RE: Vocab-ability–1 (acri, acer = sharp, bitter) – A More Powerful Vocabulary (earn UpVotes with “Vocab Practice” exercise)
MY VOCAB PRACTICE
1)Acri = Sharp
There are many acri curves on this national highway, so drive carefully
2)Acer = Bitter
The roots of learning knowledge are acer but the outcome is fruitful.
3)Acrid =Bitter
Apples of Kashmir are acrid and juicy
4)Acrimonious = angry
That guy is always in an acrimonious mood.
5)Exacerbate= to aggravate
Pollution is an exacerbate problem for humans
6)Acerbic = sarcastic
His tone hung between acerbic and annoyed
Read Rule #5. In fact, read ALL the rules. If you're gonna participate in the daily exercises, you should understand the rules.
I went through Rule number 5 is it okay now?
No. The first two are the roots, and not English words.
Am I not supposed to write sentences on Roots?
Many languages whose origin is European (English, Spanish, German, Italian, etc.), come from Latin and Greek. Because of that, all of them share linguistic roots (I don't know if that is the actual terminology-not an expert). So many words that start with "acri", for example, usually refer ti something that is bitter. So you can use this fact to easily remember and memorize those words.
Maybe I'm wrong, though, please correct me @majes.tytyty
Correct. In fact, that's an excellent explanation, which is a restatement of what is written in the "Introduction."
Thanks for your input.
p.s. Actually, German has few roots from Latin or Greek. French does.
These English roots came through French.
Thanks to you for the lessons. Looking fwd to be an active member of all of them. Cheers from México!
No. The roots are not words in themselves.
My bad, So I just have to frame sentences on example based words only.
"Exacerbate" is a verb. You used it as an adjective. :-(
Hope it will get correct day by day
Thanks
Hi @aishaali.
Thanks for your input, but can you please hold off on such instructive comments to others, until the 23-deadline is past. (See note #3, under Shedule in "Notes on VocPractice" box above.)
Cheers
Oh...I am so sorry. I won’t do it again.
No problem. I realize that you were trying to help, and I am grateful that you would do so under my post.
Looking forward to YOUR entries!
Thank you so much.
Good try brother. But only 3 and 4 are right answers.
