"Puny" refers to someone or something very small and insignificant. Synonyms for "puny" are "tiny" and "pitiful". I do not recommend calling a person "puny" because it is considered rude. Ex: I expected to receive a lot of money, but instead I received a puny amount.

Lahko rečem Not only he has homered?
Če se Not onlypojavi pred stavkom, ki mu sledita subjekt in glagol, postane obrnjen v obliki Not only + glagol + subjekt. To je zato, ker se negativna beseda Notpojavi pred stavkom. Zato bi bil pravilen stavek He has not only homered, but he's (also) tied the game..

Mislim what is ittukaj dobesedno ne pomeni "kaj je to", ampak kaj to pomeni in kdaj ga lahko uporabim?
Ja, tako je. What is it?ni mogoče razlagati v dobesednem pomenu. To je zato, ker se what is it?lahko uporablja v smislu what's wrong?z zaskrbljujočo konotacijo ali z rahlo motnjo, pomešano z what do you want?. Vidite lahko, kaj to pomeni, ko ga dejansko uporabljate prek načina govora. Primer: What is it, honey? You look sad. Do you have something you want to tell me? (Kaj se dogaja, draga? Izgledaš žalostno, ali hočeš nekaj povedati?) Da: A: Boss, can I talk to you for a second? (Ali se lahko za trenutek pogovoriš z mano?) B: What is it? I'm really busy right now. (Kaj? Trenutno sem zelo zaposlen.)

Kaj pomeni narediti nekaj Actively?
Activelypomeni namerno, močno in aktivno. Ko rečem no one... actively hates metukaj, mislim isto kot no one vigorously/especially hates me. To pomeni, da me nihče posebej ne sovraži. Toda v mnogih primerih activelypomeni prevzeti pobudo. Na primer, če rečete a compnay is actively trying to recruit you, to pomeni, da bo podjetje vstopilo in vas pripeljalo do tega, da se pridružite podjetju. Primer: I don't actively look for new friends, I just seem to meet new people naturally. (Ne poskušam aktivno spoznavati novih prijateljev, samo naravno spoznavam nove ljudi.) Primer: Are you going to actively pursue this man? He seems like he's hard to approach. (Ali boste aktivno stopili v stik s tem tipom?
