Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Robert Kleemaier

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

Ken Cox Jun 2, 2008:
On this site. 'context' means *at least* the full sentence in which the term occurs, plus additional text as necessary to understand the meaning of the sentence, plus general information about the type of text, field of application, etc.
Lianne van de Ven Jun 2, 2008:
I absolutely agree with Kate.
Kate Hudson (X) Jun 2, 2008:
The answer given could be right but we really do need more of the sentence to just whether it is being used as adjective or adverb
Kalyani Jog (asker) Jun 2, 2008:
The sentence where the word was used. is something like this.. '' vermeerderen met the kosten XYZ centrale autoriteit en de xyz rechtstreeks" I hope this helps.
Lianne van de Ven Jun 2, 2008:
Yes, it's best to include the sentence in which the word is being used...
Laurens Landkroon Jun 2, 2008:
do you have a little more context?

Still somewhat of a guess, you don't have the complete sentence (plus two more on each end then)?
