 WHAT ARE ACRONYMS?

 
Acronyms are an important aspect of translation, and it’s essential that we understand and know how to process them in order to maintain consistency in a text.




Acronyms are usually used in everyday language and they tend to get picked up quite quickly, and in many ways are used more often than the multiple words that the acronym stands for.

FOR EXAMPLE:

SMH: shaking my head 

t's used to express disappointment or disbelief in the face of what's perceived as glaringly obvious stupidity or extremely obliviousness.

JK: just kidding 

used to indicate that a statement is not to be taken seriously.


ASAP: as soon as possible

Immediately.


BTW: by the way 


.Used to introduce a topic not directly connected with what was being spoken about previously



                              

       There are also various acronyms for simple words such as:


Y: why                        U: you 

  



And well nothing... now put them into practice in your life, acronyms are really cool😎🥳😝😝

Causatives: Have and Get

  We use a causative verb when we want to talk about something that someone else did for us or for another person. It means that the subject caused the action to happen, but didn't do it themselves. Maybe they paid, or asked, or persuaded the other person to do it.    For exampple we can say: I cleaned my house. (This means I cleaned it myself). If I paid someone to clean it, of course I can say: A cleaner cleaned my house. But, another way is to use a causative construction. So I can also say: I had my house cleaned. In a sense, using a causative verb is similar to using a passive. The important thing is that the house is now clean. We don't focus on who did the cleaning. Have + object + past participle (have something done) We usually use 'have something done' when we are talking about paying someone to do something for us. It's often used for services. The form is 'subject + have + object + past participle'. I had my car washed. John will have his house p...

'Let' and 'Make'

   'Let' and 'Make' Subject + let + object + bare infinitive (infinitive without 'to') 'Let' can mean 'allow' or 'give permission': David's mother  let  him use her car. Our boss  let  us leave early. We can also use 'let' to mean 'allow' in the sense of 'make something possible': This student card  lets  you book discount flights. You can buy a pass which  lets  you visit all the art galleries more cheaply. Let's + infinitive  is often used to make a suggestion: Let's  go to the cinema tonight. Let's  get some coffee. (Although 'let's' is a contraction of 'let us', we don't use 'let us' in this situation). We don't use 'let' in the passive. Make Subject + make + object + bare infinitive (infinitive without 'to') 'Make' can mean 'force someone to do something that he or she doesn't want to do': His mother  made  him clean his ro...
