Don't give millet

[jutfrank]

The English word for a food that causes problems of digestion is dyspeptic. (Although this adjective also, and more usually, refers to people who suffer poor digestion or the bad temper that goes with it.)

Is this what you are trying to express?

If you read back through the thread, you'll see it took us 14 posts to realise that the sense of the word hot was that as in post #17, (which Untaught88 has yet to confirm, by the way).

I offered both possibilities exactly because Untaught88 had not confirmed what he meant by hot.

Fair enough.

It seems to me from the way he 'liked' teechar's post #3, and from his answer to Rover's question in post #6, and from the liking and lack of answer to GoesStation's question in post #11, that Untaught has not yet picked up on the fact that we are still not completely sure what he means by hot!

Untaught88—if you don't tell us what you mean, how are we supposed to advise you on what to say?

I'm sorry for being late. I had some problems.

Don't give millet to your birds in summer, because it will produce heat. This is what I want to say.

What can you feed them in the summer?

The sentence is grammatical, but it doesn't make sense.

I advise learners to use "because".

So do I. The word "for", when it means "because", is too poetic for most circumstances; as such, it sounds out of place in most situations.
