Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Alexandranow

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.

arranged her dressing gown and tidied her hair

Verbul "to tidy" e folosit in legatura cu aranjatul parului. In cazul hainelor se poate folosi "to adjust".

Scuze, am vrut sa scriu "adjusted her dressing gown and tidied her hair".
Example sentence:

She tidied her hair, checked her clothes then went to see who her visitors were.

She adjusted her skirts one more time before heading down to meet Viktor.

Note from asker:
Multumesc.

agree k33pwalkin : "adjust" works best for clothes, but it can work for both actions: Degas painting: "Seated woman adjusting her hair"
