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

A: No, it just means he is annoying but people still like him.

A: @Kross9182: when we ask this it usually means asking them if they are dating or not, or you can replace the "a thing" in the sentence by " couple" .

A: "without trying [to think]", meaning that you could think of five guys without even trying to think hard. It implies that you know many people that would have preferred to see him dead. I'd translate it roughly as «Podría pensar en cinco tipos que lo hubieran preferido ver muerto que vivo sin intentar. Sin esforzarme, por lo menos.»

A: A girl that guys easily get along with. A girl who likes things that most guys like. Usually a boyish girl or a "tomboy".

A: I can't be sure out of context. Is he singing? Then it may mean that he is able to hit a wide range of musical notes.

A: "I never been" is most likely "I've never been" which is exactly the same as "I have never been."

examples:

I have never been fishing.
I've never been to Spain.

you will also sometimes hear people drop the "I have/I've" entirely when speaking.

Examples:

"Have you been there?"
"No, never been there."

Hope this helps!

A: A guy is a male.
But
Guys can refer to males or people.
*e.g this side of the shop sells guys' clothes and this side is for girls'
(Guys' = mens')
*e.g Could you guys please wait for me
(Guys = could refer to a group)

A: no, it’s not a rude word at all. The word “guy” typically means ‘man’ but when you are talking to a group of 2+ people, you can say “you guys”. It just makes it friendlier and there is no gender😊

For example:
• Do you guys fancy going out for lunch?
• Are you guys hungry?
• How are you guys?
• What do you guys want to do at the weekend?
• It’s nice to see you guys again!
• Have you guys watched this new film?

Another new term for you is ‘internet troll’ which is what @Kizukarigizu is. See this link for the full definition: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.urbandictionary.com/define.php%3fterm=Trolling&amp=true

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: "resplendent"＝"bright"

"redundant"＝"repetitive" （"redundant" is used more in writing）

"examination"＝"exam"

"gentleman"＝"man" ("gentleman" is more formal)

"ancient"＝"old"

"precious"＝"valuable"

"enormous"/"colossal"/"massive"＝"big"

A: "The guy said that he would do it."
^ Here, you're just telling about the guy and what he said

"The guy did say that he would do it."
^ Here, you're pointing out the fact that he actually said he would do something.


"Did that guy do what I asked him to?"
"He said he would."
^ This is a very casual response

"Did that guy do what I asked him to?"
"He did say he would."
^ It sounds like you were suspicious about him not doing what he was supposed to.
-Adding the 'did' makes it sound like you're using the sentence as proof for something.

A: Yes, in the examples you gave, those sentences have different meanings with one being a recommendation and the other just asking for information. I see the first example you gave as having the same meaning because it doesn't seem normal to recommend someone to think something about a person's personality. I'll give you one more example where the 2 sentences would have the same meaning and one example where they have different meanings and I'll try to use the verb 'think' in both examples.
Example 1 (same meaning): Why don't you think my idea is good? Why do you not think my idea is good? (both of these statements are asking for information. They're not really making a recommendation.
Example 2: Why don't you think about applying to a different university? (This sentence could be understood as giving a recommendation or just as asking for someone's opinion).
Why do you not think about applying to another university? (This question is just asking for information, but not really giving a recommendation).
Ok. I hope that helps. :)

A: Boy= Usually a young male under 18 years old
Guy= A male but they can be young or old.

A: "I'm looking to join you guys" = "I want to join you guys"

"I'm looking forward to joining you guys" =
"I'm glad you've allowed me to join you, and I will soon"

A: Good guys used like it is here means allies. You usually only see this use in action movies where there are good guys (allies to the heroes) and bad guys (people helping the villians). This is just because there's not much use for it in daily life. It's not very often that I get into a gun fight and have to tell the good guys from the bad.

Homies is a very casual word that actually is used outside of movies pretty commonly. Generally it means friends.

The difference between these two depends on the context of the movie.

A: yea that's right

A: the correct answer is "that" because the sentence is phrased the way it is. if it were phrased "did you really understand all OF ____ he said?", "what" would be the right answer. do not worry! most people will say "did you really understand all OF what he said?" so "what" will be correct then!

A: Both are commonly used but “go to the doctor” is most popular

A: Yes, tell him to "get a life"

A: She thinks she looks pretty so she is standing there to get a good picture for her instagram ☺️

A: the first one is correct and natural.

take responsibility= you choose to be responsible but you can always change and say no after.

✓ This damn virus came through to the brain and shut down the smell area (or how does it work?). [it’s not your brain- it’s through the cells in your nose that detect smell (olfactory epithelium) and send it to your brain… link below]

Sounds like a rough month indeed. Feel better. It’s not the brain that’s affected as much as nose and protein expression in certain cells (I’m lazy I didn’t read the whole article below)



FYI, link is an academic paper from Harvard so it may be hard to read:

‘olfactory epithelium—a specialized tissue in the roof of the nasal cavity responsible for odor detection that houses olfactory sensory neurons and a variety of supporting cells.’

Technically nothing wrong with the sentence, but there is better word choices.
