Admettre vs. Avouer? Quelle est la différence? J'entends dire "avouer" beaucoup plus souvent qu"admettre".

так что vs такой что Can you explain the difference between the two and give me an example sentence for each?

More of [noun] (not directly comparative) How do you say "more of [noun]" without direct comparison. (Although it is indirectly compared to whatever the current status of the noun is, i.e. "more of the noun than there is right now.) "I want to talk to more people." ("I want to talk to more people than I talk to currently.) I translated it as "Я хочу поговорить с более людьми." However, my Russian friend translated it as "Я хочу поговорить с большим колличеством людей." There's no shorter way to do it then how she translated it?

"Distorted" quand il se réfère au son? Dans une conversation, récemment, le son n'etait pas forcement bien dans le sens que je pouvais entendre mon partenaire mais le son n'etait pas clair. Alors je ne suis pas arrivé à comprendre les mots. Apparemment "distorted" se traduit comme "déformé" mais semble avoir l'air de concerner la forme d'un objet plutôt que la qualité du son. Quelle est la bonne traduction?

Don't know VS Just don't know In English we distinguish between "don't know" and "just don't know", with the latter usually meaning "it's simply that we don't know". For example: "We don't know who's on the list." "We know who's on the list. We just don't know what order they're in." However, when I look up "just don't know" in a context translator, I'm given "Je ne sais pas..." Would "Je ne sais pas simplement..." or "C'est juste que je ne sais pas..." work for the distinction?

Simple question about genitive case usage Someone translated "Can I have some food?" for me as "Можно мне немножко еды?" (FYI-I know there are more natural ways of translating this sentence. This is only one of the translations she gave me.) I was wondering why the word "еда" is in the genitive? Does it have to do with the usage of the word "Можно" or "немножко" or because the verb "to have" is being dropped?

Russian verbs that require/don't require an object Someone corrected a sentence for me: "Нужно читать, чтобы чему-нибудь научиться" She said that without the second verb taking an object, the sentence wouldn't make sense. I asked if the first verb needed to take an object. She said no. Is there a rule behind this? Or even a rule of thumb?

Pluperfect replacing Present Perfect Indicative in European Spanish I was talking with someone from Spain. I wanted to say "I've heard that before", thinking it would use the Present Perfect, "Ya he oído eso antes." She told me to use the Pluperfect instead "Ya había oído eso antes." even though I wasn't referring to anything that had happened before another action. Is this just a peculiarity of the Spanish of Spain? And is it as widespread as she made it out to be, or could I just use the Present Perfect as well?

"Check out" quand il s'agit pas de l'acte de regarder Comment est-ce qu'on dire "Check out" quand il n'exige pas regarder quelque chose? Par exemple: I like this painting. You should check it out. J'aime cette peinture. Tu devrais y jeter un oeil. I like this song. You should check it out. J'aime cette chanson...? (Dans votre réponse, précisez le niveau de formalité s'il vous plait.) Merci!
