  • David Johansson Concerns? about 1 year ago

    David Minugh Possible, but "doubts" is far more common. Also, "concerns" is more about specific reservations than a general skepticism about sth. about 1 year ago

  • David Johansson Pesticide? about 1 year ago

    David Minugh "Pesticide" is a superordinate term for poisons targeting insects (insecticides), weeds (herbicides), fungi (fungicides), etc. It is thus less specific than insecticide. about 1 year ago

  • Myung Jin Kim Repellant? about 1 year ago

  • Erik Dahlström Why not "obstacle"? about 1 year ago

  • Myung Jin Kim Haha. I didn't know the Department of English was into Harry Potter! Hilarious. about 1 year ago

  • ling guo Mr.Minugh, the answers here confused me a bit. Is "lustiga" here means funny (amusing) or strange (odd)? Or may be it means "charming" which means "it is a great idea that sounds so wonderful"? Thank you very much! about 1 year ago

  • ling guo Will "mature" work here? Thanks a lot! about 1 year ago

    David Minugh "Mature" is possible, but not as likely, since "ripen" is particularly associated with fruit, nuts, etc. about 1 year ago

  • ling guo Can we use "journey" here? If we use "hike" or "walk", it suggests "on foot", so I think the meaning repeats. Am I right? Many thanks! about 1 year ago

    David Minugh "Journey" is fine. "Hike" is oddly enough not as repetitive as "walk" would be. "Trek" is the unusual word, but it's less specific about how you get there, even if it usually is "on foot". about 1 year ago

  • Luis Perez Can I use the term throw-away diapers instead of disposable? about 1 year ago

    David Minugh We'd understand it, but that's not the term people use. about 1 year ago

  • David Minugh "Workforce", "labour" and "manpower" are all relatively abstract ways of talking about people (note that the sentence is in the singular!), but they are somewhat different. "Workforce" calls up the idea of a lot of people as individuals, whille "manpower" focuses on them as a resource, not as people. "Labour" as people is primarily as aa group, the opposite to"management" or "the owners"; Labour is of course also a political party in e.g. Great Britain. Only "workforce" normally takes the definite article and can be used about a group of people. about 1 year ago
