress

But it is not a standalone verb

So it doesn't really mean anything without a helping verb

[hollow bramble]

Are u native english spkr

[flat rune]

Oops

Didn't know you're looking for a native speaker. Lol

[hollow bramble]

Np

@hasty estuary look its always ongoing action unless its gerund 🤨 whether its adjective or adverb or when its used for verb tense

[silk cargo]

whos good at editing poems?

[crimson dagger]

for?

[silk cargo]

so there is a poem called "she walks in beauty" and I wrote another poem like replying to it so I need someone to look at that

[flat rune]

Can someone explain this sentence to me, "this was a little logical slight of hand, but the boy never noticed."

Any native speaker I'd appreciate your help!

[crimson dagger]

if its for school i cant help

[flat rune]

This sentence would be referring to a trick that the boy didn't notice, and would've probably been after the trick was explained to the reader

A "Slight of hand" is just clever use of what you have

[flat rune]

Thank you!!

[flat rune]

No problem! Did that help?

[flat rune]

Definitely! Yes!

"Logical slight of hand" was a bit confusing

Awesome!

Yeah, the phrasing is a bit redundant, because a slight of hand is usually by its definition logic based

But it still works

It's what makes literature interesting.

Indeed!

[polar heron]

Thank youuuuu

[manic field]

hi guys

can you suggest me other term for" with the use of"

?

[flat rune]

Through, with, via, using; would be the more common ones.

[manic field]

uww. nice thanks

what about in "types of"

[flat rune]

Uh, what context is that in?

[manic field]

other types of communication software

[flat rune]

Saying that is completely fine, imho. You can directly also just say "Other softwares..." depending on the context and what you want to say. So if you wanna say "You can use other types of communication software, such as...." You might as well as switch it to "Other communication softwares (you have) at disposal (meaning: that are available to use) are..."

[manic field]

oww okay ?

thank you

[manic field]

thanks

[flat rune]

Otherwise, 'type' can also be; 'kind, model' are what I can think of.

Types of c. s.
Other kinds of c. s.
Other communication software models...

Amazon is the world's largest online marketplace you can find anything from electronics,books,food,toys,jewelry etc you name It's there. Don't waste your time going to stores physically. Amazon gots you covered just go to there website or download there app and you'll be ready to start searching for all the items you might need.
Have you ever wondered why Amazon is the most famous application in the world?There are many benefits from shopping on amazon, it has a lot of advantages than any other online applications,and that's one of the reasons why It's so popular and easy to use. First, shopping from amazon became more popular and effective to use these days due to it being a big time saver, and It made many people’s lives more easier. With the pandemic going on shopping from Amazon became more useful and a lot safer to shop from. Your health is what matters most so do what's right. secondly, It's more comfortable than going out to buy the same items from stores. You just need to open the Amazon app and search what specific things you want. Having the specification on the items on Amazon helps out a lot to know which item you want exactly. You also have many options to choose from and distinguish from to get the right pick. Imagine going to an electronic store to get a piece you need for your computer and then going back home to find out It's the wrong one. It's just a big hassle. It's a really good way to shop but going there physically is healthier because you are moving your body more and walking so there's good things about physically going there too. One more thing that i think is good about physically going there is that you may be able to negotiate with the price as with online shopping It's not possible. In my opinion i think people should shop online more because we have a pandemic going on and It's more safer staying at home and shopping, It's also more easier to find items you want. Shopping online has made our lives easier and better.

@flat rune hey

This is the check list

These are the things that the doctor asked for... Can you tell me if there's anything missing

[sacred elm]

Hey, guys, I have a question. What is the right way to say :
Add something in the storage facility
or
Add something to the storage facility
? thx

[broken meteor]

@calm carbon

.

[calm carbon]

I still don't understand what is it that you need

[broken meteor]

I need to know if my essay is as the doctor wanted

[broken meteor]

.

This is it

[calm carbon]

it doesn't seems like an essay to me tho

[crimson dagger]

yea lol

[scenic carbon]

what is this lol

[crimson dagger]

like uhm...we dont know your doctor...and that is just the main ideas?

[broken meteor]

Yeah that's what he wants

[calm carbon]

if that is supposed to be your essay, I would start by correcting the structure and everything, because it looks like a simple text

[broken meteor]

Heres an example

[calm carbon]

this isn't an essay tho

seems more like one of those old commercial skits

[broken meteor]

It doesn't matter as long as its what he wants

😅

[calm carbon]

well it DOES

because if you tell me it is an essay, I will read and correct it like it is an essay

[broken meteor]

All am asking is does it have these

[calm carbon]

I mean, that is not an english question

[broken meteor]

👀

[calm carbon]

you should ready your own text and check if all the necessary points are covered

We don't correct homework

[broken meteor]

🙄

...

It's not correcting

This sucks

[flat rune]

Your essay is fine. The message came across quite successfully, though, the idea is a bit hard to follow especially in the 'electronic store' part. Are you trying to convince the readers to use Amazon? Why point out then that it would be healthier to go to the the store physically? It defeats your argument

I don't know man I just corrected what seemed not English in there

[broken meteor]

Yes

[calm carbon]

Fair enough

[broken meteor]

That's right

[flat rune]

[broken meteor]

But i was trying to say that going there physically can also help in a way too

[flat rune]

Yes, I get that. But you did state in the end 'in my opinion, people should shop online more', so this healthy thing you said seem to be misplaced in the essay

[broken meteor]

@flat rune can you help in private?

[flat rune]

hello guys, I'm new here........just joined the server

#📚｜english-questions rn I'm struggling with a word, I would really appreciate some help, are we allowed to ask questions here? sorry, i'm new to this server

[zenith ether]

Yes

[humble parcel]

#📚｜english-questions @zenith ether thanks for the response. So with my question I want a one word for: "someone's actions influencing the other person", eg. if i'm helping poor and another person is in my company, they might like that too, so my actions are one_word_______ in the other person. If it makes any sense at all. idk why but rn all I could think of is the word "reciprocating". Please help!!!

[zenith ether]

Influence is also acceptable here btw

...so my actions are influential to the other person.

[humble parcel]

yeah that's fine, but where I have to use it, "influence" would be an odd ball

[zenith ether]

uhmmm

[zenith ether]

It sounds fine to me, but you can use 'impact' too tho

[humble parcel]

ok, i'll give u some context for my usage........so if i'm angry and its raining heavily.....then I want an expression such that.....my anger is __reciprocated in the rain. something like that

@zenith ether do u know any other servers or channels where I could ask questions like these cuz I've got plenty, lol. Though for most it's a crap, still I'm hopeful from the awesome community we have.

[zenith ether]

Skksks I know you're looking for a word but my brain keeps on paraphrasing the sentence since I can't think of any word that can fill in the blank of the sentence without rearranging it and ruining the context, but maybe Sir @still sluice (sorry for the ping, sir huhu) can help????

[zenith ether]

You can ask them here, a lot of people will be happy to help

[still sluice]

How about aggravate, enrage or infuriate? 🤔

[humble parcel]

that's alright, you've been nothing but awesome and you tried its all that counts.

[still sluice]

I don't mind pings at all. It helps me to find where to look :)

[zenith ether]

Yey, that's awesomeeee! Thank you, sir!

[still sluice]

My pleasure

[still sluice]

As in your anger embodies the rain? 🤔

[humble parcel]

woah, I got new words for expression of extreme anger. Though I would request u not to think in terms of anger but something around mirroring the action. Seems like "mirroring" could be one but its quite loose for the usage.

[still sluice]

I understand
Reciprocate is the closest word I could think of, but it also depends on how much freedom you have using vocabulary.
A more formal and rarely used word could be requite

[humble parcel]

not the just the anger but any expression. Be it help, compassion, sadness, and more

[still sluice]

Ah

[humble parcel]

wait really, if reciprocate has the similar meaning then it could for, for now at least.

[still sluice]

Good

[humble parcel]

using requite will deviate the context, I reckon.

[still sluice]

Use what you see fits the context best if you know the full context and the limitations

[humble parcel]

sure sir and yeah this discussion was really helpful guys @still sluice and @zenith ether, plus I'm really glad that I learned some new and cool words. Actually I'm trying to write a novel, never done it before and wanted to give it a try, so sometimes I get stuck with the words. My vocabulary isn't really great hence u guys 🙂

[still sluice]

Oh, that's wonderful!
I hope you enjoy your writing, and feel free to ping me if you need any help

[zenith ether]

That's great! Good luck, Anil!

[humble parcel]

thanks guys @zenith ether @still sluice , will surely bother u for more stupid questions.

if someone is interested in reading I would love to hear the criticism. though its far from complete as of now. Cuz I get really lazy to actually sit and write, hehehe.

np!

Last time I'll be asking you to stop, mister.

[hasty estuary]

Nah they cant

[supple dawn]

is it consequently?

[zenith ether]

It's a test, what do you think? 👀

[supple dawn]

nah i already did it yesterday but you don't get the answers afterwards

just wanna comfirm

[zenith ether]

B

[supple dawn]

can you tell me why? both my friends told me it was consequently

[zenith ether]

Sequentially is just not right

As well as consequently because its use is the same to 'in consequence...'

E.g., It rained yesterday. Consequently, she didn't attend her classes.

It is not acceptable since there is no consequence-related thing mentioned in the sentence

Subsequently = eventually

Eventually however, ...

Do you get what I am saying?

[supple dawn]

ohhh i though it meant afterwards

mhm thank you

[zenith ether]

Could also be that ^^

[tight current]

Hi there

When I use "easier"

Is just for comparison?

Or i can say "this champion is the easier to use."

Or i have to say easiest

[flat rune]

Easier is comparative, the easiest is superlative.

The reason why you add 'the' is because you refer to one specific thing you're talking about.

"This book is much easier to read than the other one."
vs.
"This was the easiest exam I have ever taken." - this was the easiest exam out of every single one you ever took.

[tight current]

So, imagine I'm talking about question in an exam.

And the last is the easiest or easier 🤨

Because I'm comparing with the others.

But it's not cleat

[flat rune]

Hello, what does it mean "payment with plastic" ?

[flat rune]

It depends. If you say "This last question was easier", it means you are comparing it to something. But easier compared to what? So you should add the other object you compare it to.
"It was easier compared to question(s) A(B,C)."

But if you want to compare that one question to a group of questions, or to every question in the exam, you say:
"It was the easiest question out of them all."

When you say 'the', it's clear it is the only one.

[tight current]

So. Easiest is the correct one. Thx very much

[long karma]

The swing won't last swinging for a long period time.
Is this actually correct?(If not please correct it for me, tq ❤️ )

[somber holly]

The swing won't last long .

[long karma]

tq

[somber holly]

last long = long period of time (phrasel verb)

"ohh i think he won't last long anymore, we almost won.."

[long karma]

but we lost, haha.

[somber holly]

sure did

[fickle raft]

Throughout the last week I was feeling like my pronunciation was getting worse for no reason at all, suddenly English stopped feeling comfortable in my mouth. But now, I'm feeling confident again, and I think that I would be perfectly understandable for native speakers. This is not the first time it happens, and I believe it won't be the last one. Am I the only one who feels that? Is there any reason for it?

[brazen cosmos]

It happens sometime.

I think all of the learners feel like you don't worry.

[flat rune]

Hello, someone can explain what does it mean : " I almost wish ... " ? Thank you.

[zenith ether]

It conveys the literal meaning for me tho, I don't think it's an idiom

Almost = not quite done or nearly finished
Wish = wanting something to happen

[minor galleon]

You almost (or nearly fully) want for something to happen

[flat rune]

what is different between " modest " and " humble" ? someone helps me . thank you

[frank glen]

Modest is about having a moderate estimate about one's abilities or achievement. Otherwise being humble is about having a moderate estimate of one's own importance, I mean as a person

[flat rune]

What does pog mean?

[hasty estuary]

Just a internet term for happiness

People say it when they win a game or something good happens

Its also used as a descriptive word: That is so pog

[tiny summit]

a word/slang rooted from twitch users and used by twitch users to express joy or triumph. for example, “hey i just won a game.” “pog.” it’s like “cool!” or “awesome!”

[flat rune]

What is the difference between "prone to" and "tend to" ? Thanks.

The government released an order to move the opening of classes.

[ruby canopy]

Does ‘afford’ is only means pecuniary issues? Can I say, for example, ‘I can't afford to judge his worldview’?

[crimson dagger]

sometimes it means you cant get it, like say your mom cant afford a SUPER expensive car

[ruby canopy]

I uderstand we usd it when talkimg about material values, but I asked about other things beside that

[crimson dagger]

i really dont know much about that way tho

[ruby canopy]

frrrrr

can you call here someone who know then?

perhaps somebody from general chat can help me

[mental nymph]

Okay so say you were saying “That class starts very early. I can’t afford to lose any time.”

that’s a good example

[ruby canopy]

and mine is not?

[sudden ingot]

He didn't want to say that.

[ruby canopy]

I see, just need to be sure.

what flown back means

[flat rune]

past participle of fly

is it a phrasal verb

It means going in an airplane

uhh

now it makes sense

[flat rune]

nope its not

I was struggling to understand what the character meant by saying this

[brisk python]

Hi can someone kinda paraphrase this im a little bit confused on what its trying to say. " Reparations serve to acknowledge the legal obligation of a state, or individual(s) or group, to repair the consequences of violations — either because it directly committed them or it failed to prevent them."

[flat rune]

flown is the past participle of fly

Yeah yeah I got it I was just confused because I thought fly back was a phrasal verb and I couldn't find it on a dictionary

[flat rune]

hmmm you want a transcription of this to a more readable form

right?

[brisk python]

is it saying that Reparations is repairing the violation of violations

?

[brisk python]

yes please

oops typo

[flat rune]

okay

[brisk python]

what i meant to say is it saying that reparations is repairing the violations that was caused?

[flat rune]

yep

hmmm

[brisk python]

https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/sf-supervisors-approve-first-african-american-reparations-committee/2536721/

[flat rune]

reparation is the act in which you because of your wrongdoings have to give something so the other party is happy

[brisk python]

i am reading this article and it says "Reparations Committee" and I got confused what it meant

[flat rune]

reparations is to make things right

Lets say they steal from your shop

[shrewd niche]

The root is repair

Repairations like that

[flat rune]

LMAO yes

[shrewd niche]

Think of it like that

[brisk python]

i understand

[bronze maple]

question: is it "lots of variety" or "lots of varieties"?

[gusty frost]

It could be both

My advise is say it out load and if it sounds natural roll with it

[bronze maple]

okay so if I wanna say "Big cities not only offers young people lots of opportunity, but lots of variety as well"?

[gusty frost]

Yes that works

[bronze maple]

the result are back but to be sure

can you check this out

[gusty frost]

Sure

[gusty frost]

A b and c all make sense

[scenic carbon]

B

[bronze maple]

it's ask for "THE BEST" can't understand what that means

[gusty frost]

C and b are the best just opposites of each other

Probably c because your saying it’s has good and bad

[scenic carbon]

B

B

B

[bronze maple]

why tf do I choose A

[scenic carbon]

it has correlation with opportunities

B

[scenic carbon]

tf

[zenith ether]

Yea I'm with B

[scenic carbon]

🤣

[bronze maple]

wait why is A wrong again?

[scenic carbon]

it should be varieties

[bronze maple]

isn't it uncountable?

[scenic carbon]

whenever “variety” is used it is used with singular “a”

[bronze maple]

?

[bronze maple]

uh?

[bronze maple]

but there's a "not only" in the first term?

[gusty frost]

What

[bronze maple]

"city life not only..."

I thought the following term should be positive?

or maybe not

I could be wrong

[scenic carbon]

a variety of flowers
varieties of flowers

there is no a, so answer A is wrong

[bronze maple]

sure but...

the correct answer is C

[scenic carbon]

even it doesnt suit with the sentence

oh yea?

really?

[bronze maple]

yes

[scenic carbon]

oh

i didnt know drawbacks mean

[bronze maple]

but she could be wrong tho

[scenic carbon]

lmao

yeah either B or C if i read this question

[bronze maple]

like tho opposite of opportunity

[bronze maple]

so is B correct?

[gusty frost]

I think c is right

Probably because they want to convey both sides

[scenic carbon]

wait what

bruh

[bronze maple]

?

[scenic carbon]

u just told me the answer is c

wdym

[bronze maple]

yes, but you said either

so is it correct?

[scenic carbon]

in my opinion i will answer B

i prefer answer b

[bronze maple]

what tf is this mess

[gusty frost]

I think c is the strongest answer

[scenic carbon]

i just didnt choose C because idk what that word means

lmao

because im not native

lmao

[gusty frost]

It just means the bad stuff

[scenic carbon]

oh yeah

wtf

i didnt read the last words

lmao

yeyeyeyeyey

C is the answer lmao

[bronze maple]

[flat rune]

which one is correct look on the map or look at the map? and why

[flat rune]

Both

[flat rune]

are any situations where i should say look at the map or on the map? or it is fine

[sleek blade]

i would use "at" if I'm like pointing it out and "on" if i want them to look up for something

[flat rune]

to refer to a position or location which we see as a point

on:

to refer to a position on any surface```
In my opinion, if you look at the map, you're looking at it as an external object. 

E.G.: "She spent some time *looking at the map* to search for her next destination." (Emphasis put on the *act* of looking, leaving your gaze somewhere for a fixed amount of time).

Whereas if you look on the map, you're specifically accounting for the fact that you want to search for something. 

E.G.: "Look it up on the map. Look on the map and check for yourself."

If anyone disagrees, correct me. I'm also curious.

thank you guys

Hey guys, i was reading Dracula by Bram Stoker and i found a phrase that i dont understand. Could you guys help me by explaning what is the meaning ?

"on the near side the sea-wall makes an elbow crooked inversely"

i am not sure how i suppose to interpret the elbow part LMAO

sorry if my english is bad X.x

[zenith ether]

it's essentially saying that the sea-wall on the near side is in an inverted L-shape

[zenith ether]

summin like this

like a bent elbow but the opposite way

[flat rune]

do you already know the answer to this? i find the sentence interesting. like there really isn't a "best" answer

i feel like it wants to test if u can make contrasting ideas using 'but'
But the way the first part was worded it shouldn't be contrasting but similar ideas

not only x but also y

u know those tv shopping thing, they'll say something like

but not only that if you buy now you'll also get more freebies

[zenith ether]

yea same thought, the test was prolly rigged

[flat rune]

it used "but" so I'm gonna go with C but will take note that the sentence was a bit awkward

if u dare u can tell the teacher the question sounds off lol

[valid sapphire]

There would've been three of us If your sister had came...
In question would be

It is not a question here, so why are we using had in the beginning?

Please ping when you respond :))

[frank glen]

Because this phrase is in fact a conditional.

Had we know has the same meaning as If we had know

I don't know much about gramatical rules but this happens a lot on books and poetry.

[tame eagle]

@frank glen is it dialectical or what?

[frank glen]

Not sure, but I have seen this only on old books tbh

[tame eagle]

@frank glen so this sentence is only used with "condition 3* ?
Right?

[tame eagle]

it is why

is it correct?

[tame eagle]

can I replace it with that is why ?

[tame eagle]

It wasn't related to that conditional sentence question....
It was a different question!! 🙂

[hollow bramble]

İ see him fall

Whats fall and falling

Obect complement ???

Or adverb

[rough bronze]

The difference between "your" & "you're"

"Your" is used referring to a property you own OR Your personal BELONGINGS ex: your pencil

"You're " constraction of "you are" meaning you are pointing out at somebody ex: you're beautiful = YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

Is this correct?

[gusty frost]

Yes

[rough bronze]

Thanks

[frank glen]

Yes

[frank glen]

Falling is the process of falling, I mean, it is present continuous. Fall is simple present.

[stiff drum]

In Peru yes

[sudden ingot]

Interesting .

[gusty frost]

You eat food stals in Peru?

[crimson dagger]

we cant do homeowork

[noble wasp]

can someone explain me something? i have a friend that everytime i see him he says "may you have a great day!". but why does he use "may" at the beginning if it's not a question?

[gusty frost]

Idk ask them because it’s not proper grammar or a saying I’ve heard before

[zenith ether]

May can also be used in a formal context to convey a wish or desire for something to happen in the future.

May has many uses

[kindred finch]

pls

say me how to say it correct in right form . I have a lot of __ (little ) duties there.

[minor galleon]

Are you trying to say you have not a lot of duties?

If so, You can say I have few duties

[kindred finch]

XD it Ik
But we have hw task in which wrote this.

[kindred finch]

.

[minor galleon]

Ah sorry, we can't help with homework

[kindred finch]

:?

It s engl question.... I don't ask full hw.. Just 1 sent.

I just idk how to write it in right form..

[minor galleon]

Is it like this?

Are you supposed to change little into something else? Sorry...

[kindred finch]

I think no. Just another form of 'little'

[minor galleon]

Hmm... what are you trying to show?

Sorry I'm not really good for this

You can say I have a lot of small duties there

But it doesn't really make sense as usually "small duties " would mean that it is not hard to do, and you use different wording for that

[kindred finch]

I had to write it in right form . I have a lot of __ (little ) duties there. Word little must be in right form , It s the task from hw, idk how to say in this sent." little" in right form

[minor galleon]

It's fine, I get what you mean

[kindred finch]

Ye, I think it s the most correct version)

[minor galleon]

Small = little

They mean the same

[kindred finch]

Ok, thank u so much ^^

[minor galleon]

But small would be better

[kindred finch]

Gl! :)

When you say the phrase 'the penny drops,' it means that someone finally understands what you are trying to say after explaining it to them multiple times.
