Do these sound natural? Thanks.
1.”I threw the rice away out of my plate.” 2.”I threw the rice away off my plate.” 3. “I threw the rice out from my plate.” 4. “I threw the rice away from my plate.”
“My maintenance required light was gone for a while, but I came up again yesterday .” Does this sound natural? How would native speakers put it? Thanks.

Is "own" classifying as a determiner or an adjective?
According to Cambridge Dictionary this meaning of own: "belonging to or done by a particular person or thing" can be "determiner / pronoun" but American Dictionary only "adjective" so why? Also I know that "own" isn't a determiner.
Does my sentence sound natural?
"Calling what he did "a misstep" is downplaying the situation."

Translation advice ( German - English)
I am looking for the English translation of the German word "Endlichkeit". In my research so far I have found finitude, finiteness, finity? and transience. But I am looking for the philosophical translation. Everything can and will come to an end, in both a positive and negative sense. Perhaps someone can help me or even suggest another, more appropriate word.

Could someone give me feedback on my pronunciation when singing this song?
[Link to my video :)](https://youtu.be/QCjv_p4IWCI?si=95OVnJLGLh-wVV2w) I'm Brazilian and I don't speak English natively, but I know a few things. I recorded the video in a simple and relatively quick way, just to post it on my social media today. I'll say that even when I analyzed the video, I already identified some things that sounded a bit strange to me and that I would try to improve, even though I didn't notice them at the time, but I'll leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions. Just to mention one example that seemed frequent to me in this video: the fact that I apparently pronounce the "t" at the end of some words in an extremely weak way (e.g.: white, right, tonight). Watching the video, it might seem like I didn't even pronounce it, but it turns out that I make a sound with my mouth in these cases that is very soft and I feel like it might not be right. And of course, there are other things that I noticed, as I mentioned. I understand that it may be difficult, but I will be very happy if someone offers to analyze it, feel free to give feedback. :)
Does he say “you could keep it in the quote of the phrase” at the end? Thanks.
