Profile
My name is Mark and I was born in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. I then moved to Johannesburg in my teens and grew up there. I have been living in the UK for the last ten years now. My mother is Italian (although I speak hardly any Italian!) and my father is Afrikaans. I can speak both English and Afrikaans fluently. I fell in love with Japan about four years ago and I want to immerse myself further into this amazing culture; I feel the only way I can do this is by learning the language, so when I travel to Japan in future I will feel less of a tourist and see more of the Japanese peoples' Japan. I love both the modern and ancient aspects of the Japanese culture and look forward to meeting Japanese people on this site and taking language courses. It's a lofty goal, but I wish to become fluent in Japanese. I will do my best.

    I think it's good! That's exactly how I would say it.

    I think hey are exactly the same meaning. There might be a slight nuance. Perhaps if you add 'get to', the implication is that we would have the opportunity to find out a bit more about cats (but it's not guaranteed), as opposed to we will definitely find out a bit more about cats. Leaving out the 'get to' perhaps makes it a more definite statement. However, I believe both ways are completely interchangeable.

    I didn't know that there was a male term for 'nymphomaniac', but apparently it is 'satyromaniac'! Both are from Greek Mythology. Satyrs are hedonistic goat/human hybrid creatures and nymphs are beautiful deities found in nature :)

    "I've seen it work." means that the person has seen someone pour soda on a stain in the past and the stain has been successfully removed. The person could have also said "it works" or "I've seen it. It works." but "I've seen it works" is incorrect. For the second one, I believe both are correct. In the UK, people tend to use "are" when referring to collective nouns. In North America they tend to use "is". I personally would say "Globe Air are good", because although it is a single entity, it is made up of numerous people, products and services.

    I'm not sure if there is a word for this. A female who has a high sex drive is a nymphomaniac, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they always talk about sex. There is an expression in English for someone who always talks about the same thing: "...on the brain". For example, someone with "sex on the brain" is always thinking about/talking about sex. That is very casual English though!

    Sorry, I have tried to watch the video but none of the times you have given seem to correspond with what you think is being said.

    "Alleged" means that someone is being accused of something, although it hasn't been proved or verified. Newspapers and other Media outlets often use the term to avoid any possible legal action. Also, "alleged" is not a verb, it is an adjective and the correct use is "Jose Mourinho is alleged to have...". Often, especially on headlines which must be short, small words are omitted. "Shoved" means to push someone hard, either to push them out of the way or push them backwards in an aggressive manner. I'm sorry, I have no idea what the child is saying. I have listened a few times and can't make it out. I thought it might be "weak, man." or "waste, man", but neither make sense!

    They all seem fine to me! However, I would say (and it's really not wrong or right, just more for continuity!) that if I was to contract the "do not" to "don't", I would also contract the "they are" to "they're". It's really not important though!

    Someone who is 'getting up in the face of' another person is wanting to confront that person or have a physical fight with him/her. For example, "I got up in his face" means they moved in very close to the person in order to start a fight or to be intimidating. It is not correct English though, it is a 'slang' or colloquial expression.
