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.

Discussion

Nikki Scott-Despaigne May 29, 2014:
cessation The ordinary meaning of "cessation" implies something final, a "termination", although in French, is can also mean that the cessation is permanent. (Check the GDT which gives this information very clearly). Your overall context should inform as to whether the "cessation" is permanent or temporary. "Suspension" in English suggest something provisional, although it may become final.

neutral Nikki Scott-Despaigne : "Cessation" can be temporary or permanent; the ordinary FR reading tends towards a permanent state. "Suspension" can be provisional, lead to or describe a permanent state ; it suggests sthng of a more temporary nature than "cessation". (pass. voice?)
