Возможны ли оба варианта?

Karabas
спасибо
Возможны ли оба варианта?

[Aiduza]

Зачем усложнять? Если Вас интересует, что означает x и что означает n (по отдельности), то do. Если все выражение "x and n", то does.

[AMOR 69]

Possible:

[Aiduza]

so, amat, what is your point?
you need something that is not a name - and to make one up you cannot?
ok, i'll do it for you:
what does "cease and desist" mean?
what does "alpha and omega" mean?
what does "hit and run" mean?
...

again, Aiduza +1

and to make one up you cannot? - sounds slightly Russian to me...

what does the expression "cease and desist" mean?
what does the expression "alpha and omega" mean?
what does the expression "hit and run" mean?

Should you have any further fits of English Grammer Inquisitiveness contact someone more patient than me.

[amat]

I have a better answer,
what does "cease and desist" mean? - They mean....
what does "alpha and omega" mean? - They mean....
what does "hit and run" mean? - They mean....

22:34 is wrong
correct is "It means ..."

[amat]

Silly Wiz
Of course 22.34 is incorrect. I made a deliberate error.

+ "Windows is starting up..."

[amat]

Aiduza
Great example. Maybe we should translate this "Windows is starting up..." as : "Окна начинаЕТ вверх"-)))) Why not? How can it be, WINDOWS is in the plural whereas TO BE is in the singular? Oh.Oh...The hammer and sickle WAS the emblem .....
.I think it's high time you started revising basic grammar rules.
