A: Direct current, or DC, is a type of current flow in which the electric charge only flows in one direction. As opposed to alternating current, or AC, it is more stable, but cannot reach higher voltages as easily.
It's more useful than AC for things which require a consistent level of a precise amount of power (e.g. computers, welding machines). It's less useful for transferring large amounts of power across longer distances (e.g. through power lines), as higher voltages can be reached with AC, and higher voltages mean that, when transferring the same amount of power, less of it is wasted as heat.

A: It would depend on how you are using it. If you say ‘I want a direct answer’ it would be like saying that you want them to speak to you honestly, without beating around the bush. You could use it as ‘go directly there’ (to a place) and it would mean to go right to the destination without stopping somewhere along the way.

A: I think "directed" is similar to 지시하다 / 명령하다

A: it means to not say it so bluntly things like that. in korean, it would be like when you answer the phone and they're looking for someone, instead of saying "that person 없어요" you would say "that person 없는데요" indirectly saying that you can take a message, etc.

A: Direct can mean straight or to ask for "directions", meaning to get somewhere. Example: "It was a direct flight from Chicago to New York" or "Can you direct me to the nearest gas station?"

A: I go straight to my place
= I go directly to my place

he looked straight at you
= he looked directly at you

no difference (but the 2nd sounds a bit more formal in both cases)

but...
he is direct ≠ he is straight

a direct man = a straight FORWARD man
(he speaks clearly without going back and forth, he quickly goes to the point of the conversation, frank/honest)

If you say "he is straight", it means he is a heterosexual man (not gay)

straight can also mean not curvy
sit up straight. (fix your posture)
draw a straight line.

we usually use "direct" when naming something that has no stops

non-stop flight > direct flight
non-stop bus > direct bus
(they take you straight/directly to your destination, no stops on the way)

A: They can!

In the context for example if you say:

“Give me a straight answer!”

Or

“Give me a direct answer!”

Straight and direct can both mean “Getting to the point” or “when you go from one location to another without any stops or delays”

Like:

“Go straight to the doctor after school!”

“Go directly to the doctor after school!”

Both are correct!

They both also have other meanings that don’t correlate to each other as well.

Like:

“This RULER is straight”

“Speak with Jeremy and he will DIRECT you to your classroom.”

I hope this helps a little

A: That’s a tricky question..

“Direct” can be used in a similar way to “aiming” or “straight to”

Examples:
Was that directed at me?
There are no direct flights today.
Let’s go the most direct route.

“Orient” is when something is being aligned/positioned with something else.

Examples:
There were no street signs that she could orient herself with.
She was trying to orient herself with the compass.
Give him time to orient himself with the new place.

Direct = adjective
Orient = verb

Hopefully this helps!

A: context is everything (that’s direct)
to be exact/ precise is a collocation.
to be right is relative to appropriacy, what is considered right in social standing.

A: at or to could be used interchangeably and still make sense. The difference is subtle.

But, to "direct at" sounds more aggressive.

It is aimed precisely at one thing and nothing else.

Usually you direct at a person. You direct to a location.

A: The direct method, a teaching method in which teachers and students always speak using the target language rather than their native language, was one of the hallmarks of the nineteenth century's language education revolution, and has survived up to the present day. It is controversial, and many objections to it exist, but nonetheless, the direct method is known to greatly increase students' exposure to real Japanese.

興味深いです。

A: Hmm. I suppose if you emphasizing the word, you should use more of an "ai" sound. If you are not emphasizing it, go with an "i" sound.
Sorry about that! I changed it without thinking about it.

A: Yes.
