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.

Discussion

Mario Freitas Mar 31:
@ Doug When you post a new question, there is a checkbox below that you can unmark. But be careful, as it will remain unmarket in your next question, and you have to check it back.
Douglas Bissell Mar 31:
Pro Non-Pro Mario's answer makes sense, as all my questions go out as Pro without me doing anything. But then, why would I ask a non-pro question anyway?

Happy Easter guys
Mario Freitas Mar 31:
@ Phil OUR default is Pro because we configured it as such some time in the past. But for newcomers, the default will be Non-Pro until they change it.
philgoddard Mar 31:
Mario The default is Pro - just try clicking on Ask a Question.
Mario Freitas Mar 30:
@ All We'll have to pay attention to the questions posted by new members. Unfortunately, the default in ProZ is "non-Pro" and the new posters don't see it and don't know how it works. Many people have already suggested ProZ to change that default, including myself, but they won't change it.
On the other hand, many veteran askers post questions as Pro that are not even close to Pro.
So let's pay attention and vote for both Pro and Non-Pro questions and make it right and fair for the answerers.
philgoddard Mar 29:
Your question was wrongly classified as Medical. I changed it to Geography, but you changed it back without providing the requested context.
philgoddard Mar 28:
Your source text doesn't say 'cidades conurbadas e cidades não conurbadas'. It does say 'cidades conurbadas de fronteira', which is 'transborder agglomerations'. Is that what you're asking about?
The answer to your question could be 'agglomerated and non-agglomerated cities' - but please could you give us the sentence containing your phrase.

Conurbation

Even though there doesn't seem to be a correspondence for the adjective conurbado, there is one for the noun conurbação, which is conurbation: "an aggregation or continuous network of urban communities"

Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : We don't have the context, and the question is about two terms, so a 5 seems a bit optimistic

Conurbation has the exact same meaning as conurbação. Of that, I am indeed certain. Given the fact that this term can only mean one thing in both languages, one only needs to apply it correctly.

city or conurbation

As I am not giving a translation of the term being asked, I have put a low confidence level. Anyway
cidades conurbadas de fronteira can be translated as border city, split city or cross-border city, I believe the last one is more common in Europe

and a strategic move that positions Salt Lake City to leapfrog cities of a comparable size with the benefits of a regional hub.

Example sentence:

Changes in these leapfrog cities echo back to established communities,”

To help leapfrog cities in the South, we facilitate data literacy, scenario modeling, finance pipelines, and an ecosystem co-creative approach.

Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : Leapfrog is being used as a verb in most of your references, meaning to overtake other cities. We don't have the context, but we're looking for an adjective.

In most, perhaps. Not in all. And it is the concept that matters here. I am merely trying to help the asker with relevant examples. You do like to "neutralise" just fo the sake of "neutralising", without giving a suggestion yourself. Happy Easter!
