What is a root word?

English
1 answer:
myrzilka [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A root word means the main word from which other words can be formed.

<u>For eg:</u>

☆<u>From the word "exaggerate" you can create</u>

▪︎overexaggerate

(remember over is prefix here)

▪︎overexaggeration

(over is prefix and ion is suffix)

So the root word here is exaggerate.

☆From the word "agree" you can create

▪︎disagree

(remember <u>dis</u> is <u>prefix</u> here)

▪︎disagreement

(<u>dis</u> is <u>prefix</u> and ment is <u>suffix</u>)

So the root word here is agree.

That means the root word is the word without any prefix and suffix.

Hope you got the concept!

What structural decision would a translator have to make when translating an original text
BabaBlast [244]

The option is D. Word order.

One of the most difficult things about translating an original text is keeping the word order. The order a sentence is said in english for example is very different from the order in spanish. For example  the sentence:

"I live in a <u>beautiful white house</u>", in spanish this would be

"Yo vivo en una <u><em>hermosa casa blanca</em></u>"

The position of white and blanca is different. If the translator doesn´t change the word order then the sentence would be translated as:

"Yo vivo en una hermosa <u>blanca casa</u>" which is structurally incorrect in spanish.

1. The POV is first person, because the narrator says ‘I’ when speaking about themself

2. When someone laughs on the street late at night you can hear it for miles, and usually if you’re able to hear it that means you’re not doing something exactly enjoyable?

3. I’m not too sure about this one, but I did some:

The cab I had was a little old but smelled like someone’s just wiped down the leather. I rarely get those fragrant kind of cabs if I go anywhere late at night. It was so quiet out, though hardly lonesome. There weren’t many people out on the street because most everyone was staying in with loved ones and relaxing. Now and then you just saw a boy and a girl crossing a street, with the arms around each other’s waist and all, or a bunch of energetic looking guys and their dates, all of them laughing like birds in the morning at something clever that had been said. New York’s amazing when someone laughs on the street very late at night. You can hear it for miles. It makes you feel like you’re not alone at all.
