In English, a bit over 1 is plural whereas in French, under 2 is a singular.

> What i like most are the earrings !
Would have bet
Handkerchief becomes rare nowadays. People rather say "hankie" (I don't know about the spelling but the pronunciation is that )
Nowadays, people rather use "paper handkerchiefs" but they rather call them "tissues"; however, "tissue paper" correspond to the French "papier de soie".
"Pocket handkerchief" is the French "pochette".

Endings -ie, -y -ey all can be used depending on the regions (we also find -a).

Difference Between Successful vs Unsuccessful People

Juts wondering why the symbol used on the "successful" side is a lady, and a man symbolizing the "unsuccessful" one...
Would it be biased??

To ooze forth.
v.tr.
1. To discharge or emit (a liquid or gas, for example) gradually.
2. To exhibit in abundance: a face that exuded self-satisfaction.

I frown when I see such a list of synonyms... I'm skeptical as for me -as you know-, there are never/no true synonyms
For me, the list you gave provides words of a similar domain but not synonyms.
There are differences between them all.
In French "inférer" is the opposite of "déduire" and it's similar (for once) in English: to infer is in the direction of the source, the origin while to deduce, to conclude, to imply are in the direction of the consequences.
