“R” – Vocab-ability – A More Powerful Vocabulary (This post includes all entries beginning with the letter “R”)

in #writing7 years ago (edited)

This brief post comprises all the “R” entries of the Vocab-ability series. It includes many English words whose etymology can be traced to Greek and Latin roots.   

If you learn one root, you can learn, understand, and use each and every English word derived from that root. Vocab-ability is an easy-to-use resource guide to help you understand those roots.    

In total, this Vocab-ability post features 4 entries that begin with the letter “R."

Please feel free to download the following material, copy it, print it out, and distribute it for any and all educational purposes. If it helps you or your students increase your English vocabulary, it will have served its purpose. And I will know that my efforts have proven beneficial. (Please see my additional comments and notes below the entries.)   Vocab-ability–197 (rect, reg = right, straight)

Vocab-ability–198 (rid, ris = laugh)

Vocab-ability–199 (rog, rogat = ask)

Vocab-ability–200 (rupt = break)

Note re Copying each Screenshot: 

Each separate entry (including those in this and other Vocab-ability posts) consists of one screenshot (since making screenshots was the only way I could properly format the individual entries for uploading to Steemit). To use these entries for your personal study or in any classroom, you can download any or all screenshots by clicking and dragging the screenshots that you want to use, and then print them out.

good and informative post as always @maje.tytyty. possible add - "rectangle" for 'rect/reg'? - with 4 "straight" lines and 4 "right" angles?!?

Done. Much thanks (as noted in the post, just above my bio). That's a perfect example, with the two stems translating directly into English.

(Since I tried to limit all examples to one line in length, I did not add the "straight lines" phrase. But that's hinted in the term "quadrilateral." Godda love the magic of language!!!)

Again, much appreciation for helping me to "add value."

And extra, additional, bonus thanks to the current value of Steem!!!! Apparently, on Steemit, "adding value" is reciprocal.

As always, very informative. Your knowledge will help to save face and not be ridiculed, through ignorance. Thank you for your knowledge. Good luck.

Как всегда, очень познавательно. Ваши знания помогут сохранить лицо и не быть осмеянным, через незнание. Спасибо Вам за знание. Удачи.

Good point. An expanded vocabulary not only allows us to express ourselves more clearly, it also ensures that we will not appear to be complete fools. ☺

I didn't know there was a rupture verb and noun and ridicule verb and noun.
This weekend I will have an English test, wish me good luck!

Sorry, I was gone to Vientiane, on a visa run. Best of luck on your test! (Hope I aint tooooo late.)

I'm glad to read that you are studying these posts closely and learning some important details about these words. There's plenty to learn in the material that I am presenting, and you are one of the model students. Thanks for your responses and your encouragement.

In Vientiane! Really? I thought you were based somewhere in India! I lived in Laos for 6 months and in Phnom Penh for 3 years. Now I moved to Siem Reap since 8 months.
Thanks for sharing :)

Hey! What's up? I hope you are ok - we need you here.

Just a short visa run to Vientiane. Am back now.

Given the recent jump in the price of Steem, are you sure that you "need me here"? It looks like Steemit will do fine even without me. ☺ Nevertheless, I'll stick around and do what I can to increase the value even more.

Thanks, and realize that we need people like you here, too. Keep plugging away!

wow you are great had described all the vocabulary its amazing to learn todat is R turn thank you for sharing with us ...

This "ot post" of which you write ... is that a good thing? Am I to take that as a compliment?
