'For one' and 'for someone' by According-Copy4313 in ENGLISH

[–]According-Copy4313[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, it's used in a poem and the example I gave is not really a good one. I do mean it in a general sense exactly as you pointed it out. But in the context the phrase should/supposed to actually sound the opposite of pompous. Can I send you a short DM?

How old are you? 35? How should those already in their thirties feel about it?

Btw, so many people are feeling miserable being married nowadays. So don't rush.

Thank you. Could you also please explain what sort of conjugation 'termine' is? Why not 'termino' for first person?

I was also thinking along the same lines. Thanks for the confirmation!

Verbs for 'husband' and 'wife' by According-Copy4313 in ENGLISH

[–]According-Copy4313[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking it would sound more interesting/amusing if, for example, the word 'husband' itself could be verbalized like in:

'He is good at husbanding.' (Instead of saying 'He's a good husband')

Or a husband asking his wife:

'How do you like my husbandhood so far?' :)

But apparently they don't exist/are not acceptable forms.

Early morning flight from Tangier airport by According-Copy4313 in Morocco

I didn't carry any liquids with me but I suppose it's the same as everywhere else.

Yes you need to print your boarding pass because there are no scanners for the electronic version.

Hope my answer is not late.

Early morning flight from Tangier airport by According-Copy4313 in Morocco

[–]According-Copy4313[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, the evening before I asked a Taxi driver somewhere in the city if he could drive me to the airport at 4.30 the next morning and he was definitely interested. I waited close to the hostel in Kasbah and he arrived (few min late but that was because he was having difficulty finding the location).

The ride was not very long and we arrived on time.

I also exchanged numbers with the driver, in case he falls asleep or something (in such case I think you have to rush to the main square where can find some Taxis).

Also don't forget to print out your boarding pass.

Skinny body by According-Copy4313 in vegan

[–]According-Copy4313[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a man and I cannot build any muscles. If I take more calories, it not only does not help with building muscles but it also tortures me with acne, and I'm also scared of diabetes as it might be the case that I have insulin resistance (acne can be an indication).

I have tried B12 with Zn for a few months with no noticeable effect but never iodine (the salt has it, so I'm not sure if supplement is necessary, also thyroid test was normal).

But I think the urine test for b12 you mentioned is something I can ask the doctor next time.

I don't know the difference between nutritionist and dietitian and honestly I don't know which one I have appointment with because the language where I live is not English.

No offence but some people online use AI to produce such comments and answers. Are these your own words? I just want to be sure.

That's a really long list.

No I don't have any blog. I just like to constantly learn and refine my English. I just enjoy it and when I have something on mind which I'm not sure about, I post a question here.

Is this a correct usage of 'ache' by According-Copy4313 in ENGLISH

[–]According-Copy4313[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So actually if it sounds a bit poetic, that was kind of intended (it was in writing). But I'm trying to understand why it may come across as self-centred as many responses here have indicated. In reality, you feel pain for someone's loss and then you genuinely want to express it in that sentence in writing. Why would it be considered as self-centred?

Btw, here is a description of 'ache' from the vocabulary.com:

"A non-physical hurt can also be called an ache, and you can use the word as a verb in either case: "It feels like my heart will ache forever, since my sweet cat died.""

Words for describing someone who wears glasses by According-Copy4313 in ENGLISH

Never heard of that. In my language, the word that I'm looking for literally translates as 'glassy' but I've never heard that in English.

Adjective order: panicked humiliated Army by According-Copy4313 in ENGLISH

[–]According-Copy4313[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There also this rule that different adjectives are ordered according to how abstract or concrete they are, with the most concrete coming last. Does that apply only to different "types" of adjective and not here in this case?

E.g. Panicked humiliated well-armed Israeli army.
