- I am not sure if there is a real difference. However, it's not very common to say 'licit' in normal speech. In fact, I had to think for a moment about that word before I responded. Illicit, however, is used commonly when talking about drugs. It's a word you'll hear often on the news in the place of 'illegal'. "Two men were arrested today for possession of illicit drugs." "One person was arrested today after getting caught performing illicit activities." So in summary, in normal speech we would just say legal / illegal. But it's a bit more formal to say illicit, and rare to hear licit. Hope this helps!0 votedNovember 6, 20140
- Details on morning greetings My friend says to me (我的朋友说了): “老乔, 早上好。” Can I say (我可以说吗): “是啊。。太早吧” OR "是啊。。但是太早吧” OR ”是啊。。有太早吧“ I'm trying to be a little funny to my friend, saying "Yes it's a good morning - but it's too early, right?" Are any of these examples correct, or natural sounding?November 5, 201470
- 每天一点 大家好,我是乔一 从前我要学普通话娱乐。(哈哈,我知道‘从前’不是常见。)我学一点了因为有许多好朋友们。但是最近想要学因为想懂‘碧眼胡’和‘ 黄檗希运’。知道工作难度很大,困难环生, 但是我可以学如果我练习一点每天。 Here is what I meant to say: A Little Bit Each Day ---------------------------- "Hi everyone, I'm 乔一 Once upon a time, I wanted to learn Mandarin for fun. (Haha, I know that 'Once upon a time' isn't the common way to say that.) I was able to learn a little because I had great friends. However, recently I want to learn so that I can understand Bodhidharma and Huang Po. I know that the task is very difficult, and there will be troubles along the way, but I can learn if I just do a little each day."November 5, 2014130
- Regarding the differences between the first to sentences: "...advantage to..." vs "...advantage of..." I don't believe there is a rule or convention to follow to make the distinction more clear. In this case, I think that either sound fine. Don't take this as a rule, but to me, it feels as if I would say "...advantage to..." more often if I am stating the advantage, rather than asking. "Trust me, there are a lot of advantages to doing it this way. It's much easier." Compared to: "What are the advantages of doing it this way? Is it much easier?" Even still, you could still swap out 'of' and 'to' and it would be just fine in either case. Sentence three is incorrect. "It has" implies that there is a subject that these advantages belong to, however that's not the case. We are simply stating that these advantages exist. Sentence four is fine. Hope this helps!0 votedNovember 5, 20141
If I understand you correctly, then the word 'suspicious' can be used. Here are some sample sentences:
"Because this company's product is usually low quality, I am suspicious of their new product."
"Because my new cell phone broke so quickly, I am suspicious of how well it was built."0 votedOctober 30, 20140Hi there! Instead of making small corrections to each component, I will instead write your paragraph as I would have. I hope you can identify the differences and I hope it helps!
"Today is Thursday, and tomorrow is the weekend. Finally I can go home and rest. On Saturday some friends and I will play football and then have dinner, chatting about everything together. They are my best friends. Every time we meet we are all very happy - I can't wait! Writing a composition in English is very difficult for me. "
