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.

сидеть (самому) vs. садить (другого)

sit - непереходный глагол.
seat - переходный глагол.

То есть sit - это когда Вы сами сидите, а seat - когда Вы кого-то сажаете.

Пример:
"I seated the girl next to her mother".

seat = make someone sit

Но есть ещё один момент. Sit - это когда Вы находитесь в сидячем положении (сидите). А seat означает переход из стоячего положения в сидячее (аналог русского "посадить", "усадить").

Поэтому если кто-то садится, то либо он либо "seats himself", либо "sits down".

"Also note that "seated herself" indicates a change, that at first she was not seated/sitting at the desk but later she was. In the right context, "sat" can also be used to express such a change, but it more often only means "was seated/sitting". "Sat down" is another option that indicates a change".

Когда Вы сами сидите - это sit. Когда Вы садите другого - это seat.
