Spanish term
ciudad posible
An article extoling the benefits of living in Oslo. How the UN has judged Norway a wonderful place to live
Non-PRO (2): AllegroTrans, Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

(Most) inhabitable city
I found this:
Copenhagen, a most inhabitable city
It's hard to find a more pleasant and civil place than Copenhagen.

Sí, quizás no es la opción más idiomática, de ahí que pusiera sólo un 2 en mi nivel de certeza, pero creo que se refiere a la posibilidad de considerar Oslo como una ciudad para vivir, y en ese caso sí tendría más sentido. Depende del registro del texto:)

: Pero solo con la forma informal "livable" en vez de "inhabitable", que no suena muy ágil. El original me parece un juego de palabras con "ciudad impossible" que resulta casi... impossible. Nil ab ilegitimi carborundum ;)

: The best all-round option for me. The original is a wordplay on "ciudad impossible" which I don't think translates well. Best in show:)

: Going to agree because it's light-hearted adspeak, but mainly because I feel a neutral or "dis" rating would be curmudgeonly or pedantic.
