Dear moderators and members

i am glad that u share important word list we must have command on vocab but kindly do mention how to memorize all of them..
I am trying to learn them cuz they gonna help me in aptitude tests
looking forward for the positive reply

when we were kids , we always used to get home work as "use the following words in your own sentences" this strategy works wonderfully , use daily 10 to 5 words in your own sentences or make a small story using those words , it will not only help you to memories the vocabulary but enhance your writing skills too .. good luck

Roha has rightly suggested you to use the vocab in sentences. For apptitude test, you have to memorize large number of vocab. Consequetly, you need to go through following hints:

1. Firstly try to understand proper meaning of vocab through a dictionary.

2. Then look over suffix, prefix, noun, verb, syn, etc. It ll introduce other related vocabs too.

3. Prepare flash cards by your own. Write vocab and it's absolute meaning on other side. By preparing own flash cards, vocab ll be properly reflect through your mind.

4. Put the vocab in different sentences everytime that you never get confused about vocab whether it's in any form noun, verb, adverb etc.

Best of luck!!

Where does the phrase 'bear with me' come from?
Answer:
Seems rather obvious on this one. Bearing is tolerating, with me is I don't want to suffer alone. Hence suffer along with me while I suffer also.

The meaning is a bit more broad than suffer with me while I also suffer. It is closer to asking for patience.

Example: A customer service rep on phone with a customer might say, "Please bear with me while I look up that information for you." Or if you are running late to meet someone you might say to them, "Please bear with me, I'm having a bad day."
