 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😎🥳😝😝

'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...

8 expressions to describe your mood in English...

  When someone asks how you are, how do you reply? If you stop to think a little about this, there are a wide range of human emotions which escape our understanding. Confining them to a single word is almost impossible.

As and Like

  As and Like   As 1: 'As' can mean 'because'. As it was raining, we stayed at home. 2: 'As' can mean 'while' or 'at the same time': As I was walking down the street, I saw Julie. 3: We can use 'as' to talk about the way one thing is similar to another thing. In this case too, 'as' is a conjunction and needs to be followed by a subject and a verb or by a prepositional phrase. Sometimes we invert the subject and the verb in a formal style. John loves spicy food, as I do (or 'as do I', more formally). 4: We need to use 'as' with expressions like 'as much as' and by 'as adjective as'. This is also talking about similarity. These expressions can be followed by a subject and a verb or a noun or preposition. John loves spicy food as much as I do. Lucy travels as much as me. She's as clever as her sister is. London's not as big as Mexico City. 5: 'As' can be used with a noun to show someone...
