Hello, Kevin!! For me the worst stench on earth is that of a dead animal. Thank you, bro, I really enjoy watching your videos, so keep up the good work!!!
Excellent as usual but the following I heard got me confused 'if I say it smells or something smells it's always bad it's never good', when you were talking about 'smell' as a verb. I checked in Longman, Youglish and COCA and in all cases the verb was used in both good (smell good/sweet/delicious/fresh) and bad (smell bad/funny/awful) meanings. I probably missed something, or you meant exact 'It/something smells' only.
Let me get this straight Kevin and see if I got it; "Odor" is like a stench. "Scent" is like a perfume a lotion or cologne. - As a verb; You can smell odors or scents and even stenches. "IT (SOMETHING) SMELLS". (There's a stench around). # I Think it's a fixed expression only for bad odors, right Kevin ?. Thanks for reading my comment.👍.
Recently I noticed I smelled fruity when I sweat. So I bought a mouthwash agent but the odor is still there. Not only didn't it work, but my breath started to stink of cigarettes.
I was on a bus yesterday and one guy was standing next to me had body odor. It was horrible I could stand it thinking it wasn't as bad as the stench of death
The three phrases "It smells," "It stinks," and "It smells" all relate to smell, but they have different degrees and nuances: ### 1. **Smelly**: - **Meaning**: This phrase simply says that there is a smell, but it is not known whether the smell is good or bad. The word "smell" can be used for both pleasant and unpleasant odors. - **Example**: "Smells like flowers." (It smells like flowers.) - **Undertone**: Neutral, only reports that there is a scent. ### 2. **So stinky**: - **Meaning**: This phrase has a negative meaning, indicating that there is a very unpleasant or foul smell. - **For example**: "It smells so bad here!" (It stinks here!) - **Shades**: Negative, showing strong strength. ### 3. **Smells bad**: - **Meaning**: "Reeks" also has a negative meaning, indicating that there is a very strong and unpleasant smell, even stronger than "stinks." “Reeks” is often used to describe a particularly strong odor. - **Example**: "The garbage smells bad." (The pile of garbage smells terrible.) - **Undertone**: Very negative, strong intensity of unpleasant odor. ### Summarize: - **"It smells"**: Simply saying that there is a smell, not knowing whether the smell is good or bad. - **"Smelly"**: Has a foul, unpleasant odor. - **"It smells"**: It has an extremely strong, very unpleasant smell. 😂FROM CHAT GPT
