But I'm not sure what crash is in this context. "Crash"の意味は分からない

A: @madtacher That would be a great example. Another one would be like a guy stares at a girl so she tells her friend, "That guy is freaking me out."

Don't get the phrase "To freak somebody out" with "to freak out" though because the second one means to go crazy or act irrational.

A: It is slang, the meaning of the sentence is "He is trying to date/flirt with you" or "He is trying to make you his girlfriend/boyfriend". It can vary a bit but the overall meaning is the same.

A: Neither one really works, since they are more naturally used to describe emotional difficulty. In the situation you are describing, I might say “exhausting” or “tiring”. If you absolutely have to use either long or hard... I would pick hard. But, again, it’s not very natural.

A: Working very hard is pushing it to the limits. Being driven to the limits means that you are being tested or you are very stressed out and are about to break or snap

A: Unfortunately it's a bit more complicated >_<. If Person B says "Yes, I really don't like them", it would still mean that they really don't like them.

BUT if the following conversation happens:

Person A: You don't like oranges, do you?
Person B: Yes, I do.

Here, Person B disagrees and says that in fact, they do like oranges.

The way to understand this is the following:

Here:
Person A: You don't like oranges, do you?
Person B: No, I really don't like them.

- Person A is asking a negative question "you don't, do you"
- Person B needs to reply with either a negative answer "no", or with a "yes" (but then they would usually add "I don't" to make it a reply to a negative question)

Here, on the other hand:
Person A: You don't like oranges, do you?
Person B: Yes, I do.

- Person A asks a negative question
- Person B answers positively (doesn't add "I don't" to make it negative), thus it makes it the opposite of what Person A said. So he's disagreeing.

You can imagine it as if Person B omitted part of the answer (the full one being "yes, **in fact**, I do").

A: You must do this(must usually used to give an order or a command). I must do my homework(basically means l have to do it but must implies that you really have to do it). Could you tell me the answer to the question (could and can basically means the same thing except could it is a more polite way better to use if you don't know the person you're talking to that well). Should I do my homework or should I not
(Also you could say) I should do my homework. Can you shut up. May I go to the bathroom or may I be excused (may is more like when you're asking a person if can do something you can still use can in my last 2 examples but may is more polite.

A: I am studying for my test.
The new semester is starting.
I will be staying home tonight.

A: They are the same.

A: @Echo80s they both mean the same thing, but “why don’t you like it” is a shorter more natural way of saying it, but the other one works as well.

A: We wouldn't say "can you find out my pen".

A: Off the top of my head, "X being Y" has two uses:

(1) It emphasizes that X=Y. This is used when there might be misunderstandings, or when the speaker forgot to say something.
"When I say "fish" I mean "you." I'm not the fish."

(2) It connects sentences. "X being Y, Z" can mean "Because X is Y, Z" or "X is Y, so Z."
"You are the fish, so I am not the fish."

This looks like (1). 😊

A: "How do you do?" is more formal. I haven't really heard anyone use it nowadays.
"How are you?" on the other hand, is casual. You can use in a conversation with anybody.

A: Y'all, whose fault do you think that is?

Hey, guys, whose fault do you think that is?

Here’s my “naturalised“ version of what you have written –

I know we don’t talk much, but I think you’re a cool guy. Respect, as always – and Happy Birthday! Enjoy!

What do you think?

A: Omitting "to be" can give a more confrontational, assertive sense, due perhaps to the staccato feel of consecutive accented words. For example:

"What you gapin' at?"

feels more confrontational than:

"What are you looking at?"

You might be interested in Ebionics, a vernacular without "to be", and with other departures from conventional English:
