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.

La diminuzione della percentuale di fumatori si riferisce alla fascia di età 18-24 anni:
diminuzione del 46% ( quasi la metà) -- dal 21.6% nel 2011 a 11.7% nel 2016.
La proporzione tra 21,6% e 11,7% è infatti il 46% (quasi la metà).

Io l'ho inteso in questo modo: passare da quasi il 22% a circa il 12% equivale quasi alla metà, ovvero quasi il 50% in meno :) Come a dire, se fosse passato dal 24 al 12 sarebbe diminuito del 50%, ma passando da 21.6 a 11.7 corrisponde al 46% :)
Note from asker:
ma non capisco il senso rispetto al resto del segmento. tu lo capisci?
