Is this a vague question? (Please see description)?

Please look at this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=10060111038...

and tell me if the two responses were warranted as to my limited ability to ask easy to understand questions or the answerer limited ability.

Basically, is it my fault that the two posted answers do not answer my questions?

Update:

Actually the question would be best answered by someone who does not speak English as a first language. So, lets say that German has a word that would fit my question. Right now, it is around 11pm in Berlin so our German friends would be more relaxed and have more time to answer the question. At the same time, it requires a person to have a decent knowledge of the difference between nouns and verbs. Even some Americans don't even know the difference!

    Because it touches on the nature of a proper question, which has been a topic of discussion lately, we're going to chime in here. After you posted your clarification, your question was quite clear. In fact, I (Matt) got that you were looking for a verb from the initial post, but it would be understandable if some readers didn't.

    It's kinda funny, but at different times of the day different people answer questions. If the question gets old it may never get answered. You can ask the same exact question one day and get nothing, and at another time another day it will get a good group of responses. The more I'm on this site the more I've seen that.

    I would say the right person hasn't answered it yet. It isn't me. I know nothing about other languages.

    Most people don't have the time or patience to read a long question and answer it correctly. It's between 2 and 5 o'clock here in the US, that's when alot of kids come home from school. Now I gotta go answer another question...
