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

A: difficult colleagues = troublesome, hard to manage, unprofessional co-workers.

A: So it seems. It seems so. These are equivalent.

"It seems so" is very direct, simply matter-of-fact.

"So it seems" is less matter-of-fact.
Saying it this way can signal that there is some additional feeling (uncertainty, suspense, worry, confusion, disapproval, disappointment, or resignation, etc.) .
Or, it's just another way to say "it seems so" that is less boring!

A: A nervous breakdown is a serious mental health problem.

A: Deny in here means to not give. So the sentence here means that he wanted to share the credit with his colleagues for the work they did.

A: Hmm to cut someone some slack is like giving someone a easier time rather than a hard time. So if your colleague is cutting you some slack they're making you work/job easier for you.
Does that make sense?

A: I don't know anything about this, but I'm sure my colleague here can help you.

A: They mean the day thing. colleague is a more formal way of saying it. It is also used for more prestigious jobs, such as a professor or another professional. Coworker is less formal. For example if you worked at a restaurant you would say coworker. But if you worked as a doctor or lawyer you would say Colleague.

A: The first one sounds a bit like the co-workers ask you to cover for them when they've already begun their vacations.

The second one clearly means that your colleagues ask you to cover for them before they leave for vacation.

But, I must admit that I thought both sentences had the second meaning the first time I read them.

A: @manger You're welcome. I can add that some would say that there is a "rule" that one should say "my colleagues and me" as an object instead of "me and my colleagues," i.e., should always put other people first. But it's not really a rule of grammar, more just a question of politeness or manners or style, and lots of native speakers will say "me and my friends" instead of "my friends and me" for an object. Indeed, the Corpus of Contemporary American English lists only twelve instances of "my colleagues and me" in academic and news contexts, but it lists 21 instances of "me and my colleagues," and hundreds of "me and my [n]" objects where [n] is a noun designating a person (e.g., friend, brother, neighbor). I didn't check for the nominative (subject) counterparts, as that's clear.

A: I get what you are trying to say but it wouldn't be said this way. I think you want your colleagues to "take the initiative" which means to do something on ones own without being told.

Example
"I wish my daughter would take the initiative and clean her room without me telling her"

You could say "It's frustrating that my colleagues never take the initiative. I wish they could be more voluntary or helpful."

The word spontaneous doesn't exactly fit here but I understand why you used it. Good attempt!

A: Wanna be friends?

A: I need your help applying xxxx. That would sound more natural.

A: "The friends I made when I was young ended up helping me more than my colleagues."

I think this is a better and more natural way to say what you want
