Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Lara Barnett, philgoddard, Rob Grayson

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.

Again ... a "non-logged-in-visitor".

They usually give no context to speak of.

And practically NEVER EVER give any signs of life after asking a question.

BTW the "32 open questions" is probably the total of all questions by "non-logged-in-visitors" lumped all together.

"Ain't broken, no need to fix it" doesn't seem to apply to questions by "non-logged-in-visitors".


Conor McAuley Jun 11, 2021:
Souhir, could you close at least some of your open questions please?

People are kind enough to provide you with free help.
AllegroTrans Jun 11, 2021:
Asker Please provide the sentence containing this and the context
Helen Shiner Jun 11, 2021:
Without context you are just asking us to be a dictionary, which you can consult yourself. That is not the purpose of Kudoz. It asks you to provide the surrounding context and other details about the text, so that we can help with the specific nuance of the term in one specific case.
Lara Barnett Jun 11, 2021:
@ Souhir I think more context is needed. As Conor says, there are many possibilities, of which we cannot be sure which one until we know the surrounding text.

French term (edited): s'emerveiller

to be in awe

This needs to be adapted to the full sentence.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Conor McAuley : I confirm that. / In the sense that it is incomplete and that it doesn't allow for various contexts, yes, I am sorry, it is wrong. I note that the Asker has 32 open questions.

One of the 'base' meanings, whose applicability is however entirely dependent on context
