[🇺🇸] In colloquial English, can I say, "I suggest you this movie" or "I recommend you this movie"? If not, what are some good alternatives? Thank you!

Would you like some/any tea?

Why a waiter would use "some" when offering? We use some in questions when we expect the answer to be "yes" and "any' when we don't know the answer. Does the waiter expect the answer "yes"?

How to respond complaints like this?

For example, John says: what a bad day! I lost my keys on the way to work so I had to get a new one. I would respond: (robotic translated:) *You can’t compare misfortunes with me.* I not only broke my water bottle last Friday, but also forgot to pump up my bike so I went to work late. The *sentence* is the direct translation from my language, which means that we both had a bad day and maybe mine was worse. But I don’t know the natural way to express myself in English under this circumstance. By the way, does my response sounds negative and frustrating to native speakers, or it’s normal and people complain like that all the time? If that’s not a good response, what would you respond if someone complained to you in a casual conversation?

What do “ballin’”, “pop(or poppin’”, “clubbin’” mean?

What do “ballin’”, “pop(or poppin’”, “clubbin’” mean?

I’m just learning English so can somebody explain why a lot of musicians(as example) say verbs without g in the end of word? And what do the words mean?

Do native speakers still say "the" and "a" word

I just think that these words are unnecessary when I watch videos, anime, or movies especially in infromal conversation

Don't you think they should be a name in English for when you are older than your Auntie and uncle?

Since your auntie and uncle usually can have authority over you but it doesn't apply when they're around the same age as you or younger than you.
