When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

cuidador
| No thanks. That's not the word I'm looking for. That would definitely work for Brazilian PT though. |
| Neste contexto, não poderá ser assistente ou auxiliar? Não gosto de "cuidador". |

: Explanation :-)? I think the asker and this question deserve more than a smiley. /When you ask questions you ask for decent explanations. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

why don't you mind your own business for a change or perhaps, since you are such a smart ass, provide the explanation youself. I never waste my time forcefeeding askers . They can do a bit of further research themselves, and I am sure they will.
