• why do we use 'lo' before some adjectives?

  I think the challenge is to find two sentences that differ only in that one says lo rojo and the other says el rojo or la rojo. With some help from linguee.com, I think the following will work. Imagine someone is looking at a computer screen. Compare. Source: 11 months ago

• Can't help but feel descouraged because English is not my native language.

  For some reason, I find linguee.com too confusing. And normally doesn't have the expression I am looking for (I set out with one in mind that I kind of know what is but not sure). Source: over 1 year ago

• Correcting your own writing

  You can use context.reverso.net or linguee.com for that, if you can't find any native speakers willing to correct you. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ressources in two languages

  Linguee.com has a dictionary lookup engine which will provide not just the translation of the word you enter into the target language, but also provide a list of sources, with links to the same document in both the source language and the target language. Could be a very useful tool for finding bilingual documents like you are looking for. Source: over 1 year ago

• I don't know which is worse

  When you use the dictionary in English, as I tell to anyone learning English, the best dictionary is not a traditional dictionary, but is wiktionary.org, which itself includes the same definitions as the ones you've linked, but additionally contains "usage notes" that point out how rare and niche the archaic use of "America" to refer to a geographical continent is. It only comes up when you are talking about... Source: 11 months ago

• What is the best translator for Russian?

  For single words just use a dictionary. wiktionary.org works most of the time and usually is very informative. Source: 11 months ago

• is there a website that shows detailed structure of the word like suffix, roots or case endings?

  Wiktionary.org is very good if you can read Finnish well enough. I don't expect English wiktionary to have a lot of content. Source: 11 months ago

• is the b silent in subtle? How do I pronounce it?

  Two good resources to check for accurate pronunciation are wiktionary.org and forvo.com for a variety of voice recordings for words. Source: 12 months ago

• Is my English understandable?

  For words, it helps a lot to look them up on wiktionary.org or dictionary.com and read the IPA. For example, "complicated" is a word which stresses the 1st syllable, but you've put the stress on the 3rd. Generally, the stress stays on the same part of the word as the root word (COM-pli-cate), and adding -ed or -ing doesn't change it. e.g. MO-ti-vate, MO-tivating, MO-tivated. Source: 12 months ago
