    "Ma'am" sounds better to my ear, maybe it is a regional preference (I'm from the southern U.S.). Calling someone "Miss (name)" is perfectly fine for an unmarried woman. But I would never call a waitress "Miss"; it feels somehow condescending, maybe a bit sexist. But you do hear it a lot in movies; maybe it's more common and accepted than I realize. Especially in the south "Ma'am" is a term of respect, the female equivalent of "Sir," so I prefer to use it.

    Ich suche nach einem deutschen Muttersprachler, der sich regelmäßig treffen möchte, um Deutsch und Englisch zu sprechen und verbessern. Mein Niveau ist so ungefähr C1, und ich bin Englisch Muttersprachler und Sprachenlehrer. Wir könnten über irgendwas reden - ich interessiere mich für alles!

    100 million dollars

    If I won 100 million dollars in the lottery, I would buy a house, <s>but it's not big</s> not a big one. Because if<s> it's</s> were a big one, cleaning would be hard and utility costs would be high. And I would go to some different countries.

    I don't think this is a good use of "match." It would be better to say, "This hat really suits you." Another option: "This hat looks really good on you." "Match" is best used to describe how one piece fits with another. For clothing, one could say, "This hat really matches your dress."

    Without more context, I would say this means "explanation". The writer is saying he/she needs to fill in the gaps in the explanation.

    Hi Summer - I would say these are essentially the same thing.  However, "on the contrary" is probably 10x more commonly used than "conversely."

    "would (always)" in German English often uses "would" to show habitual behavior; "always" or some similar adverb is implied, though not often used. Some examples: - When I was a kid, my brother would (always/often/sometimes) tease me about my glasses. - His father would (always/often/sometimes) show up drunk to weddings. This isn't subjunctive, and it's not a form of future tense. I think it's a special case in English that doesn't fit into a standard tense. So what is the best way to express this in German?

    Future in the past tense in German ??? Here's a scenario I'm trying to put into German "On Monday we woke up early and got dressed. We would go to Venice this day. After breakfast we met our driver and started our journey." My trouble is with the sentence "We would go to Venice this day." I believe this is called "future in the past" tense in English, and I can find no obvious equivalent in German. Any ideas?
