difference between consumer and customer

consumer - (хэрэглэгч)
costumer - (худалдан авагч)

Difference Between Customer & Consumer


  • The basic difference between consumer & Customer is very small.
    The one who buys is a customer & the one who uses the product is the consumer.

    Who should be the target for a company a customer or a consumer ??

difference between what exactly or exactly what

what exactly - (here exactly does not focus on 'what', but focus on the word after 'exactly')
exactly what - (here exactly focus on 'what')

exactly
1 used to emphasize that a number, amount, or piece of information is or should be completely correct in every detail:
It's exactly half past five.
The figures may not be exactly right, but they're close enough.
exactly where/what/when etc
I can't remember exactly what she said.
It's a tragic situation and no one will ever know exactly what happened.
why/what/where etc exactly...?
Where exactly did you stay in Portugal?

“What exactly” vs. “Exactly what”


  • First of all, they are basically the same thing thing. However, I think there are some subtle differences in how they are used.
    The first is more common and is probably preferred in most cases. It simply means "Tell me what that book is about, and be specific and accurate."
    If someone decided to use the second phrasing, they would be putting more emphasis on the word "what" since what is being modified by the phrase 'exactly.' The phrase would probably come after the two people had been talking about the book for at least a sentence or two.
    Because we are emphasizing the word "what", we just want to know very strongly what it's about!
    What this would mean is "I'm really confused or unclear about what this book is about, so please explain!"
    You can tell that "exactly" is emphasized in the first sentence because 'what' modifies it. So what we care about here is an exact definition.
    You can tell that "what" is emphasized in the second sentence because "exactly" modifies it. So what we care about is getting an answer.

difference between slow down and slow up

slow down - ()
slow up - ()


slow down v. slow up


  • Slow down is much, much more commonly used. You might slow down so someone can catch up to you, though.

  • Where I live, people almost invariably say "slow down" rather than "slow up."

  • Slow down is common in many circumstances in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S.
    It is used to ask someone to drive more slowly, walk more slowly, or speak more slowly.

    I remember hearing "slow up" more when I was a child, decades ago. It was usually
    said by a passenger to a driver, or by one kid on a bike to another.

    I'm surprised at the regional variations in AE. I shouldn't be, but I am.

difference between improve and enhance

enhance - (нэмж сайжруулах) Enhance means to make sth look better by increasing its value or beauty.
improve - (сайжруулах)Improve means to become or make sth better




what's the difference between 'improve' and 'enhance'?

(is 'improve' used in real life more than 'enhance'? I guess 'enhance' has more formal meaning. is that right? thanks to put up with my mumble jumble.)


  • Improve means to become or make sth better but Enhance means to make sth look better by increasing its value or beauty.

  • "Improve" means to increase the level of quality.

    "Enhance" means to take one element and lift it to a greater degree (the old meaning was simply "to make higher").

    You can see there may be some overlap, however "improve" can only be used in positive situations. To illustrate:

    "My bad mood was improved by her actions." = you felt better.
    "My bad mood was enhanced by her actions." = you felt worse.
