difference between murder and kill

What is the difference in meaning between "kill" and "murder"?

• To kill something is to end its life in a positive or negative way/reason. 
  For example you can kill an animal to end its suffering. Or you could kill an animal for sport or because it is a nuisance. 
  
  To murder is the same as To kill but you can never murder something in a nice way. Murder is allways seen as negative/bad. 
  
  Hope that made some sense to you :S

Difference between "other" and "another"

                ( I have a problem when I use other and another. What's the difference?)

Hi Nelson, This is a good question. Many people have difficulty with these two words but luckily the explanation is rather simple.

Other = difference
Another = additional.

Examples in Context:

I would like another glass of water because I drank mine already. I am requesting an additional glass of water.

Imagine you want to buy a blue towel so the assistant picks up a light blue towel but you don't want the light blue towel. You want the otherdark blue towel. (There are choices and you don't want one, you want the other one).

Imagine you are eating a piece of cake at a new restaurant. It isn't very good so you say, "The cake at the other restaurant is better than here".

You want to buy fish and you are comparing prices at the market. The first kiosk is charging 4Euro a kilo but you want to see more. So you could say, "Let's go to another kiosk to compare the prices".

At the second kiosk they are charging 6Euro a kilo. So then you could say, "The fish is cheaper at the other kiosk".

difference between last and continue

difference between last and continue

• The specific difference is on the focus point of the measurement of time.
  The focus point of last is the ending point. I don't think it necessarily means that you want it to be over. Sometimes I wonder how long my life will last and I love my life. My focus is still on the end of the line when I say that sentence. 
  The focus point of continue is the entire time of the action. To continue is to maintain the same action. To last is to survive. How long will this message continue? It will continue for 4 more lines. How long will this message last? FOREVER!!! It will be spammed across the internets for eternity and be poorly translated into thousands of languages until humanity believes it's very survival after death depends on it!!! So sayeth the muther ##$"# LORD. Amen.

difference between on my own and my self and alone

 by myself, on my own, myself

I will do it myself = 'I will do it, no-one else will.'
I will do it by myself = 'I will do it, I don't need any help.'
I will do it on my own = 'I will do it, I don't need any help.'
I found the above from a closed thread(holboo) talking about the differences between the underlined parts.

If that's the case, does it mean by myself and on my own are in the same meaning?

Thank you.

difference between come and arrive and go

come      - ирэх, очих 
arrive      - ирэх
go           - явах

come 

•  Generally speaking, we use "come" when taking about the place where we are right now. for example: I came to this class because i want to learn how to play the piano ( Right now, i am at the class)  --- би төгөлдөр хуур тоглохын хүссэн учраас би энэ хичээл рүү ирсэн (энэ нь яг одоо байгаа газартаа тэндээс ирсэн гэсэн санааг гаргаж байгаа гэсэн үг)

difference between indicate, show , and reveal

indicate         -         гэрчлэх
show            -          үзүүлэх, харуулах
reveal           -          дэлгэх

To reveal, to show, to indicate---shades of difference in meaning

Constructions like ‘the data reveal that’, ‘Table 1 shows that’, or ‘Figure 2 indicates that’ are common enough in research papers—and all are commonly used to connect a source (data, a table, a figure, etc.) to a statement supported by that source; however, the three verbs are not exactly synonyms but differ subtly in meaning.

‘Show’ is perhaps the plainest(илэрхий) of the three. Use it when the statement obviously(илт) follows from the source, as in ‘Table 1 shows that of the six months, December was the coldest.’ A glance at the source is all that is needed to know the truth of the statement.

‘Reveal’, on the other hand, means that the conclusion is not obvious but requires some thinking on the part of the reader—as it did on the part of the writer. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines ‘reveal’ as ‘make (previously unknown or secret information) known to others’. Therefore, use ‘reveal’ to convey that it took some analysis or interpretation of the data to arrive at the conclusion.

‘Indicate’ is similar to ‘show’ but introduces a note of uncertainty(эргэлзсэн): that the data leads you to suspect(сэжигтэн) something but you can't be sure. Use ‘indicate’ when you want to avoid a definitive(эцсийн) statement. However, do not use the word ‘indicate’ too often; if you do, your findings may be considered too tentative(тандсан) for publication.

Difference between "Hold On" & "Wait"?

• Best Answer - Chosen by Voting

  When used as a command, there is no difference. But when used in other contexts(хам утга), there is a difference. For example, "There was a long wait to get my lunch." But you would not say, "There was a long hold on to get my lunch."
  "Hold on" may also be used as an action such as holding on to something. "I need to hold on to this." or "He is holding on to that paper."

Difference Between Drug and Medicine

Did you know-Difference between Drug and Medicine

Difference Between Drug and Medicine

From chemistry point of view, there is no distinction between the terms drugs and medicines, i.e., all drugs are medicines and all medicines are drugs. However, our society and law make a clear-cut distinction between these two terms as follow:

A medicine is a chemical substance(бодис) which cures(эдгээх) the disease(өвчин), is safe to use, has negligible(өчүүхэн) toxicity(хортой байдал) and does not cause addiction(дон). In contrast(харьцуулахад), a drug is a chemical substance(бодис) which also cures(эдгээх) the disease but is habit(зуршил) forming(үүсгэлт), causes addiction and has serious side effects (side effect - харш нөлөө)

difference between look at and take a look at

What is the difference between "look at" and "take a look at"?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Well, it's analogous to the difference between "dump" and "take a dump". }:-D > (emoticon for a devilish grin)

Seriously, though, "look at" does not focus on the time or effort required for the look, but "take a look at" would give some slight emphasis on the time or effort involved in the looking. However, the construction "take a look at" is perhaps less formal, and should perhaps be avoided in your doctoral thesis.

Source(s):

My own personal observations of common useage. Nothing more.

Other Answer

hey mean the same thing, basically
although it seems that "take a look at "
implies a bit of a closer inspection,

Other Answer

They mean more or less the same.

You might say "look at that girl over there" but "take a look at this book" - using "take a look" when referring to something closer, and which you want the person to examine more carefully.

difference between have a look and take a look

What is the difference between 'take a look' and 'have a look' in English?

answer:

There is no fundamental difference in meaning, but 'take a look' can have a very slightly more informal/casual usage than 'have a look'. 

Examples: 

1. Patient to doctor: "Would you have a look at my throat, please Doctor? It's been sore for over a week now."
2. School friend to school friend: "Hey! Take a look at that new teacher's car!" 

difference between sick and ill

SICK and ILL

Both of these words are most commonly used as adjectives, as in:

I feel sick.

Ed had to leave school early because he was ill.

In American English, these two words have more or less the same meaning – they refer to a feeling of being unwell, whatever the problem might be. On the other hand, in British English, they have more distinct (ялгаатай ) meanings. Sick most commonly refers to feeling as if you are going to vomit (бөөлжис ), as in:

I think I’m going to be sick.

…while ill refers to any other feeling of being unwell. However, there are some phrases which are commonly used where sick has a more general meaning. For example:

I’ve been off sick for ten days – meaning I haven’t been to work/school for ten days because I’ve been feeling unwell.

Sick can also be used as a noun to refer to vomit. For example:

If you have children, you can be sure that you will have to clear up some sick at least once during their childhood.

difference between next and following

hi,

thank you for your helpI would like to know if there is a difference in meaning between the next and the following like in:the following chapter/ the next chapter; the next month/ the following month.

• Grammar Geek:
  When you use "the" there's no difference.
  
  The difference would be using "next" without the "the."
  
  If I say "next month" I mean August. However, I can be talking about something that will happen in September, and then say "the next month" or "the following month" to mean October, and those to expressions mean the same thing.

is there any difference between "next", "following" and ''subsequent'?

• Yes:
  
  • Next means the one that comes after, like a train, a show, an act in a play, a step in a process, an opportunity;
  • Following refers to the next one after a specific time, place or physical marker: "We arrived on the 3pm train, and my brother arrived on the following train." [the train after the 3pm train specifically]. "Her father came from the war in 1963 and died the following year." [the year after 1963].
  • Following also introduces text or speech or a list: "Read the following paragraph" "Answer the following questions" "He told me the following: ... " "Please read the following books: ..."
  • Subsequent means the one or the ones that follow or result from something: "You should study my response and all subsequent responses from native speakers." [= all the responses that follow mine]

difference between skip and miss

Hi,

Because I got up late, I missed breakfast.
Because I got up late, I skipped breakfast.
What is the difference between 'miss' and 'skip' here?

Thanks a lot.

• Because I got up late, I missed breakfast. You missed it, not by choice, by fact - you woke up too late.
  Because I got up late, I skipped breakfast. You decided not to have breakfast.

Difference between "miss" and "skip"?

I was practicing writing in English and I tried to write

As a result, I skipped my morning classes.

but I know I can use "missed" instead of "skipped"

and now I wonder the difference between two.

• Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

  Using "skipped" would suggest that you purposely missed your classes. That may not be the case, but that's how most people would understand it. "Missed" could mean that you weren't there for any number of reasons, like you were busy, sick, or your car broke down. Hope I helped!

difference between true and truth

• true can be used as adj.,adv. and n.  like Tell the truth

difference between complete and finish

• There is no difference, "complete" is one of the definitions of finish. The only difference is "complete" sounds slightly more formal and sophisticated, and you would usually use it to say things like "I completed the task"; you would usually say "I finished the race" instead of completed, although you can switch them if you want pretty much in every case.

• i ll explain in this way..
  "When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. But, when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!"
  
  
• Complete and Finish are two words that are often confused due to the appearing similarity between their meanings. There is of course some difference between their connotations. Hence it is not correct to interchange them. The word ‘complete’ is used in the sense of ‘entire’ or ‘total’. On the other hand, the word ‘finish’ is usually used in the sense of ‘conclude’ or ‘end’. This is the main difference between the two words.
  The word ‘complete’ is used as a verb, and in the sense of ‘to do entirely’. On the other hand, the word ‘finish’ is also used as a verb, and it is used in the sense of ‘come to an end’. It is interesting to note that the word ‘complete’ when used as an adjective gives the sense of ‘entire’ or ‘total’ as in the sentences,
  1. The complete work was done by the team.
  2. Francis read the complete book.
  In both the sentences the word ‘complete’ is used as an adjective and hence, the meaning of the first sentence would be ‘the entire work was done by the team’, and the meaning of the second sentence would be ‘Francis read the entire book’. Observe the two sentences wherein the word ‘complete’ is used as a verb.
  1. The work was completed by Angela quickly.
  2. Robert could not complete the work in time.
  In both the sentences, the word ‘complete’ is used as a verb and hence, the meaning of the first sentence would be ‘the work was done entirely by Angela quickly’, and the meaning of the second sentence would be ‘Robert could not do the work entirely, in time’.
  Take a look at the following sentences to understand the usage of the word ‘finish’.
  1. The story finished well indeed.
  2. How are you going to finish the play?
  In both the sentences, the word ‘finish’ is used as a verb and hence, the meaning of the first sentence would be ‘the story ended well indeed’, and the meaning of the second sentence would be ‘how are you going to conclude the play?” It is interesting to note that the word ‘finish’ at times can be used as a noun too as in the examples,
  1. The runner hit the finish in record time.
  2. The movie had a great finish.
  In both the sentences, the word ‘finish’ is used as a noun.
  
  

difference between end and finish

It is very simple
1) for human being that accomplished(амжилттай хийж дуусгах ) a task or an activity you have to use "finish", 
2 )for activities that have been accomplished you have to use "end"

e.g.

The game ended. -> the game is an activity and you have to use "end".

Tom finished homeworks -> Tom is a human being or person and he accomplished an activity "homeworks" so you have to use "finish"

difference between gift and present

• We usually say "Christmas presents."

         In most cases, they are interchangeable, but not always.

         For example, if you are really good at languages, I could say that you have a gift for
         languages. "Presents" would not work in that sentence.    
         Thinking about it in a way I've never done before, I guess a "present" is something you      
         present to someone, whereas a gift is something you give to them in any way. We say  
         that  you have a gift for languages because God gave you that ability, but He did not wrap  
         it up in something and present it to you. 

•  In most contexts, these two words can be used interchangeably.
  Example:
  birthday gift / birthday present
  wedding gift / wedding present
  Thanksgiving gift / Thanksgiving present
  Christmas gift / Christmas present

difference between mean and average

As far as everyday usage goes, both mean and average mean the same thing. Usually, in normal speech, we use the term 'average' much more than the term 'mean', which usually sounds more technical.

In statistics, average is used as a name for a general statistic that usually falls around the center of the data. Mean, on the other hand, is usually the sum of all values divided by the total number of values. But this itself applies only for arithmetic means. You can also have differently defined geometric and harmonic means.
