Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Adam Smith

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.

Note from asker:
Soms is het zo eenvoudig en voor de hand liggend en kan je er toch niet op komen! Bedankt!

neutral writeaway : das klingt schon besser aber ich bin nicht ganz so sicher das es richtig ist

Vielen dank.
agree vic voskuil : write heeft wel een punt (aantal kan evt op iets anders dan populatie slaan), maar zonder verdere context is dit perfect :)

Bedankt Vic. 'Population' betekent in het Engels ook de grootte van de bevolking, dus ik denk niet dat hier echt een probleem ligt.

Bedankt Dennis.
agree Tina Vonhof (X) : I would say population trends - that includes how many there are and where, e.g. is there an increase in some areas and a decrease in others. B.t.w, your links don't work.

Thanks, Tina. Yes, I know there is a problem with the links. They work, but the sites don't allow free access. I think the google info is fairly significant, though.
agree Saskia Steur (X) : with Tina, population trends sounds appropriate

Yes, I think 'trends' would be an option too.
Something went wrong...
