Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Somebody"

A: Give somebody a 25 cent coin

A: @tozibaevaodina0 they’re sad or disappointed. It can also mean to reject someones feeling for you. For example “i let him down easily”

A: @Joao054 Yes, that is correct. It is also similar to "persistence". So holding onto something tightly, refusing to let go even when it is difficult to hold on. Being very determined. Persisting, continuing to do something even when it is difficult. Not giving up and not going away.

All of those things can be tenacity/tenacious. It has those types of meanings.

A: it means you want to see somebody else’s viewpoint about a particular thing.
The ‘of’ is referring to the person to whom you will ‘throw an idea’ and ‘the idea will bounce off OF the listener’

It’s kind of idiomatic so hard to transliterate with full meaning

A: You can be bouncing off the walls in a negative way. To two tired parents, an overly excited child might be bouncing off the walls. Someone who had too much caffeine or sugar might be bouncing off the walls, too.
It's not too common of a phrase in the US, and I think it is more often positive than negative.

A: She walked her daughter to school.
I walked my friend to the bus station.

A: 1. I'm going to hold you accountable if something goes wrong.
2. We must all be held accountable for our actions.

You can also say "hold/held responsible" instead 😊

A: When you ask a girl out for a date

A: I have a friend named Alec.
Today I joined Alec in doing homework.
Yesterday Alec joined me in running.
I want to join Alec on his vacation.

I think a lot of phrases above can be translated with 一緒に
今日アレクさんと一緒に宿題をやってきた。
昨日走りながらアレクさんは現れて、一緒に続きました。
今度の休み、アレクさんと一緒に行きたい。

A: "I didn't have enough money for groceries this month, but I would get by on ramen" (Get by- sustain oneself on)
"She wouldn't listen to me, so I called her mother to try and get through to her" (Get through to- to convince someone/ to have them listen to what you have to say)
"He was just like his father, and one day he would take after his father and become a carpenter too" (Take after- become like/ to continue the legacy)
"He saw the dog alone on the side of the road and decided to take him in" (Take in- to shelter, to take care of in your home)
"She had a very heavy course load, she said she would be able to handle it but she was too busy and had taken on too much work" (Take on too much- to overwhelm yourself with too much work)

A: these can all be used interchangeably when asking a question.
-Can someone help me?
-Can anyone help me?
-Can somebody help me?
-Can anybody help me?

-Is there anyone in there?
-Is there somebody in there?
-Is there someone in there?
-Is there anybody in there?

When the sentence is negating, ‘anyone’ or ‘anybody’ is used more often than ‘someone’ or ‘somebody.’ However, when you want to have a negated sentence, ‘no one’ is most commonly used.
-There was no one around.
-There wasn’t anyone around.
-There wasn’t anybody around.
-(UNNATURAL) There wasn’t somebody around
-(UNNATURAL) There wasn’t someone around.

When you want to make a statement about a specific person who has yet to be identified, ‘someone’ or ‘somebody’ is used.
-Someone opened my backpack.
-Somebody opened my backpack.
-Someone ate my ice cream.
-Somebody ate my ice cream.

Hope this helps! :)

A: They are practically the same

A: No difference, though someone is more formal...
The same is true for anybody, nobody and everybody...

A: They can be used interchangeably but we generally think “someone” is more formal than “somebody”. (just as anyone is more formal than anybody, and everyone is more formal than everybody)

A: The only time I ever say "of someone" would be with the word "friend" or "colleague" like this:
"This is a friend of mine."
"He is a colleague of my brother's."
But it sounds more natural to say "This is my friend. He works with my brother."

"That's somebody's car." (Yes)
"That's the car of somebody." (No, sounds awkward.)
"That's Kate's dog." (Yes)
"That's the dog of Kate." (Sounds ridiculous)

Does that help?

A: You're right, it's grammatically wrong. However, this is slang, and friends say 'where you at' to each other instead of 'where are you' sometimes.

A: 「is」を使わなくちゃいけない^^
“Ask if there is somebody who can speak English” = おk

A: When you are contrasting two things, you can use "whereas" as a conjunction similar to "although."

Example:
-My new keyboard doesn't have a number pad, whereas my old one did.
-I can only eat a small pizza before my stomach is full, whereas my friend can eat a large.

A: Look over is used when you're talking about physically looking over something. "I looked over the wall." or "I looked over at him." or "I looked over my homework."
Look after is like saying watch or take charge of someone.
"I look after children." or "I had to look after my brother after his accident."

A: I was too scared to move. I wanted somebody to help me, but there were only scary old women. That’s why I had no choice but to buy some more sweets.

A: “syllabus”

A: × It's always frustrating that somebody leaves us away.
✓ It's always frustrating when somebody leaves.

“When somebody leaves” in this context means they’re going far away or will be gone a long time.

“When somebody leaves US or ME” often means you might never see them again.
John quits his job and his boss says “He’s leaving us.” Sally breaks up with her boyfriend “She left him.”

A: Thank you!

It seems that this was likely a song composed specifically for that series — sorry 😓.

The credits section of the episode in which this song was played, may list the name of the composer(s) (who can then potentially be contacted).

Lyrics:

[Belleville] place in the country
We cannot stop [feat]
Got no place that we can call our summerside retreat
In the picture is [live it up / lit up]

[ ... ] = likely incorrect (uncertain)

(Also, just so you know, these lyrics — aside from the third verse — do not make much sense in English — sorry!)

A: "To be willing to" is used to explain when someone wants to do something.
Here's a general structure to use:

[to be (conjugated)] + [willing] + [infinitive verb]

ex. I [am] [willing] [to eat] whatever she makes for dinner.
ex. We [are] [willing] [to cook] Christmas meal this year.
ex. Maria [is] [willing] [to go] home if her mom is there.

A: but there are some differences between English poems and Japanese haiku
