不免 (bù miǎn) and 未免 (wèi miǎn) are both adverbs that are used to indicate that something is inevitable or cannot be avoided. However, there is a subtle difference in their meanings.
不免 (bù miǎn) means "inevitably" or "unavoidably," and it is used to indicate that something is certain to happen or cannot be avoided. Here is the structure when using 不免：objective reason,+不免+result
未免 (wèi miǎn) means "unavoidably" or "unnecessarily," and it is used to indicate that something is unnecessary or excessive. You use it when you can’t agree to something. Here is the structure when using 未免：（scenario, can be omitted in the sentence)，+未免+judgement
Here are some examples to illustrate the difference between the two, with pinyin provided for the example sentences:
不免 (bù miǎn)
* 这种天气下出门，不免有些冷。 (zhè zhǒng tiānqì xià chūmén, bù miǎn yǒuxiē lěng) (It is inevitably a little cold when going out in this kind of weather.)
* 他的职业生涯结束了，不免有些伤感。 (tā de zhíyè shēngyá jiéshù le, bù miǎn yǒuxiē shāngǎn) (His career has ended, and it is inevitably a little sad.)
未免 (wèi miǎn)
* 这道题的难度未免有点大。 (zhè dào tí de nándù wèi miǎn yǒudiǎn dà) (The difficulty of this problem is unnecessarily large.)
* 他的表演未免有些夸张。 (tā de biǎoyǎn wèi miǎn yǒuxiē kuāzhāng) (His performance is unnecessarily exaggerated.)
* 你这么做，未免太过分。 (nǐ zhème zuò, wèi miǎn tài guòfèn) (What you are doing is unnecessarily extreme.)

Migración en Latinoamérica.- Parte I 

Tacos are the world's most popular street food, according to a new study of TikTok posts.

Originally from Mexico, these simple, messy, hand-sized snacks are enjoyed around the world.

A money transfer company called Remitly wanted to find out about the world's best-loved street foods.

It made a list of more than 300 such foods from 136 countries, and looked at TikTok to see how many times each one had been mentioned on the app.

Tacos — tortillas filled with meat, vegetables or almost anything else you can think of — were mentioned more than 1.8 million times.

Next came a South Asian favorite, pani puri. Eaten in India at any time of day, these are crispy dough balls often filled with potato, chickpeas and spices.

Pani puri was mentioned more than 734,000 times, a little more than the third-placed food: hot dogs, which were mentioned almost 654,000 times.

Many of the most popular street foods on the list are things you can easily eat while walking — although you might get some sauce on your shirt!

But Vietnamese pho — a noodle soup — also did well, and so did Peru's ceviche, a fish dish made with lime juice and onion.

Some sweet snacks were also in the website's top 10, including waffles, croissants and crepes.

Many of these street foods can now be found around the world, although some are easier to find than others.

But travel website TimeOut says eating authentic local street food is one of the best parts of traveling!
