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.

One example among the many: Joseph Stalin, was born in Gori, Georgia on 21st December, 1879. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/RUSstalin.htm
Sarah Weston Jan 26, 2012:
That is fairly standard.
Sarah Weston Jan 26, 2012:
No, you can just say born in Valencia on 2nd July
Angeles Barbero (asker) Jan 26, 2012:

Precisely, thanks Charles :)
agree Richard Hill : "Native of" is fine, but "born in Valencia on" is less wordy than "native of valencia, born on"

from/born in/native of

There are various ways to naturalize it, depends on what comes next in the sentence: He is from Valencia, born on July 2nd. OR He was born July 2nd in Valencia. OR A native of Valencia, he was born on July 2nd. (this is U.S. English)
Example sentence:

He is from Valencia, born on July 2nd

A native of Valencia, he was born on July 2nd

Peer comment(s):

agree MollyRose : But "A native of V., he was born..." sounds odd, even in the U.S. This is a writing style that some people use, not for legal documents.
