and leave a message. ^^* I am sooo shy.
I think that 'sole of foot' and 'base of foot' are equally used.. somtimes people use 'bottom of the foot' ..
Anyways, i think its better if you say the sentence above like this 'I applied the tinea plaster to the sole of my son's feet'
Thank you for your feedback. Suddenly, reading your response, I become have another question. which one is more common between "base of a foot(base of foot?)" and "sole of a foot(sole of foot?)"? ggg
Sorry for asking frequently.
Also your english is very good. I could understand you clearly except for that one word i mentioned above heh.
anyways, thanks for taking the time to record your voice. Bye for now.
P.S i recognize the song in the background. Its nice~ I remember hearing it in the drama.
Ok your first question was:
Q: 'which one is more common to use, tinea or athletes foot' & how to pronounce t-i-n-e-a
A: There is no doubt that athletes foot is used more commonly than tinea. I think a good amount of people don't even know what tinea is haha. Also, tinea is pronouced [tee-ni-ah] ... hmm kind of like 티니아.
For the second question, im not exactly sure what you said...
Q: Is this sentence correct: "I apply the tinea plaster to the ???? of my sons"
A: There is nothing wrong with that sentence., but I don't know one of the words you said in the sentence.. to me, it sounded like ''...plaster to the solo book of my sons'. I think you meant the base of their foot. Anyways, sorry i couldn't understand you at that part.
I hope this helps you out. Take care~
