Welcome back to ask Alicia the Weekly Siri's where you ask me questions and I answer them.

Maybe first question this week comes from a mad June 80.

What's the difference between afraid and scared?

If you are talking about fear, afraid and scared mean the same thing when you're using them as adjectives.

So I'm afraid, and I'm scared mean the same thing we're talking about.

Our emotions were talking about fear in different situations.

However, thes words can be used in different ways.

To scare someone or to scare something means to cause someone to feel fear.

For example, you scared me or you scared the cats, so that means you caused fear in someone else past tense.

It's scared, as used in these examples we cannot use afraid in this way.

Afraid, however, can be used in a way that scared, cannot afraid, can be used in very formal situations, like business situations.

As an apology, for example, I'm afraid I don't have time to meet with you today, or I'm afraid we don't have that item right now.

It means I'm very sorry, but so I'm very sorry, but we don't have that item in stock right now, or I'm very sorry, but I don't have time to meet with you.

So I'm afraid, is like, a short, polite way to say that.

So these are the differences between afraid and scared.

Okay, let's move on to your next question.

Can you tell me the difference between the words commitment and compromise, please?

Think about commitment as a promise or as an agreement.

So a commitment is something you agree to with another person or with a group of people.

As a verb, we say commit to commit to something so a commitment is something you agree upon with other people.

I made a commitment to do my best in this job.

So the second example sentence is actually a common kind of complaint in romantic relationships.

He's afraid of commitment or she's afraid of commitment.

You may hear it in situations other than romantic relationships, but it generally refers to someone who is afraid to enter into a kind of agreements, like a romantic agreement to date or to be in a relationship with one person for a long time.

So that's the nuance of the second example there.

More generally, however, commitment usually refers to agreements, and they can be in business situations.

Let's compare this now to compromise compromise so it compromise is a situation in which two sides have different proposals for something, and they each make changes to those proposals to arrive.

At this middle point, this middle point is called a compromise, So as a noun, this point is called a compromise.

They change their ideas slightly, slightly slightly and find an agreement so that agreeing point is the compromise point.

So let's look at some example sentences with compromise.

Our team members reached a compromise after discussing the project.

My friends wanted to go bowling, but I wanted to play video games.

So in the second example sentence, I've used compromise as a verb in the past tense.

That means each side changed the plan just a little bit.

A compromise you can think of is like a type of agreement in which both sides change their ideas slightly.

Hello, paternity attorney says, Hi, Alicia.

What is the difference between supposed to and meant to in terms of meaning?

Nothing supposed to and meant to have the same meaning.

The only difference here is that meant to is used in British English, and we don't use meant to in American English, for example, I'm supposed to go to a company event this weekend, and I'm meant to go to a company event this weekend, and American English speaker would use the first example sentence.

I'm supposed to go to an event this weekend.

A British English speaker would use the second sentence.

I'm meant to go to a company event this weekend for me as an American English speaker.

The second example sentence feels a bit unnatural to say.

It's not something that we use in American English, but these two sentences communicate the same idea.

So if you are studying American English great, I recommend using supposed to.

If you're studying British English, great use meant to.

Is there any difference between loose and lose?

I'm also confused with the words uninterested and dis interested.

I think they have the same meaning, but I'm not sure.

Let's start by talking about loose and lose loose with two O's is the opposite of tight.

So, for example, my ring is loose or wow, my pants are loose, so this means the opposite of tight.

Something tight is like under pressure, or it's kind of you can imagine it in, like this shape something that is tight.

Something that is loose is not that that there's not so much pressure.

Lose, on the other hand, is a verb, which means to no longer have ownership of something or to not win something as in sports.

So, for example, I lost my cat in the forest or I think we're going to lose the basketball game today.
