заметка (en-en)

Please advise - "to who?" or "to whom?"...

Context - "To who / to whom should the report be submitted?"

I realize there may be differences between British and American English...

Many thanks in advance!

Oleg Shevaldyshevдобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

many thanks Thomas!
is your perspective British or American?

Oleg Shevaldyshevдобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

I will have a global audience with the majority of Americans

Татьяна Межовадобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

it is the same in modern english. who is conversational mostly, whom is a bit oudated but is used mostly in written form

Oleg Shevaldyshevдобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

got it - many thanks!

Thomas Simonдобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

Yeah you are right. " to whom ".....is often used in written form. thanks for insights.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoдобавила комментарий 5 лет назад

Почему-то я думала Who should the report be submitted to? Или даже Who is the report (supposed) to be submitted to?

In this case, there are no differences between American and British English, but rather a matter of usage. In both languages, the use of “whom“ is limited to very formal situations. As Tatiana correctly suggested, it would be most common to hear “who should the report to be submitted to?“ In modern English.

Thomas Simonдобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

...the useof Whom is rare among american.....I think it is more british.

Thomas Simonдобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

Thomas, если вы это адресуете Улию, то он и есть американец...

Thomas Simonдобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

I addressed to Oleg Shevaldyshev

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝добавил комментарий 5 лет назад

I WAS ADDRESSING Oleg... 😉

Thomas Simonдобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

Thanks!

Oleg Shevaldyshevдобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

many thanks All!
the reason why I'm asking is that because I won't use the full sentence on the slides but rather a list of questions, including "who?" (should submit the report) and "to who/whom?"; all other "wh" questions will be there too

Oleg Shevaldyshevдобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

so the questions will be on the slides and I will be voicing them too

Thomas Simonдобавил комментарий 5 лет назад

You are welcome Oleg Shevaldyshev!!!
