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.

un mouvement ou un mouvement et demi

If the sentence ends after «  survived » you can take fore sure this answer because in that case the term «movement » is seen as a unit, as a document which has survived physically.

Je ne pense pas que le vision de la 9ème symphonie soit très conforme à la réalité: tout d'abord Chostakovich a réellement essayé d'écrire cette symphonie triomphale; il en reste un demi-mouvement, mais c'est la petite neuvième qui en est sorti. La même chose s'était déjà produite avec la sixième symphonie qui ne ..."

Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : Not FR, and incorrect agrement — and in any acse, there is no plurality of half-movements; it is a convention in En to say 'movements' in the plural as soon as you go over 1 (i.e. here 1½): 1 cake + a ½ a cake = 1½ cakes
