Hi Ghazal .. Howdy ? " Diminish " is more formal than " Reduce " .. You use diminish when you wanna make something smaller. When something is diminished or diminishes , it's size, importance or intensity is reduced .. ------------------------------- You say " reduce" cuz you wanna make something smaller or lower something ( size / price ) We expect Microsoft to reduce the price ot Lumia 950 XL ------------------------------ By the bye == راستی .. ضمنا ... By the way == راستی .. by the way , i'm gonna throw a big bash tomorrow , you wanna come ? راستی فردا میخام یک مهمونی برپا کنم .. میخای بیای ؟ However (It often shows contrast) = به هر حال .. یک تضاد هست تو انگلیسی یعنی با این حال .. Anyway = ( you use this when you wanna confirm, something that was just stated/said) == > Anyway = ( you also use this to change the topic being discussed ) == > با این کلمه بحث هم عوض میشه ..... Anyway, I'll see you later .. ------------------------------------------- There we go == Primarily indicates the end of an action Here we go = Primarily indicates the start of an action Message me to give you proper instruction on how to differentiate them ..

Hello Ghazal, Following on from the previous comment by Mohammad. I don't think 'diminish' is more or less formal than 'reduce'. I do find that people use 'diminish' when describing something immeasurable that has lost value or become weaker, rather than lost size. For example, "his reputation has diminished since he filed for bankruptcy". Likewise, 'reduce' is used to describe things that are measurable in size. You can use diminish when talking about size and this should be signalled to the reader (eg. "His bank account has diminished in size/reduced since he filed for bankruptcy"). If you had some examples of when you would like to use it, I can help. An obligation is an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound to do, a duty or commitment. There is still a hint that you have the free will to not do it, but that would come with some repercussions. Usually you have agreed to this but not always. I'll use it in a few sentences. "I am obligated to follow the law", "A: Hey, can you come to the movies tonight? B: Sorry I can't, I am obligated to go to my sister's birthday party" and "I have an obligation to the shareholders of this company to make a profit". If you are forced, then you have absolutely no choice. There is no option for you to have free will. "I was forced to give my wallet to the robber". There is not really a difference between 'here we go' and 'there we go'. Mohammad is correct in saying that 'here we go' implies the beginning of an action but 'there we go' would only be used in very limited circumstances and doesn't signify the end of an action. 'There we go' as in 'over there' , would be if you were looking at yourself on a video or in a picture. For example, if you were showing someone a video of a graduation and said "There we go, you can see us in the background". 'Here we go' is more like something happening presently or the commission of an action (eg. "Here we go, starting on this adventure to Canada.")
