Idiomatic phrasing: which sentence sounds natural?
Pergunta
You want to say that the payment service stopped responding in production. Which phrasing sounds most natural to a native-speaking interviewer?
Resposta esperada
"The payment service went down in production" (or "...is down") is the idiomatic choice. "The payment service stayed without answer" and "The payment service died itself" are literal translations from Portuguese that native speakers don't use; "The payment service is disappeared" is ungrammatical. Knowing a few of these set phrases — "it's down", "it's flaky", "it timed out", "it's throwing 500s" — makes technical English sound fluent fast.
Por que perguntam isso
Vocabulário idiomático de incidente ("down", "flaky", "timed out", "throwing errors") rende muito: são poucas expressões e cobrem metade das conversas técnicas do dia a dia em inglês.
