Posted on: Youth in the Nursing Home 养老院为啥住进了年轻人
November 22, 2018 at 2:57 AM您好！您指出的地方是“狭义”，指范围比较狭窄的意义或定义，与“广义”相对。

November 22, 2018 at 2:55 AMSamthoms您好！
“不上去”是补充说明“提高”的，，加重“费用提高有困难”的语气。可以说：“护理费用提高不了。”。比如我们会说：“山太高，我爬不上去。”大多用在动词（如：提高、爬）后面。
希望对您有帮助。

November 21, 2018 at 5:14 AMBoth work; they can be used interchangeably in this case. :)

November 21, 2018 at 5:13 AMTechnically they are completely interchangeable. 早, 早安 and 早上好 are all words of greeting. People in Mainland China generally use '早上好', while in Taiwan '早安' is used a lot more than 早上好. '早' is used everywhere (think of it as a brief version of 早上好 and 早安).
Hope this helps!

Posted on: 非常 Adjective
November 21, 2018 at 5:05 AM1. Yes; in terms of degree, 非常 > 很
2. Compared with 很 and 非常, 真denotes more of a strong emotional feeling and a more personal reaction. That is, while 很 and 非常 can be used objectively, 真nearly always indicates a subjective point of view (from the speaker).
An easy way to differentiate the three:
你很漂亮: you're beautiful.
你非常漂亮: you're very beautiful.
你真漂亮: you're such a beauty!

November 21, 2018 at 4:51 AMThe two are similar in the sense that they both denote a large degree of freedom for making choices. The difference lies in 意 vs 便. 随意lays emphasis on your subjective opinion/feeling (what do YOU feel like doing?), whereas 随便 focuses on convenience, even the lack/needlessness of thinking before acting (sometimes slightly negative).
In the case of 随便, you don't mind other people making decisions for you. 强调方便. Similar to '无所谓'. E.g. 我随便去哪里都行，你决定吧！(I don't mind where we go. You decide!) or 他说话随便 (He doesn't watch what he says/ he's got loose lips.)。
In the case of 随意, it is often you who makes the decision. 任凭自己的心意、想法。E.g. 请随意坐 (Please sit wherever - meaning make yourselves comfortable)！
Hope this helps!

November 22, 2018 at 1:39 PMsebastienbrady您好！
听到您说失望让我们心里特别忐忑。让我们一起来解决每一个问题：
1、“面见”和“见面”是两个不同的词语。
“面见”是亲自见的意思，是及物动词，即后面可以跟名词，比如：面见总统。本课中就是这个。
“见面”是彼此对面相见，是不及物动词，即后面不可以跟名词，比如：我与总统见面。
2、架的拼音是jia4.
3、“架高”和“高架”也是两个不同的词语。
“架高”是个动词+形容词，指支撑起某物使其升高。比如：架高的舞台。本课中“架高的走道”，指走道已经升高还是被水淹了。
“高架”是名词，指很高的架子，多用于高架桥、高架路等。
4、“暂停”的拼音是zan4ting2，"暂“只有一个读音。
希望我的回答能够解决您的疑惑。也谢谢您提出的问题，对您的关注表示感谢！
