Q:
Qual é a diferença entre complaint e beef ?
A:
"Beef" is a colloquial term for "grudge." "Beef" and "complaint" are similar in meaning, however "beef" is only used in informal situations. Also, a person has a beef *with* someone, but a person has a complaint *about* or *regarding* something or someone. "Beef" also tends to be close to "grudge," whereas "complaint is more neutral. "Complaint" also implies a precise reason for the complaint, whereas "beef" can have a precise reason or be more vague. I don't think you can use "beef" to complain about things, only people.
"John has a beef with Mark." is similar to, "John has a complaint about Mark," but not quite the same, for example.
I don't think you can have a beef with things, so I can say, "I have a complaint regarding these jeans," but I can't say, "I have a beef with these jeans."

A:
"There have been complaints that the product becomes damaged easily." "There have been complaints that the product breaks easily." Use (damage) if certain parts of the product fall off, or stop working. Use "break" if it becomes a useless product. So an example of this would be an iPhone with a non-working power button, which is still useable VS an iPhone with a screen that renders it useless.
