    “Undertake” or “an undertaking” is also used in legal English to indicate a formal promise to a court to do something. The thing itself may be trivial but it is given in a formal setting so the use of “undertake” rather than “do” fits well with the answers you have already received and the AI response. For example, a document may say something like: “Upon the respondent undertaking to return all of the items on Schedule 1 to the claimant by 31.12.22 and…”

    “Hibernate” is what bears and some other creatures do when they sleep all the way through winter in their den. Here it is not used literally but as an illustration that the person has taken themselves away to a private place and not interacted with other people for a long time.

    The common phrase that I think you are looking for is “I’m not sold on the idea”. You wouldn’t really talk about a person being “locked” to an idea or a thing. In popular modern English however it is now reasonably common to refer to “locking something in” as a description of making a final decision. For example: “I’m not really sold on that latest addition but great work guys. Let’s get a time locked in and we’ll come back to it next month”

    Both are grammatically correct. The first is more polite, in my opinion, if you were asking someone directly. The second is a more factual question.

    “Lad” is currently going through a bit of a revival in the south of England at the moment! It is an old colloquial or slang term for a young man (common and inoffensive) which is how it will have been used in the show but is also starting to be used to describe stereotypically “impressive” characteristics or behaviour within the young male community particularly around a drinking or slightly yob-ish culture. “Did you see Dave down that pint?” “What a lad!” #ladsladslads

    No, it means the taste of the watercress is clear even though there are other flavours present. It cuts or pushes through all the other flavours

    Hey mate! I struggle with this too. Any interest in being name fwends and language accountability buddies?! Maybe we can share ideas on resources and tips etc My understanding is that if the adjective adds meaning it follows the noun. If it limits or quantifies it goes before. So palabra nuevo But maybe palabra nueva if you have to match the gender up too... My head hurts!

    This happens in English - it is intended to provide some extra information about the journey you will have to take to reach the destination but it is often used inaccurately or with little thought. But yes, it is likely that the person visiting the bay either needs to go south or descend down slightly to visit the bay (which would make sense in a town built around, but probably slightly higher than, a bay or one where the bay is at the south of the town). We would also say things like: I’m going over to visit my friend The car park is round by the shops. I’m going in to town He lives down by the beach She lives up by the windmill

    Pretty much what you would think! It's loyalties are divided between more than one group so it may be difficult (or often impossible) for it to do the best thing for each of those groups. For example if your friend told you something in secret about another friend and you though it would be best for them to know, you would have split loyalties between keeping your first friend's secret and helping out your second friend by telling them. In your example it means Google will struggle with the facts that (1) it wants to make as much money as possible for its shareholders (through its own online advertising platform) and (2) the requirement to look after the privacy of its user of the Android platform..

    If you want to have a *satisfactory* professional *journey*, don't outsource your career plan. I got my first job when I was 16 years old. My father had a store and I worked with him -for- 8 years. After that I got another job and my professional journey had started. It has been 23 years in the job market and I've seen many people -unsatisfied- with their professional life or with the companies they work -for-. Once -I- met a person who -had- been working -for- a company for 25 years and she -had- never had a raise. She is a great employee but the company does not value her. I believe that if you want to have a *satisfactory* professional life, it is necessary to have courage to get another job when you are not valued or happy. !Sometimes! it is risky, because you can change from work and you -may- not like the new job, so it would be necessary to get another job again. But I *believe* that it is better to have the opportunity of having a better life, or a *fulfilled* life, than to have a frustrated life. Companies and bosses want to -get- more -and pay- less, so if you don't value yourself -nobody- will!
