Can you tell me the meaning of 'the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine' in the lyrics 'Little Things'

April 03, 2015

Look at the attached picture. Do you see the two dents that go in? (In the picture, they look like the "eyes" of an owl's face.) Those are the dimples that the song is talking about.

i've been studying for about two hours and still didn't get anything. is that correct?

April 03, 2015

"I've been studying for about two hours and I still don't get anything."

---

I've been = I have been, which means you still are doing it, so you want "don't" (present tense), not "didn't" (past tense).

hello, what is the purpose and or meaning of "OF" in sentences such as, "OF Monsters and Men", "OF The Blue Colour of The Sky", and "OF Mice and Men" ? Thank you, have a good day!

N A R A

April 03, 2015

"Of Mice and Men" comes from a quote: "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry." In that context, "of" = "belonging to" or "made by."

---

"Of" has many meanings: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/of (See if any of those meanings fits your examples.) ^^

so American English is way simpler than the British one?

April 03, 2015

If you live in America, yes. If you live just about anywhere else, British English is probably easier (since you're used to it).

"an" is not only for a i u e o right? u can use it with m, and s too right? cause the sounds if u pronounce it is like "emm"... me and my friends been fighting over this, he he -indonesia.

April 03, 2015

Yes, you are right. It's all about the beginning sound. Regardless of the letter, if a word starts with a consonant sound, we always use "a"; if it starts with a vowel sound, we use "an":

---

- I see an NBA [ehn-bee-ay] player over there.
- I took an SAT [ehs-ay-tee] exam last month.
- Nan wanted to be an FBI [ehf-bee-eye] officer.
- He is an MIA [ehm-eye-ay] soldier.

For words that begin with vowels, here is the rule: http://bit.ly/1k7Tm2d

Always make me laugh or always makes me laugh?

April 03, 2015

It depends:

---

- Nan and Peter always MAKE me laugh.
- Henry always MAKES me laugh.

---

"Make" → present tense for I, you, we, they, and plural nouns.

---

"Makes" → present tense for he, she, it, and singular nouns.

ca u tell me the meaning of giving up on lyric 'Say something, I'm giving up on you' ? and also does this question grammatically correct?

April 02, 2015

"Giving up" = quitting, not trying anymore, forgetting about, letting go of, not trusting in anymore.

---

Regarding the way your question was phrased, this would have been right: "Can you tell me the meaning of 'giving up' in the lyrics 'Say something; I'm giving up on you'? Also, is this question grammatically correct?" ^^

I making a cake or I baking a cake?

April 02, 2015

Both "I am making a cake" and "I am baking a cake" are right, but "I am baking a cake" is better. It is more descriptive and actually describes how you are making it.

some shop in my country write close in front of their door, and some shop write closed. so which one is correct?

April 02, 2015

"Closed" is right.

---

As an adjective, "close" is the opposite of "far," e.g., Stay close to me.

---

As an adjective, "closed" is the opposite of "open," e.g., The restaurant is closed right now.

What do you expect from CL's US debut? Are you excited?

April 02, 2015

Yyyyyyyeeeeeessss! We are excited. And we expect her to do well. She isn't "The Baddest Female" for nothing.

---

And even if she doesn't do as well as people expect, we hope that the haters will keep quiet. She is breaking new ground, and it's not going to be easy. Look at PSY: even after the "Gangnam Style" phenomenon, no one talks about him anymore in America. No one knows Hyuna's name. (They just know her as "that girl who dances in 'Gangnam Style.'")

---

As fans, we hope that CL succeeds and opens the door for all the other English-speaking K-pop idols and artists (Amber, Henry, several members of SNSD, RapMon, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Tablo, Tiger JK, etc., etc., etc.) to do more activities here. Who knows? Maybe that will lead to major agencies such as YG and SM holding more concerts in America or doing collaborations with famous American artists. That would be awesome. (⌒ ͜ʖ⌒)-b
