Qual é a diferença entre minimum e lowest ?
A:
Minimum is the lowest an amount can go. There is no negotiating. It is an absolute stop.

Low is harder to explain because it has so many meanings depending on how it’s used.
Ex: low fan setting

Is it correct to say ‘10 years of a minimum’? Or when should I put the amount of time before a noun like ‘10 years of experience’, and when not?
A:
He’s not sentenced to ‘a minimum’ so you wouldn’t put that at the end. Since ‘a minimum’ is describing/qualifying the ‘10 years in prison’ it goes before, just like if you were to say
About 10 years
Just under 10 years
A little more than 10 years
The maximum of 10 years (if that’s the highest sentence he could possibly get and he got it)
Because they’re all qualifying the amount of time, they come first
In the second sentence ‘10 years’ is describing/quantifying the ‘experience’, so ‘10 years’ comes first
About 10 years
Just under 10 years
A little more than 10 years
The maximum of 10 years (if that’s the highest sentence he could possibly get and he got it)
