IMAGINE REAL DAILY LIFE
In this italki site, I don't understand the difference between “Start a new discussion” page and “ask a question” one. It seems almost same pages. Let me imagine the discussion in our real life. It occurs at conference room. Several people argue about something excitedly on real time. So I think in this site, “Start a new discussion” page should be at least “live chat” and several people should participate at the same time.
I believe you can see the truth of things (in this case, on discussion) when you imagine on your real daily life, But if you don’t, you can’t notice the something different.

Interesting. Well I guess the two features are similar in terms of sharing the same goal of getting some answer or feedback regarding a question/topic. The "ask a question" feature aims to let users ask a particular question. Meanwhile the discussion feature lets you discuss a certain topic. But at the end of the day both features can still function the same way.

Thank you your comment. But, maybe I don't understand exactly what you say. You are saying there are lots of aspect of "discussion", right?

To me, an answer implies that there is a finite number of solutions. A discussion
implies that there could be infinite sharing of information without ever mentioning even one solution. Just saying.
