关于Chair的意思和用法的提问

A: it means “[something is] over there, near the chairs”

A: 의자에서 내려라

chair = 의자
get off = 내려

A: A chair that rocks. Una silla que mece.

A: Not quite, it wouldn't specify 後ろ. So, 'don't tip your chair' could mean don't tip it forwards or sideways. In this situation, as chairs most easily tip back, we usually include 'back'. 'Don't tip your chair' sounds a bit odd to me, not because it's wrong, but because I expect to hear 'back'.

A: Yes, gettin' is short for getting.

A: "I sat in the chair."
"I like the blue chair."

A: She got up from the chair.
I am going to sit on the chair.
He bought a new chair.
The chair is very comfortable.

A: @kikka04
I have a few chairs in my kitchen.
We all sat down on our comfy chairs.
Chairs are a good invention, aren't they?

A: hi anyone there for chat with me

A: sitting in the chair is not correct way to say it, you're not inside the chair. sitting on the chair is the correct way.

A: I've sat on the chair refers to have sit in the past, you may have already stood up, while I'm sitting on the chair depicts that you ARE sitting at the moment. Thereis not a clear way to refer to the process of sitting in the chair, so I would say "I'm trying to sit on the chair"

A: “A” is used when you mention something for the first time without any additional information.
“The” is used when you mention something the second time or have additional information.

In this case you should say:”This is the chair which I use”

A: They're the same. "I sit in a chair" is more natural though.

A: These sentences are really similar but there is a small difference.

For A, he was already sitting in the chair at this moment and closes his eyes.

For B, it sounds more like he was about to sit down in his chair and was closing his eyes at the same moment.

So A, Already sitting and then closes his eyes.
B, Sitting and closing his eyes at the same time.

Does this make sense?

A: Are there any chairs?

A: now about the chair...

Sometimes the chair can be a person, but it is not a furniture. "The chair" is short for "chairman" which is the head person of a company.

When a person is called "the chair" it means they are the head of the company.

Please let me know if you need more explanation ☺️

A: Please (PUT) your chair back when you get up and leave. (AND MAKE SURE) the desk is clean and free of debris (TOO), thanks!

A: “That person who passed by behind us just now, isn’t he a famous singer?”

or

“Isn’t the person who just passed by behind us a famous singer?”

A: You can use OR not use 'some' in BOTH of them.

It can mean either "more than one", or, it can make the rest of the phrase more emphatic.

In the first one - 'Those are some nice chairs!' - since you said "those" I probably already know that there are more than one, so, it sounds emphatic, as if you are saying "Those are really nice chairs!" or "very nice chairs". just "Those are nice chairs" sounds perfectly fine also.

You can use it with singular things too: "That is some girlfriend you have!", it means either I really like her or I really don't like her. From context you would know which. "Donald Trump is some President!", it sounds OK and it is probably negative, unless I am a supporter.

In the second one, there is no "those" or other words to indicate that we are looking at specific movies, so "some" sounds like a quantity, it just means "more than one", like "unos" or "algunos". It is actually redundant because we know it's more than one because "movies" is plural. "I've seen some movies recently" means the same. With "some", it definitely doesn't sound emphatic, though.

If in doubt, "some" *usually* means quantity / unos / algunos.

A: Yes, the "r" is pronounced.

A: × ＊(
✓ ＊(This chair isn’t strong enough to stand on its own

A: × This chair isn't strong enough for the chair stand on.
✓ This chair isn't strong enough to stand on.

× (because it is break)
✓ (because it'll break)

A: If you are talking about a dentist chair, yes that is fine, you will be understood. You could also say "Can you tilt the chair further back?".

In other situations, that might be unclear. For example, if you said "Can you adjust the seat further back?" in a car, I would not understand. I would not understand if you wanted the seat to slide backwards, or if you would want it to tilt backwards more so it was not like an L.

A: Yeah that sounds correct to me, I can not think of a better way to say that.
