hello guys welcome to part two of the African bush elephant which will be vocabulary if you have not watched part one you are more than welcome to look and in the videos on the channel you will find the African bush elephant part one uh this is a continuation of the African bush elephant part one and here today we are going to do vocabulary okay so first up we have the word tear duct okay so tear duct is basically the gland or the passage that the tear passes through from the eye to the nose or from the eye to the outside okay so if you look at the diagram you will see the lacrimal gland is located above the eye and then the blue line was my attempt to draw the path that a tear will follow to get into the tear duct okay so they also speak about the passage so a passage can be anything something can pause through for example two houses that has got a gap in between the two houses is a passage or you get a passage in your house that connects different rooms with each other it's a long narrow path okay right that being said let's go back to the definition of tear duct so it is a passage through which tears pass from the lacrimal glands to the eye or from the eye to the nose okay I hope that makes sense to you feel free to ask questions in the comments I did activate the comments on this video so you are more than welcome to ask some questions if it's not clear to you, you are also more than welcome to hit pause at any time on this video and refer back as you need to okay so let's go to the next one what have we got tummy okay so tummy also a noun and basically it's a person's stomach or abdomen so you have heard people speak about they want to work on their abs okay so that comes from the word abdomen that they just abbreviated okay so abbreviate means to make shorter and one example we can give is a tummy upset which means you have stomach ache okay so another word for tummy is also stomach or abdomen or belly some people use the word gut I don't really like to use the word gut it sounds a little bit icky to me but you can use it or middle okay so there you will see on the picture I drew a red circle or shape around the elephant's tummy all right okay let's move on what have we got next rumbling now rumbling was a very difficult word for me to describe because uh you cannot really put sound in a picture but as you can see I drew some distorted lines there and rumbling in an elephant sounds something like this it's it's something like this okay listen carefully it's like okay so that's basically how the rumbling of an elephant's belly or stomach sounds and if you look at the sample sentence we have here they say the rumbling of wheels in the distance so sometimes you can hear a core coming just through the rumbling of the wheels on the road okay so we have some cinnamon synonyms cinnamon synonyms yes English teachers also make pronunciation mistakes so synonyms synonyms and one of them are reverberation or resonance throbbing throb vibrating pulsating pulsing rumble beating beat drumming drum thumping thump thrumming thrum pounding pound pulpating palpitation hern no humming humming not hern humming murmur murmuring drone droning buzz buzzy so uh you are more than welcome to take these words as well and go and look for their definition or meaning it's quite uh information overload that I'm giving you in this video but uh you can also remember whenever you are learning vocabulary please learn the word plus the definition or meaning of the word okay you cannot go around and just memorizing words and you don't know what they need okay so always remember when you learn vocabulary also learn the meaning and the definition all right okay so that's rumbling let's see what's the next one oblique oblique okay so oblique is neither parallel nor at right angles or specified or um to imply no let me try that again funny funny okay oblique it's neither parallel nor at right angles to a specified or implied line slanting so if you look at my picture example you will see that it means that there's two things that have the same shape but they're not on the same line so one is a little bit bigger one is a little bit smaller okay so that is what oblique means so it's the same shape but on different levels okay look at the arrow then you will see the one task is bigger than the other task now in elephants we can also see if they are left-handed or right-handed by the size of the task the task that is the shortest indicates if they are left-handed or right-handed if they would have had hands because they use the task that is smaller more than the task that is bigger okay and that's why that task is uh smaller than the other task and then we would say he's got oblique sided tasks okay let's move on to the next one three bark okay now first of all we get a bark in English which is a dog that's barking but this one is for a tree so if you say tree bark it's not a dog barking up a tree it's actually the texture of the outside of the tree okay let's read the definition work often tree bark in botany means the outer covering of woody plants woody plants unlike herbaceous plants create intricate framework of cells and fibres which provide significant support and protection bark is the woody exterior of this structure technically speaking work is not necessarily a scientific term okay and in there i put in a link for you if you want to go and read about tree bark now um there is some difficult words in this definition that i would just like to discuss with you uh for example intricate framework so that means that it is a very detailed uh structure that consists of cells and fibres and now this is where you take a closer look at the tree bark and when you look closer you will see that there's a lot of cells and fibres that makes up the big picture which is the tree box so by the way this picture was taken from um in tsetsikama forest this is a tree that is uh now already how old is he i think about 1000 years old so yes but that's just a side note i will do a video on that later on as well okay there we go in short you can say tree bar is the brown part of the tree okay that's a very short way of looking at it okay next boasting okay boasting uh it is it's to brag now brag is a slang term i would say but it's like how can i explain it easier all right it's like someone's saying no no no no look at me okay that's a little bit of boasting but sometimes you get people that say oh you know i went to the shop and i bought myself this expensive watch and i've got this expensive shoes i just wear nikes because you know they feel they are the best at everything so boasting is a way to um to brag okay so let's look at the definition quickly okay we have here excessively proud and self-satisfied talk about one's achievements positions and abilities okay so this person usually boasts in conversations you will hear him say things like oh you know i'm driving around in my new tesla and then i dropped a piece of chocolate on the seat or something like that so they they need to tell you how wonderful they are so so you
