顺产 means natural labour.

If you want to describe it went well you could say

• 生产过程很顺利！

When 随便 is used to describe people it's usually used to accuse wanton behavior, sexually lawless.

• 他跟你要电话，你就给啊？你怎么这么随便！？Just because he asked your number you gave him your number? How come you are so easy?!

However, people could say "他做事很随便" meaning one does things very casually, not treating their work cautiously.

In this case, sometimes people forget to emphasize it's about the working attitude and might cause some misunderstanding.

Yes. We often say「到 （place）来/ 去」. It just means "come" or "go" and is more wildly used in the south.

• 晚餐到家里来吃吧!Wǎncān dào jiālǐ lái chī ba.
• 我明天会到公司去。Wǒ míngtiān huì dào gōngsī qù.

and 「Verb到（place）」 In this case 到 is used to mean "moving".

• 帮我把手机拿到公司，好吗？Bāng wǒ bǎ shǒujī nádào gōngsī, hǎoma?
• 你先把孩子带到车上！Nǐ xiān bǎ háizi dàidào chēshàng.

In the song they say 不醉不还 makes sense since 还 also means to return. They choose 还 instead of 归 to rhyme.不醉不归 is more common.

If Constance said 不醉不还 I bet no one would say it's wrong.I can totally relate to your feeling. If I, as an English learner, use some too advanced English words people would think it is a mistake as well.

Haha...I think you've watched too much GoT. It probably just meant, growing up, her brother educated her and took the financial responsibility for her, like what a father would usually do.

For general distinction you can check out this lessonabout when to use 不 and 没.In the two example sentences you gave, here is therule. 没 is used to negate if something changed.Catching a cold is a status that changed like if the clothing is dried, if the sky turned dark or rainy.

• 你      感冒     了吗？ 我没感冒。 Did you catch a cold?
• 衣服   干        了吗？ 衣服没干。 Is the clothing dried?
• 外面   下雨      了吗？ 外面没下雨。Did it start to rain outside?
• 天       黑         了吗？ 天没黑。 Is it dark outside?

不 is used to negate descriptive word, like "beautiful".

• 你頭疼嗎？The response could be 我头很疼 or 我頭不疼。
• 他漂亮吗？The response could be 她很漂亮 or 他不漂亮。

Because we usually cut(剪) it before you throw(扔) it away. It just safer.

Posted on: How To Make Chinese Tea

I've rarely seen anyone brew tea without a lid but I also heard that for green tea you shouldn't put a lid on and the water temperature should be lower as well. Maybe I'll try some green tea without a lid next time!
