'Were' (as in 'werewolf') translates as 'adult male', so I was wondering what the female equivalent was. Any Old English experts out there? I did it as part of my degree, but can't remember.

Dear Maltese people/ speakers,

Can you please translate the following sentences into Maltese?
'I'm at home.'
'My house is beautiful'
Is there a difference between 'house' and '(at) home' in the Maltese language?
Thank you!

Monica

I have an assignment where I have to explain why the health care system in the U.S. doesn't run as smoothly as it could. I am making the point now in my paper that many Americans, especially minorities and those with low incomes, go without medical care. But I don't want to say they go without any kind of medical care because they do go to the emergency rooms and clinics and stuff. I'm looking for a word that describes what kind of care you get from a primary care physician. Not emergency care, but ___ care. Like you're taking care of yourself before anything goes wrong.

Okay so I watching that awesome old horror movie called Suspiria, but what does Suspiria mean ? I think it's German, because the movie is German but when I look it up all that comes up is the movie info, and nothing I've read has said anything about the meaning of "suspiria". Could someone please help ?

What the difference is between
1. “look” & “see”
2. “hear” & “listen”
Can you construct sentences to illustrate the difference?

When someone has passed on, they were addressed as “the late Mr. …” How did that phrase come about?
