توضیحات اپیزود

You’re listening to Lingo Phoenix’s word of the day for February 9. Today’s word is fritter, spelled f-r-i-t-t-e-r. The stress mark in this word falls on the first syllable. Fitter is a verb that means, “to break into small fragments.” It can also mean, “to waste money, time, or an opportunity.” In this sense, fritter is usually used with away . Here’s the word used in a sentence: She fritters so much money away on expensive make-up. Here’s the word used in a sentence from The Washington Post by Roger Lowenstein: Unlike Burke, who took extraordinary preventive measures to ensure there weren’t more deaths, Trump frittered away six precious weeks. Fritter, as a noun, is a very delicious word. It means, “a slice of fruit, vegetable, or meat covered with batter (= a mixture of flour, egg, and milk) and then fried.” Hmm, I don’t know about you, but it sounds yummy to me. With your word of the day, I’m Mohammad Golpayegani. Visit our Instagram page @lingophoenix to learn how you can use today’s word in the IELTS speaking test.
