Question about English (US)
Why do people not correctly answer my questions, or they do not respond at all?
Why do people not correctly answer my questions, or they do not respond at all?
I ask the question, "would he receive a hairstyle how to do it, and different styles? Do it feel natural?" He is the only answer I am. "You can say Is there a gold medal of the record is a book because it is a completely different hairstyle that you can do?" I asked about application the iPhone.
These are common problems I have with individuals.
- They do not answer in French.
- They ignored my questions in Finnish.
- I usually get an answer that does not make sense, and it is the only answer I get.
-individuals repair or translate for me, when I asked the United States section. I am not in the section where you will learn English.
- Simple question becomes an argument (stereotypes, about).
This has been corrected. In addition, the need for more people who know how to talk as Finland and France

Je pense parce que vous ne répondez pas en anglais. Pas tout le monde sait le français, comme moi j'ai besoin d'un traducteur pour vous parler. Il est donc difficile pour les gens de répondre à la question s'ils ne parlent pas bien la langue.
Bienvenue, je regrette de devoir utiliser un traducteur ...😢😭

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
- Simplified Chinese (China) Near fluent
@KiraHalonen1992 they're probably bothered by how large the question is and move on to another one, you have to remind yourself, these are people who are doing this on their free time, they're not being paid for this do they'll pick the shorter easier ones to read.
Some readers might not understand the question too, and skip it.

And if you ask a question in the English section in another language (Finnish for example) Only a few people who are looking may know finnish so they cannot help you

When you're asking a question in the "English" section, you're speaking to native English speakers. Most native English speakers do not speak French, so you're out of luck, really. That's why HiNative sends little recommendations for us to "simply" explain things to the people who are asking questions.
That's really just the nature of this website, though.

@indigofire24 @KwonEunji Le site se vante, "Poser une question dans n'importe quelle langue." En réalité, "Posez une question dans n'importe quelle langue d'Asie et d'Amérique-Latine."

- Simplified Chinese (China) Near fluent
@KiraHalonen1992 ... I feel like you can't understand us.

@KwonEunji Probablement parce que vous ne parlez pas français ou finnois. Parce que tous les Européens qui ne sont pas d'Espagne connaissent l'anglais, non? Vous avez tort! 😢

@Kurousaginekochan Okei. 😄 Mais j'aimerais que quelqu'un pose cette question.

@KiraHalonen1992 There's really no use in responding in French to me as my profile clearly says that I do not speak nor am I learning it. This site works this way for a reason.

@Kurousaginekochan I speak regularly to people whose English is poor as I teach ESL. The one difference though is that they try to respond to me in a language that I can understand. They don't go all the way over my head when I give them the true answer to their question, whether or not they don't like it.

@KiraHalonen1992 Of course not. But it does mean that if you're asking a question about English that you should try to ask it in a way that English speakers can understand. When I ask a question about Spanish on here, I understand that I'm going to get responses in Spanish unless the person reading my question knows English. I don't respond in Portuguese or Swedish on the Spanish section of this website. It's hard. It's frustrating, I know. But I deal with it. I understand it.

So you are trying to say I say what? I actually was an ESL student when I was younger but you are saying that Kira doesn't understand how to learn English or speak to us properly is that what you mean? Yes or no. As a former ESL student I find that because my parents don't speak a lot of English to me at home it was hard for me. So for a while my parents had to speak English to me. But you're saying that you should try to talk in the language the other understands.

@Kurousaginekochan What I'm saying is that I don't expect someone in a group that as a majority does not speak my native language to respond to questions in my native language. Simply put, I don't get mad if Spanish speakers respond to my question in Spanish if they don't know English. And here in my state, throughout all of my years of being an ESL teacher, I've only taught with English. Knowing Spanish was helpful as I know what errors that many of the students will make, but speaking in a language that they already knew actually hindered their progress. The point of them being in my classroom was for them to speak English, not Spanish, Japanese, or whatever other languages were their natives. I expect the same when I go to Spanish lessons.
TLDR, though, is that shorter questions get responded to faster because more people can understand them. This is a simple site based off of rapidity, so looking for intricate responses here is just a bad idea. Lang-8 or any other site is a better place for that.

@Kurousaginekochan It basically means "summary." It literally means "too long; didn't read" but it is used like "summary." So if someone does not want to read everything, they can scroll down and read to get the main thing that I wanted to say.
