Do you want to say something?

Yes, I do. I'd like to ask you about the word "bamboozle." when I first heard the word, its pronunciation sounded a bit funny. Don't you feel that way too? According to a dictionary, it has two meanings as follows: 1) to cheat, mislead, 2) to confused. In your daily conversation, which meaning do you use more? If you don't mind, could you please offer me a couple of examples with the word?

Yes, I do. I'd like to ask you about the word "bamboozle." When I first heard the word, its pronunciation sounded a bit funny. Don't you feel that way too? According to a dictionary, it has two meanings as follows: 1) to cheat, mislead, and 2) to confuse. In your daily conversation, which meaning do you use more? If you don't mind, could you please offer me a couple of examples with the word?

1. Capitalise on the initial letters of words that start sentences.
2. Use ''and'' before the last item on a list.
3. Use the base form of the verb to form the infinitive verb ''to confuse''.

I use the word in a sense of showing confusion. Here is an example of how I use the word: if you are not sure of the subject you are talking about, just say something confidently to bamboozle them. Do you get how you can use the word?

Yes, thanks to your kind explanation, I feel I'm slowly beginning to understand how to use it. Well, can I use it this way: "When I first heard the word bamboozle, it completely bamboozled me because I had no idea what it meant"? On the other hand, can I use it in a passive sentence like this: "I was completely bamboozled by the word bamboozle when I first heard it"?

1. Remove ''kind'' as ''kind'' is used for animate or living things.
2. Well-written sentences!

You are very much welcome. Yes, that is an excellent way of using the word, well done! Do you have another question?

Well then, let me make a few sentences using "bamboozle" with the other meaning "to cheat or mislead." In a dictionary, there are these examples: "They bamboozled me out of my money," "She was bamboozled into signing the contract," and, "She bamboozled him into believing it." Have you ever used "bamboozle" with this meaning, or heard someone use it?

I found these examples in a dictionary: "They bamboozled me out of my money," "She was bamboozled into signing the contract," and, "She bamboozled him into believing it." Have you ever used "bamboozle" with this meaning, or heard someone use it?

1. Rephrase and use the active voice to emphasise what the doer, in this case, you, found.

Well done again, you have done so well. Let's move past bamboozle. What do you think the opposite or antonym of bamboozle is?

Oh, I'm afraid that you are mistaken. Those examples were merely what I quoted from a dictionary. How about my example: "They bamboozled immigrants into working hard in poor conditions"? Well, concerning your question, this is my wild guess, but I wonder if that is believe, trust, or confuse. Am I wrong?

自然な表現

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. & 6. Use quotation marks to highlight the grammatical items under discussion.
7. You may also use ''undeceive'', or ''enlighten''.
