Welcome on board!

Welcome!

The sentence doesn't make any sense. It's grammatically wrong as there is an object missing...removed [SOMETHING] from the list.

I am doing fine! I had a hard time these past couple of weeks (was sick) but now I feel much better! Hope you are doing good as well! Where are you now?

WOW, BWL is back! What an honor. WELCOME!

It seems you were finally able to post in the forum. I am glad to see that it worked out for you.

Yes, it is just a normal utterance as it truly says what is happening. I guess that "ticking" (tick) is actually an Onomatopoeia because it mimics the sound that the clock is doing. There are many words that are onomatopoeia actually. Think about expressions like Woof woof, Kikeriki, meeeow and so on. They all "imitate" the sound that these animals make. Why do you need to know these things? Is it part of your homework? :=) Best, L

I would say that "That clock is ticking" is not an idiom. "Time is running out" is an idiom I would say, because running has no relation to "time". So "running" is used in a metaphorical way, whereas "ticking" is not used in a metaphorical way. Curious what others have to say about it.

thank you!

Welcome to Linguaholic!

I see! Very interesting indeed! And I do completely agree that here in the West, people don't take this stuff serious enough and everybody is just doing what they want instead of drastic measures being implemented. However, this also has to do with the fact that in China, we got a 1 party government and they can just simply do whatever they want and they can get stuff done very quickly like that. In Switzerland, everything takes forever as the decision making process is just so different from the one used in China and so many parties are involved. But yea, I also wish that we could somehow deal more efficiently with that Virus here. I do have severa niche websites in the travel business and you can imagine that they are not doing well at all at the moment due to COVID-19.

That's very interesting, Blaveloper! I kinda did the opposite thing. I moved back from China half a year ago. And I am actually really happy to be back. As you could probably imagine with all that Coronavirus madness going on! There are not that many changes in the Linguaholic forum as you see. However, I have a nice little blog now and I publish stuff there regulary: Linguaholic Blog Work in Japan must be pretty intense, I imagine? I worked two years in China...that was intense too, but not only that :=)

Hey Blaveloper, long time no see:=) Great to see you back on here!

The first one should be d'Instanbul The rest looks pretty good to me:=)

hi there & welcome to linguaholic Feel free to drop your link the "Promote your Business" section of the forum. I hope you have a great day, Best, L

The second one is correct.
