Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "B"

A: A is not bigger than B. It is the same size (probably, or it could be smaller). "No bigger" means "not any bigger."

A: A - To hit a new low means to break the record for lowness - 인적 저급함의 기록을 깨다
B - The coffee to go means coffee which you order and eat outside of the cafe - 당신이 카페 커피를 주문해고 밖에서 먹는 커피
C - To take one down is to defeat stop or kill someone - 물리치다/말리다/죽이다

A: It means A has betrayed B.

But the "is" instead of "has" makes it sound more literal. If it's literal the meaning would be, A's head is turned and they are touching B.

A: Yes if we say something is “OK” it means it’s not bad and it’s not great, it’s just alright, “so so” is right 👏🏻

A: @skylcool: yeah sure! I think "even though" is more natural than "even if." You could put "although" or "even though" at the front of the sentence like this:

"Although I really wanted to sleep in today, I have to go to work."

"Even though I wanted to go out tonight, I can't because I have to do my homework."
-I think this one has the nuance of 나가고싶어도, 숙제하야해서 못 나가 or sth like that. Idk if it sounds natural in Korean😆

A: "His success perhaps is attributable to a single event that stemmed from youthful brashness and vigorous outspokenness." - The Cultural History of Marlborough, Virginia, C. Malcolm Watkins (Dictionary.reference.com)

A: Which kind of "A is of B" do you want? There are many!

Time is of the essence.
I am of the opinion that Nelson is a fine candidate.
She is of age.
Lies are of the devil.
Water is of the same consistency as alcohol.
If it is of your will, I will do it.
This is of the utmost importance.
His wares are of great quality.
Do not worry, the injury is of no import.

Many of the "A is of B" indicate that A has the qualities of B.
But sometimes it means, "A originates from B". And then, there
are idioms such as, "of age", which means, "adult".

A: If A and B are the same, you would be talking about one thing, so the first example would almost be correct. "Is" should be "Are" because you are naming two subjects.

Are A and B the same thing?

A: A、BはそれぞれCとDです。
(AはC、BはD)

「AとB」はCとDそれぞれです。
(AとBがワンセットで、CでありDでもある)

A: it has the sam meaning but I think it's better to add "one" after "wich"

A: I think most native speakers would use “discriminate” to describe the unfair treatment of people belonging to a group (age, sex, race, sexual preference).
You are correct tho, it is a synonym for differentiate and distinguish, it just isn’t common to hear it used like that. It’s more commonly used like this:

“I think they didn’t want to promote me to a manager role because I’m the only woman on the team. I’m use to being discriminated against, but it still hurts...”

A: Here "What's she doing" has the same meaning as "What does she do for a living / what is her job"

In another context you could see a lady doing some weird dance and ask
"What's she doing" and someone might reply
"it seems like she is dancing"

So the sentence doesn't always have the same meaning. It depends on the situation. Does that help?

A:
A: Why is it locked?
B: Because… that's a secret base … hehe, like when an earthquake happens, things in there would be coming out. and if not, you'll take the trouble of cleaning 'em up right?
I locked it so it won't open.
A: Do you have that much stuff in there? Why don't you just throw 'em away?
B: You don't know me at all! I keep 'em cuz I need 'em!
A: Well, that's how things are pilling up, you know? If you don't use it, you better throw it away.
B: you've regreted throwing things away. Haven't you?? After all, the day you need them would be coming up. And then you'll definitely say like, "oh man, I shouldn't have threw 'em away…"
A: Do you know what it is called? It's just a quibble!

A: @meigen916
It say

A. Isfahan is half of the world.

A: A: What did you do for Christmas?

A:
ah, I see
A: how much does this come with?
B: three portions
A: Are you sure that wouldn't be too much food for two?
B: It should be fine for 2 people.

though, this kind of conversation would be rare in english in the US. our restaurants don't measure things in "portions" and we don't typically share food here. usually, an entrée is a meal for one person.

we might ask "is it big?" or "I'm really hungry, do you think this will be enough?" to find out how much food comes in the order.

A: × B: Not much.
✓ B: Not really.

You can also say "not too loud", but "not really" is the most common/natural wording.

A: It's usually just used in fairly formal situations but just a few days ago at a casual meeting I was attending under some trees, the person running our meeting said "you have the floor," so it actually can be used anywhere. Someone at the meeting jokingly responded: "Don't you mean you have the ground?" :)

A: × A: What made you learning English?
✓ A: What motivated you learn English?

× B: Ahh, my sister encouraged me to learn English.
✓ B: Ahh, my sister encouraged me.

× B: She'll move out to the US.
✓ B: She'll move to the US.

× We very close together.
✓ We are very close,

× So I have to go to the US to meet her after her moving out to the US.
✓ so I have to go to the US to meet her after she moves.

A: 👍

A: × A: Shall we go out?
✓ A: Should we go out?

Most people say “should” because “shall” sounds too formal and a little old.

Hope this helps! :)
