What's the difference? Hello! It's not only entry, but a question too. Please, somebody explain me what's the difference between "to enquire" and "to inquire"? I'm so confused. I found definitions in dictionary and they both mean the similar (in Russian) I will be so grateful!

What's the difference?

Hello!

They mean the same thing. In British English more people would 'enquire'.

The use may also be slightly different.

Enquire/Enquiry may be used for a standard question, while Inquire/Inquiry is more for a formal investigation.
