Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Equivalent"

A: Something that is roughly the same as something else. For example, recipes might say “Add 1 cup of canola oil or equivalent.” It means to add canola oil or something very similar, like another kind of vegetable oil that will achieve the same purpose.

A: I’m not too sure as I haven’t studied maths to a level where I learned about equivalent representation, but here is what I found from a chapter of an advanced maths book:

“Two matrix representations {D(g)} , {D′(g)} of the same dimension are called
equivalent if and only if there exist a matrix S, d × d, non–singular, such that:

∀g ∈ G,D’(g) = SD(g)S^-1

Note that the same matrix S has to connect the matrices D(g) and D′(g) for all the elements of G. The two representations correspond to the same realization of the group structure seen in two different bases. The matrix S is the matrix that implements the transformation from one basis to the other.”

If this is not what you’re looking for, I’m afraid I won’t be of much help...

A: From what I can infer from this, the person was probably comparing two equations that would've resulted in the same answer.
However, one of them might have been too complicated/indirect and would seem rather silly if you chose to use that equation. The equation could also be so obvious that it is deemed 'silly'.

Perhaps a brief example might be:
If x=1, find the value of 2x.
Instead of multiplying the given equation by 2, the guy finds 5x and divides it by 2.5. Both will give you the same answer (2x=2) but the second equation would be rather silly to use. :)

A: Equal, at the same level

A: equal to

A: •These rules define what conduct is accepted (indicate/specify)
•He defines my responsibilities clearly (specify)
•Society is a defining feature of humanity (identify)
•The boundaries are currently undefined (designate, specify)

I hope that helps

A: We all get paid an equivalent amount.
2+2 is equivalent to 3+1.
A meter and a yard are not quite equivalent.

A: The total of my money is equivalent to bill gate's dog's net worth

You wanna take the equivalent weight of 3 bunnies and hold it on your head for the equivalent amount of time as Tom's time. If you do this you will get the equivalent amount of 3 million dollars in chocolate bars.

If you can say "equal to" you can say "equivalent"
They're /equivalent/ 😊

A: "Taking care of her children all day is equivalent to a full time office job!"

"Doing laundry and chores together is not equivalent to spending quality time together."

A: They both mean "equal; the same as," but we usually use "equivalent TO" when we are comparing things that don't appear the same, and we usually use "equivalent" when comparing *amounts* of something.

- Breathing this much smog is equivalent to smoking 10 cigarettes per day.
- Laying in a tanning bed for an hour is equivalent to laying in the sun for 3 hours.
- That Reike massage was equivalent to 12 elephants walking across my back! Ouch!

- You have more ice cream than I do!
--- They look equivalent to ME!

- To make a White Russian drink, use equivalent amounts of cream, vodka, and Kahluah.

A: The latter is referring to the specific expression, which doesn't work, since there's no expression.

A: I think the only difference is in how the sentence is phrased.
Something is THE equivalent OF something else.
or
Something is equivalent TO something else.
The last one excludes "the"
These seem interchangeable in any situation I can think of, it's just the phrasing that is different.

A: Well, after researching this word, it does indeed appear to be a hard one to translate into English. If I am correct, then интеллигенция means either 1: "those in society who have jobs that require significant brainpower and requires them to be highly intelligent, and highly educated such as doctors, scientists and writers". or 2: "simply those in society who are highly intelligent and well educated, regardless of if they have a job or not." Either way, this kind of sounds like it is a "class system" like how we have the working class, middle class, and upper class. But instead of the class being based on money and power, it is a class based on intelligence. Is this accurate? if so, what are the other classes called for the less intelligent people? If this is accurate, then the closest I can think of is "white collar." This term refers to those who work in a "professional environment", as opposed to "blue collar," which is those who work manual labour jobs. But white collar refers to those jobs that would usually require you to wear a suit (hence white collar) such as businessmen, financial advisors, attorneys, salespeople etc and more so implies that they would be higher paid than a blue collar worker so it's to do with money really and not intelligence. "Upper class" is kind of close, but again, it is to do with money and power (and status) more than intelligence, although on average, members of the upper class will be significantly more educated than the rest of us.

It appears there really is no word even close to expressing the idea that интеллигенция does. Maybe we could describe it in a sentence. "Those in society with the most mentally challenging/demanding jobs" if my first definition was correct. Or "the most highly intellectual stratum of society" if the second definition is more fitting.

A: Where did you see "soup'n'sweet"? I have never seen that before.

Perhaps it is specific to a restaurant?
Similar to how a "Big Mac" is specific to McDonald's

A: Sorry for my confusing answer!!
Lactose-free milk is available at the grocery store, usually "lactaid" brand. Some coffee shops may use it, It just seems that plant-based options have become more popular. I don't know for sure which ones will have real lactose-free milk.
1 or 2 percent milk will still have lactose, i think it only has less fat, not less sugar (lactose).

A: "later" ou "in a couple of minutes (ca veut dire "dans quelque minutes)"

A: Yes! We say "great/good/perfect timing!" You can pick what word to use. You can also say "bad timing" for things that happen at the same time but make things worse as a result. I don't know if you can use "ça tombe à pique" like that.

Mais oui en tous cas "good timing!" est la même idée. J'ai demandé la même question à l'envers quand j'étais à Paris

A: I’m not sure how to explain, since English grammar is really weird. Here’s some example sentences, maybe that will help.
Ex:
The soda is for the party.

It’s the way we say thank you here.

The book is for you.

It’s the best idea we have.

A: These adjectives are mostly the same with slightly different nuances.

"Equal" means two things have the same value/amount.
"These two students are of equal merit."

"Equivalent" is used to describe two things that have the same function/purpose/amount for two different scenarios
"The prime minister of the UK is equivalent to the president of the US."

A: 1. Someone who loves classical music
2. I like classic music
3. Go see another country

A: Aide meaning assistant, potentially he was either helping print copies of photographs or the newspaper itself. Hope that helps.
