Hello, thanks for looking at my profile :) My name is Efe as you already know. I live in Lagos, Nigeria and I am an Engineer... big up Engineers, we rock! Like many people here, I love languages. I love listening to people speak, the way they speak, the little nuances in tone of voice and gestures...and in a foreign language, it even more fun. Learning Portuguese (Brazilian) at the moment. It's such a delightful language, very enjoyable to hear and speak. People say French is the most pleasant/sexy language but I'd have to disagree - it's Brazilian Portuguese! I also, speak Spanish, not perfectly but can hold a conversation no problem. I also speak Yoruba - an African language - not very well but I try. Learning languages just for fun. Right now my focus is Portuguese. Next language would either be Korean or Arabic. Why am I on Itaki? For practice, practice and more practice. Maybe also make a few friends along the way... I'm a native English speaker. Happy to practice with anyone in exchange for Portuguese or Spanish.

    Another way to think of it is... an empty house, is just a house, a building but not a home. An inhabited house is a home for it's inhabitants.

    Yes, you can. Though technically correct, it would sound a little strange. As a rhetorical question, most people would say 'who can you rely on but yourself?!'

    'Any' is also used to express a lack of preference or specificity. For example: (a) We can watch 'any' of the movies showing (this means there is no movie preference). (b) The boss could arrive at 'any' moment (this means the exact moment/time the boss would arrive is unknown). Some expresses a vague quantity. Examples (a) There are 'some' nice bars in town (the exact number of nice bars is not mentioned. It could be 3, 12 or 100). (b) 'Some' people like country music (this means there are people who like country music but not all people do and the number of people that like it is not known) 'As' and 'like' sometimes mean the same thing but often do not. For example: (a) Do 'as' I do and do 'like' I do, both mean, do what I do.
