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.

eyrie vs eyry I have found both (and even more) ways of spelling eyry. Maybe eyry is an old spelling because this work was written in the xix century.

Nido I have "nido" already but I want to know if there is a more specific term...

The right word is "eyrie".

No creo que sea necesaria una expresión diferente a la del nido. No sólo se utiliza para mencionar dónde empolla a sus crías el águila, sino para decir que es un sitio muy escondido y alejado, tal vez uno que domina cierta posición.

Well, a synonym could be: "guarida del águila", but it isn't common.

agree María Teresa Taylor Oliver : "Eyrie", yep. Y "nido" se usa tanto en sentido literal, como en sentido figurado.
