Words of the Day!

Hi Everybody!!

Hope you're all well and have started the week with a smile! :)

Here are the Words of the Day...

debris
debt
debunk
debut

1. debris (n) = the remains of something that has been destroyed / wreckage

The 's' at the end is not pronounced, so you say debri (debree).

for example

After the crash, debris from the vehicle was found everywhere.

2. debt (n) = sum of money owed to someone that has not yet been paid

The 'b' is silent, so you don't pronounce it! You say det!

for example

He can't afford a new car because he already has a lot of debt.

3. debunk (v) = to show that the reputation of a person or an institution (or even an idea) is undeserved or exaggerated.

for example

Many have tried to debunk the Theory of Relativity, but have failed.

4. debut (n) = first appearance in public as a performer (on stage or music album)

for example

She's making her debut tomorrow night at The Big Apple Theatre!
The band's debut album hit the Top 10 in its first week!

Have a wonderful week!!
