I'm a Korean.
I also read this post as a translation to Google Translator.
And it is still a translator.
I want to be able to communicate this well.
Thank you very much for sharing good things.
We have strong grammar but weak vocabulary.
I think it's good for studying vocabulary.
Thank you.

Thanks for your comment.

With Google Translator, did the translation logical and reasonable? And could you understand the translated words?

Best of luck as you continue to study.

( I taught Korean high school students in Toronto. I taught SAT-preparation Reading and Writing. The students studied hard, and most of them spoke excellent English!)

Your ability to harmonize juvenile individualism with gigantic foolish sagacity surprises me.

[majes.tytyty]

That amazes me!

Nice to know that most English vocabulary word are gotten from Latin and Greek root. English words are a bit cumbersome to understand and used when making some sentences.

But there are some suffixes which when understood properly can be used to constructs more meaningful words in English. Really educative information you have provided on this post @majes.tytyty

[majes.tytyty]

One of the reasons I compiled and published this Vocab-ability was because each STEM, PREFIX, and SUFFIX can be used to make several words. Learn one stem, and you can make up to 20 words.

Glad you understand that, and I hope you find it useful and educational.

Cheers!
