Hi! The topic is fire, and we're burning to begin!
- To put out a fire, cigarette, candle, etc. is to cause it to stop burning by, for example, pouring water on it, crushing it, or blowing it out.
- put out は、火、タバコ、ろうそくなどを消すという意味です。例えば、水をかける、もみ消す、吹き消すなどの方法で行います。
- During the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, many fires were put out by people using nothing but buckets of water.
- Would you please put out your cigarette before getting into the elevator?
- You should always put out candles before going to bed.
- Never leave your campsite without putting out the campfire.
See ya!
