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.

: Sorry, "Vô" in this case is a very coloquial form of "Vou" - "I'm going to", not related to Grandfather, which can also be reffered to as "Vô" or "Vovô". Thanks for listening. This is a hard question even for native speakers, as you can see below.

Daniel Tavares
: I agree with your suggestion for "Vô mimi". However, I think that "I can no longer" would not be spoken by someone who says something like "vô mimi"

Daniel Tavares
: Yes, this is the most appropriate suggestion. It is not only right, but it is so coloquial as the original text. It is a pity you have set your confidence level in such a low value. Good afternoon.
