Size is important- corporations are very large. 'Enterprise' is not used in this way in English- it means 'initiative' not 'company'. 'Firm' and 'company' are pretty much the same to me, though company would be the formal term.

Thanks again, Ulli and Teacher Tdol!! :D

It's a sizzling hot day.
It's a scorcher.
Hot enough for you?

Hi!!Francois.
Why the word scorcher can be used to describe an extremely hot weather? I don't quite understand the word, could you please explain it? Thank you!! :D

P.S. What's the weather like in Paris today? :wink:

Well, b/c it scorches :)
Eg.
-- Honey, I scorched that horrible T-shirt of yours while ironing it.
-- Damn it! That was a gift from my ex-girlfriend.
