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.

with personality
Here's a blazer with personality. To a concert, an art exhibit or dinner and a movie, the rock-inspired plaid is sure to attract a crowd of its own.

ho fatto un giretto in rete, a me piace però ho visto che ci sono alcune marche di abbigliamento che hanno tough nel nome, il che complica la situazione.
Comunque non userei character, magari può andare bene anche cool o qualcosa del genere
| ciaoo dand, ma si può riferire ad un capo di abbigliamento ? |
| ok, grazie ! |

: "tough" and "bitchen" are definitely complimentary adjectives of my generation, but I am not sure either would work in this context because they are too slang and a bit dated.

yes, I know that clothing expresses the personality of the person who wears it. " Clothing with personality " is different . Here it is the blazer which has character... I can say that it expresses the personality of the person. I can say that this clothing item confers personality .. in this case it's ok ... but the meaning is slight different ...
