WARNING: not a native english speaker.
"driven" == "motivated" (by something).

AFAIK, "mobilize" is normally applied to troops/army (or people in political campaigns?). "to be mobilized" almost sounds like "to be drafted into army and sent to frontline" (although it isn't the actual meaning), I definitely wouldn't use it in this case,

Yes, that sounds sound. (is that a correct English now? ;D)

Technically yes, but I personally would've used something like "Yes, that seems sound." or "Yes, that sounds good.". ;) :D

"it sounds good" is also right

and
"it sounds fine"?

I actually liked using two nearly same words having altogether different meanings i.e. sounds sound. I thought that would make it an interesting statement. :D

What do you call a man who's nature is opposite of aggressive?

The words I am thinking are:

Tender
Docile
Gentle
Subtle


Not sure which one fits right?

Hi,

That depends on the context.

Here are a few opposites of aggressive:
- passive
- defensive
- friendly
- submissive

Passive and defensive don't fit right. I am talking of someone who has a jolly nature and doesn't get offended easily.

None of those words fit.

calm, peaceful, tolerant, easy going, laid back, friendly. Or you could cheat and use "non-agressive"

When you need synonym/antonyms, use google - it'll quickly direct you to relevant thesaurus/dictionary site. I'd also advise to avoid translating words from your language into english, becuase it is quite possible that meaning of translated word won't *excatly* match original meaning.

Thanks SigTerm,

"Laid back" is the exact word that fits in, IMO.
I looked up its synonyms in thesaurus . com which says:
All these words fit in just too well! :)

I haven't read through the whole thread, so if this has been posted I apologize. This always makes me laugh..
I before E

You call him "Des" (Just joking of course)

He could also be called:

Timid
Diplomatic
Meek (Note "Meek" does not infer a coward or weak, but one of quiet strength and purpose, yet thinking nothing great of himself)

Nice to know that you are still alive.

AFAIK, timid means one who doesn't have the courage to raise his voice.

This means, one who knows how to act/speak according to the situation.

Right; from Latin timere, to fear.

Hello,

I found this thread by chance ;)

Here my question: what is the difference between the words "what" and "which".

For me it looks "more correct" to write "Which distribution should I use?" but as far as I see most (native englishspeaking) members here at LQ would write "What distribution should I use?".

Is there any rule when one has to use "what" or "which" or do they mean the same?
