When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

pee
| thank you chris - I had to ask it in a medical context, but the age range (2-12 years - with adult consent forms as well) made it difficult to find the colloquial level - ( I also had to find a sensitive way to deal with a 'poep! !!:) |

: I would say most Dutch children under the age of, say, 10 would not be familiar with the term 'urine'.

-> "The kidneys are part of the waste disposal team. They check out the minerals, vitamins and other nutrients that you get from your food and send off anything that is not needed. They make urine (wee), send it down to the bladder..."
