1 -enquiry o inquiry; enquire o inquire?-
Nota d'usoNell'inglese britannico, l'uso di enquire o inquire è dettato da preferenze personali. Tuttavia si tende a usare enquire e enquiry per richieste di informazioni informali: He enquired after her health, chiese della sua salute; to make discreet enquiries about a person's private life, fare domande discrete sulla vita privata di una persona. Inquire e inquiry si usano soprattutto, invece, in riferimento a indagini e investigazioni formali: A public inquiry will be held into the cause of the accident, verrà aperta un'inchiesta pubblica sulle cause dell'incidente; A commission was established to inquire into conditions in the prison, fu creata una commissione per indagare sulle condizioni della prigione. Nell'inglese americano si preferisce sempre inquiry in entrambi i contesti.English-Italian dictionary > -enquiry o inquiry; enquire o inquire?-

2 enquire, enquiry/inquire, inquiry
С XIII в., когда enquire/inquire попало в английский язык из французского, и до 20-х гг. XX в. оба написания использовались примерно с равной частотой и имели одно и то же значение. В настоящее время in - формы преобладают в американском английском, в то время как в Британии en - формы употребляются только в значении «задавать вопрос», «интересоваться»:He enquired after her health. — Он справился о её здоровье.
Слово inquire и особенно существительное inquiry используются в контексте, относящемуся к официальному расследованию: an inquiry agent («агент по расследованию», частный детектив), a police inquiry (полицейское расследование), a special committee of inquiry (особая комиссия по расследованию). Вот наглядный пример такого различия:I'd like to enquire about the progress of the inquiry. — Я бы хотел узнать, как идёт расследование.
В американском английском существительное inquiry имеет ударение на первом слоге.English-Russian dictionary of expressions > enquire, enquiry/inquire, inquiry
