Hey friends, it's me Niharika with a new lesson for you. Today we are gonna look at eight
words that are suffixed with some. Now I always suggest my students that you should always
try to enhance your vocabulary by learning English words that are suffixed with different
letters. In today's lesson we are specifically going to look at words that are suffixed with
“some”. How to use them in your conversation? What exactly do they mean? Well let's have
a look… We'll start with the first one which is “burdensome”, yes something that causes
a lot of difficulty, okay? Which is really inconvenient, you're having a lot of trouble
to do something, well that's burdensome, okay? For example, probably it's your job, these
days your job has become very stressful for you. You're having a lot of trouble in performing
your tasks, so you can say that “these days my job has become absolutely burdensome”,
okay? That's how you would use this word in English, something that causes difficulty.
Moving on to the next English word that is suffixed with some is, “irksome”. Well
you know sometimes there are things or there are people who are so irritating and so annoying,
like at times their actions… just want you to pull your hair out. Yes, that happens to
you right? It happens to me very often so I end up using the word, ‘irksome’. Like
“I do not like to hang out with some friends of mine because their actions are absolutely
irksome”, okay so probably they behave in a very annoying in a very irritating manner,
so use the word irksome. Let's move on to another word here which is, “lonesome”.
Now lonesome can be used in two different ways, the first one is when you feel very
lonely because you are away from your loved ones. Yes there are times when you have no
people around you, it's just yourself and you are so lonely, so that feeling of being
lonely, that's lonesome. Another way of using this word is when you are talking about a
remote place. You know there are certain areas or localities where not many people live and
it just seems to be so remote, so to talk about a remote place you can use the word
lonesome, okay? So the first meaning is when you are away from your loved ones
and the second way is when you are talking about a remote place, okay? So if you have
to use this in your conversation how would you do that? Well when you're away from your
loved ones this is how you can use, “well I can't live in this house anymore because
it's just so lonesome” Like my family is in the US and it's absolutely lonesome, okay?
The other way of using this word is “I am not visiting your house, you live in such
a lonesome place”, or lonesome locality, okay? So probably it's just too dark there,
there are not people around and it's kind of scary, right? Moving on to the next word
suffixed with some is, “toothsome”. Okay probably you are invited for a nice dinner,
yes and the food that has been served to you is absolutely delicious, you totally love
it, now when you are appreciating the food that you eat, there are various adjectives
that we tend to use, like the food is absolutely scrumptious, it's delicious, the chicken is
awesome… well here's another adjective that you can use or enhance your vocabulary in
appreciating food, that's toothsome. So you use the word to talk about delicious food.
Moving on to the next one which is, “threesome”. Well threesome is also used in two different
ways, the first one is when a group of three people are engaged in the same activity. So
probably there's a presentation that you have to present next week and there are three people
who are working on the same presentation, so you're gonna say, “well it's a threesome
presentation”, okay so you need to showcase so you need to present this presentation together
and you let three people working on it, so you can use the word threesome. Now another
way of using this is when you are talking about your sexual fantasy, so when three people
are engaged in a sexual activity at the very same time, it means that they are having a
threesome, right? So two ways the first one is group of three people
working on the same task and the second one is when you're talking about a sexual activity
that involves three people, okay? Moving on to the next word that you can use which is
suffixed with some is, “loathsome”. Now loathsome is used when you are talking about
something that is absolutely gross, something that is disgusting. There are certain people
who are absolutely disgusting, there are certain things that are gross, so a great word to
use in English is loathsome. Like “I'm not visiting that place again because it was so
unhygienic and so loathsome”, okay that's how you can use the word. So when you're talking
about something which is really disgusting or gross, okay? Moving on to the word “blithesome”.
You know there are times when you are just so happy, very thrilled about something. There
are times when you have no worries, no stress, no burden… you're absolutely carefree, you
use the word blithesome. Well “I feel so blithesome this morning.” So which means
that I have no worries, no anxiety, no burden, no stress… I feel happy. So rather than
just using the word I feel happy, I prefer to use the word blithesome. “I feel so blithesome
this morning”, right? So the next time you are extremely happy use this word. And then
the last word that I have for you suffixed with some is, “winsome”. Well winsome
doesn't really mean that you win something, well winsome means when you find someone very
attractive, in a very innocent manner. So it's like a childlike charm. Like “my friend
has a winsome smile”, so you know there’s this is innocence in her smile. She just seems
to be so attractive, her smile is absolutely beautiful in a very innocent manner, her smile
has that childlike charm. So if you know someone who seems to be very attractive, very pretty
but in a very innocent manner, you can use the word winsome, okay? So these are the eight
words in English that would help you to enhance your vocabulary, they are suffixed with “some”,
so it gives you a new word all together with a new meaning so start using them and I'll
be back with a new lesson soon till then, you take care.
