Hi Taña,

Hope everything is Ok.

Yeah, actually that was my first thought, I meant a typo.
Taña Dalglish Sep 3, 2020:
@ Ninoslav thought-provoking
adjective
stimulating careful consideration or attention.
"thought-provoking questions"
Taña Dalglish Sep 3, 2020:
@ Ninoslav Sorry!! But I do not understand your message: I think to have a purpose, respectively sense "Exchanging messages (messaging) on social network (media) through provocation (or provoking). With all due respect, what does "respectively sense" mean? Nothing, Ninoslav is being provoked. Provoked means to "annoy something or someone, to egg them on, etc., etc.". For goodness sake, neither version makes much sense! Regards.
Ninoslav Matijevic Sep 3, 2020:
Dear Taña, I think to have a purpose, respectively sense "Exchanging messages (messaging) on social network (media) through provocation (or provoking)". It is my opinion. Regards
Taña Dalglish Sep 3, 2020:
@ Manuel I think they mean "thought provoking", not "through". An error, perhaps? https://www.collinsdictionary.com/es/diccionario/ingles-espa...

Ok. I fully understood you. Thank you for new useful information to all. For me, the provoking is generally a bad human habit that makes a restlessness, or anger, or anxiety of another person. But good, this context looks for something quite different. Regards.
Note from asker:
NO, NO. Not in this cse Ninoslav; it is not the context here!
Peer comment(s):

disagree Taña Dalglish : Absolutely not! Where on earth Ninoslav do you get the idea that questions are obscene? https://www.wordmagicsoft.com/diccionario/en-es/thought-prov... Is Spanish 1 of working languages, really? Isn't it Serbian?
