Sentence meaning

[sibgakhan]

Please explain the meaning of the following sentences:

1.Aunt Irene, grey-haired and plump ,loved tasty, nourishing food.

Here, grey-haired and plump describe Aunt Irene, so it is connected with the word 'and'.

But why is there a comma between 'tasty' and 'nourishing'? Are 'tasty' and 'nourishing' adjectives for food?

Please explain this.

2. Jill ate more than Aunt Irene's own twins rolled into one.

What is the meaning of the above sentence?

1. I think there should be "AND" between the two ADJECTIVES!
i.e Aunt Irene, grey-haired and plump, loved tasty and nourishing food.


2. This can only be judged by perusing the context of this sentence. However, it may mean that "Jill ate more than the amount which Aunt Irene's twins were able to eat in the same time".


3. antonym of "further" could be "recede, retract, withdraw"
and opposite of "Wiser" is "more foolish" (because of their being second degree adjectives!)

'Narrow, more narrow, most narrow'---------is INCORRECT
the correct way is to say: "narrow, narrower, the narrowest"

"Foolish, more foolish, the most foolish" is the right way!
u may say: " dopy, dopier, the dopiest" OR "goosy, goosier, the goosiest"


4. Actually this is said to distinguish between NOUN ADJECTIVES and ADJECTIVES OF ORIGIN.


example of NOUN ADJECTIVES: Trade union, internet course etc.
example of ADJECTIVES OF ORIGIN: Danish pastry, wooden spoon

So probably the writer wants to tell that real difference between the two is
"adjectives of origin normally denote another noun e.g danish denotes denmark...and wooden denotes wood.........as opposed to the noun adjectives which don't refer to anything coz they already contain a noun"
i hope i've made my point clear!


5. I don't think so!.....coz its a fact that u can't make adjectives from all nouns!....now its ur task to find those nouns for which there isn't any adjective.


6. the expression ALL THE WAY literally means that u REALLY drove towards england crossing all the countries and rivers in between!

But now a days, this expression is being used in slang for a situation in which one person shows his importance to the other by telling him that he endeavoured much to come right from his home to especially visit the second person's place....thus putting a moral obligation on him (2nd person).


{the first person may have been wandering all the day in the streets and when he felt some hunger he reached to the 2nd persons house and reminded him of his SPECIAL visit to his home, exerting a moral pressure on him.....and then enjoying a free meal from him as well}
