Activities
- 1) Your baby is so adorable. -> Is a correct sentence but if you say "Your baby is so little" to someone, they probably won't understand that you mean that the baby is cute. In english, "little" only means "little/small/thin(when talking about someone's weight)" 2) Your father's behavior is adorable/lovely in somewhat. -> It is not rude to say that but it's really awkward. If you tell that to someone, they will either think that you literally translated an expression from you native language, or that you're really weird ! In english, you usually don't call men (especially older men) "adorable" or lovely unless you're attracted to them, or they are really old. Instead, you could say "Your father is really nice" 3) This color is really cute/pretty. -> Yes, this is a correct sentence ! 4) Those clouds has cute shapes. -> "Those clouds are cute" seems more natural 5) My dog is so pretty/lovely enough to be able to eat him. -> "My dog is so pretty/lovely ('cute' seems more natural) i could eat him !" 6) Your mother has pretty face. -> It is a correct sentence (although you forgot the article : "your mother has A pretty face") and no one will think you are rude for saying this but "Your mother is really pretty/beautiful" sounds much more natural.0 votedNovember 7, 20162
- No, it's not rude to ask for a more specific question. 'Your question is too abstract. I appreciate it that you would give me more specific one.' doesn't seem really natural to me. I think instead, you could say "Could you be more specific ?" or just "What do you mean ?" (most of the time people will understand that the question they asked was too abstract and you didn't understand the subject)0 votedNovember 7, 20162
- Les deux sont très proches et tout à fait interchangeables dans 99% des cas. Cependant, le verbe "signifier" peut aussi vouloir dire "exprimer", dans un contexte très officiel. Par exemple "Je lui signifierai de votre decision". Il peut aussi être employé dans l'expression "Ca signifie beaucoup pour moi". Signifier a une connotation plus soutenue que "vouloir dire" et est employé dans un contexte plus formel, je dirais. Enfin, il a un sous entendu de présage. Par exemple "un miroir brisé signifie 7 ans de malheur" "Un lever de soleil rouge signifie qu'il a pleuvoir", etc. Dans tous les cas cités ci dessus, "vouloir dire" ne peut PAS remplacer signifier.0 votedNovember 2, 20161
