Interchangeable adjective question ("transit"/"transfer through")
when it comes to transiting a country, which expression is more appropriate?
From what I know of, "transfer through somewhere" has more of a variety of usages, but it generally means to transport oneself through s SPECIFIC place. But I could be wrong, certainly.
That being said,I myself have actually been saying 'transiting through for years now

For some reason I can't quote your reply post and separate them into different passages, so I'll just go by stating each point you've made and then replying to them directly.
1."Transfer through" means to avoid the place, moving as quickly and as non-interactionally as possible.
