Negative family vocabulary (quarrel, dispute) Now I know this is not a pleasant topic but I needed to translate a text on this topic and got a bit confused. So, suppose there are two spouses and they live together. Please, help me understand if I use the right words for these contexts: 1. When spouses disagree on some topic or have opposite opinions on some topic and they discuss it. This doesn't necessarily imply that they are arguing/shouting, it just means that they can't come to an agreement (yet). This can also occur between friends or lovers. I would use the word "dispute" in this case or maybe "argument" though both seem a bit strange in this context or too harsh. Perhaps something like "peaceful argument" could work as well but I'm not sure. 2. The same situation as above but spouses shout at each other. This is purely negative. I would use the word "quarrel" for this.

"Consult with" usage Can one use "consult with s/b" to mean "discuss something with s/b (while also asking for your advice/opinion)"? And also what prepositions should one you use in this case? Here are some examples: 1. My wife often consults with me on/about her plans. Does it sound natural? And what preposition should I use? I feel like "on" is correct. 2. We consult with each other on how to spend weekends. What about this sentence?

What's the right word for this? So here is an example situation: My friend and I go to a cafe. We both want a cheesecake but there’s one left. So I decide to choose something else so that my friend can get a cheesecake. One more example: We enter a bus and there’s only one seat and he allows me to have it. What is this action called? I know the idiom "throw someone a bone" but I feel like it has a bit of a mercenary meaning. The verbs "to yield", " to concede", "to give up", "to step back" also have negative meanings. The phrase "let someone have it" even though sounds quite logical in this case, still means a very negative "to attack someone". Is there a positive word for this kind of action? Preferrably, a noun and a verb

What’s the opposite of busy? So, the situation is the following: my girlfriend says she will be busy for some time. So I want to say: "message me when you get free/become unbusy/get unoccupied, please" What’s the right and natural way to say it? All of these variants sound a bit strange, though I am used to saying "when you get free".

How to answer the following questions in English? Here's an example: 1) "Are you not ready to do this?" The right answers would be "No, I am not" or "Yes, I am", right? What if one uses just a short answer "No" or "Yes"? Is it natural to answer like this? And will these short answers still have the same meaning as "No, I am not" and "Yes, I am"? 2) Here's another example with a different structure: "You can do this, can't you?" What would be the right SHORT answer here? If I answer "Yes" that means "I can do this" and if I answer "No" that means "I can't do this", right? 3) And here's the last one: "You can't do this, can you?" What would "Yes" and "No" mean in this case? It's just a little bit confusing, so please explain it a bit

German words in which only one vowel is different. Words like "lieben" and "leben" have only one vowel that is different (when pronounced). Please, give me some more examples of such word pairs where only these two vowels (E and I) replace each other (If there are any) Also if there are any such word pairs but with vowels O and U, please tell me those as well.
