What is a problem with using a euphemism

English
1 answer:
nlexa [21]3 years ago
6 0

Someone who is not familiar with the euphemism you are using may not look beyond the literal meaning, and thus would get the wrong idea about what is going on and be confused. Sometimes, euphemisms are purposefully used to confuse the reader, usually to mask the more negative aspects of a situation; for example, when Publicis Groupe's Starcom MediaVest Group fired eighty people and referred to it as a 'talent calibration'.

Answer:

1. action

2. failure

3. permission

4. loss

5. thought/thinking

Explanation:

Nominalization or nouning is the transformation of verbs into nouns. Most times, such a transformation will require some alteration or other to be made, mostly through the use of suffixes, which changes the ending of the original word. However, there are nominalizations that require no change at all, the difference between verb and noun being revealed through context.

Some common suffixes for nominalization are -ation, -ance, and -ment.

Having that in mind, let's change the verbs given in the question into nouns:

1. to act - action

2. to fail - failure

3. to permit - permission

4. to lose - loss

5. to think - thought/thinking
