Synonyms of "Meaning" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between what is the meaning and what does it mean ?
A:
They mean exactly the same thing. "What does it mean?" is more common, but both phrases are used, and both sound natural and normal.
Q:

Q:
What is the difference between 'who' (not the meaning of "Who "in the sentence "Who you are.",I mean the another meaning of it.) and 'whose' and 'whom' ?
A:
"The girl who leapt through time." The word 'who' shows that the person who 'leapt through time' is 'the girl'. If you just said "The girl leapt through time" that would be past tense. However the girl who leapt through time would be her title or name. (I hope you understand) if you used "whose" it wouldnt make sense "the girl whose leapt through time" because 'whose' is a word which shows that the next part of the sentance belongs to 'the girl'. A sentance with whose in: "whose shoes are these?" (who do these shoes belong to) Lastly, whom has the same meaning of who (in the meaning of who you are talking about) it is not used as much because it sounds very formal. you normally read it in important documents or old stories for example. An example: "whom did he marry?" (Who did he marry?) Please ask if you have aby questions.

A:
Meaning its the translation in other language; sense its when something is illogical

Inclusive or means that you can have A or B, and you can also have both A and B.
Inclusive or means that you can have A or B, and you can also have both A and B.

A:
In English, both "I can do" and "I can do it" are grammatically correct, but their usage can depend on the context and the level of specificity you want to convey.
"I can do" is somewhat open-ended and might be used when the action or task being referred to is clear from the context or previous conversation. However, it can sound a bit incomplete or less specific.
"I can do it" is more precise and provides clarity by explicitly mentioning what can be done. Adding "it" makes the statement more definite and is often preferred for clear communication.
In native English usage, especially in everyday conversation, "I can do it" is commonly used to avoid ambiguity and clearly convey the intended meaning.

A:
"Way to X" is a casual way of saying "you did X really well". It is sometimes used positively to praise somebody for doing a good job, but it is also often used sarcastically or jokingly with negative things to call attention to an undesirable result of someone's actions. (the implication being that they did that thing so effectively it seems almost like they were trying to do it)
"bury the lead" means that you have some important information or something important to say, but instead of saying that part first, you start by talking about less important or irrelevant things, and only mention the really important part later. (The term comes from journalism, where somebody might "bury the lead" by, for example, be reporting some really important news, but they use a very boring headline and start the article talking about other things, so nobody realizes the article is actually about something really important.)
So, "way to bury the lead" is basically a way of saying "you should have said that more important part first".
