Good eye! But since 她 is a relatively newly invented character in Chinese, 他 is still also an acceptable word that we use for both men and women.

青 is green or blue color as you can see in the nature so the character brings us a beautiful good feeling.

请 has 言 , which means tongue or words, on the left and 青on the right so it means "saying beautiful things," "being polite."

You can find many beautiful characters with 青 as a radical.

For example, 晴 is a beautiful day with sun (日 on the left).

Yes, Klearz

since赶紧 sounds more like urging things to happen it's only used by human.

You can't say 电影赶紧就要开始了  no no no no no

but you can say 我们赶紧去看电影吧!

提议and 建议 are very similar in many ways

Exactly as Klearz said, 提议 is more often used when proposing for a group decision and is used only in formal situation.

建议 can be used in both formal and informal situation, both for a person and a group.

 

Here are some typical sentences 

  • 经理在开会时提议为老板举办庆生活动。

           During the meeting, the manager proposed to throw a birthday party for the boss.

  • 经理昨天建议我别参加他的生日派对。

           The manager suggested me not to attend his birthday party.

见解 includes the meanings of 意见 and 理解、解释。

见解 doesn't sound negative and it's deeper than 意见

 

你可以说:

  • 「他是专家,他对这件事应该有更高层次的见解。」

             He is an expert. He should have a deeper understanding towards this issue.

  • 「这篇文章的见解很独到。」

            The point of view in this article is very original.

沒有一定最多多少。「幾塊錢」只是聽起來很少。

  • 「我用幾塊錢就買到比賽門票了」 (可能是幾百塊,但是感覺很少)
  • 「花幾塊錢可以買到一個包子?」 (可能是十幾塊)

「说服」在中国常念"shuōfú", 在台湾我们常念"shuìfú"

可是「说」的其他用法,大部分都是念"shuō"

忒 是方言(dialect),意思是 very, too.

可以说:「风忒大。」、「人忒多。」

特除了有very, too.的意思,也有special的意思

「今天风特别大。」、「人特别多。」

  1. 中国说internet会说「网络」,台湾会说「网络」
  2. 权益包含「权利」和「利益」It includes the rights and the interest.

你可以說:

「劳工有捍卫自己权益的权利。」 Workers have the rights to protect our own rights and interests.

「每个人都有自由表达的权利。」 Everyone has the rights to speak freely.
