enjoy در ۳۰ ثانیه

  • It means to find pleasure.
  • Always use -ing after it.
  • It is a transitive verb.
  • Commonly used in polite phrases.

When you enjoy something, you are experiencing a sense of pleasure or satisfaction. It is one of the most common ways we describe our positive feelings about hobbies, food, or time spent with friends.

Think of it as the opposite of being bored or indifferent. Whether you are enjoying a delicious meal or enjoying a good book, you are actively participating in the goodness of that moment.

The word enjoy comes from the Old French word enjoier, which literally means 'to give joy to.' It combines the prefix en- (meaning 'in' or 'make') with joie (joy).

It entered the English language in the 13th century. Interestingly, its roots are tied to the Latin gaudere, which is the source of many 'joy' related words in Romance languages.

You can use enjoy with a noun (I enjoy music) or a gerund (I enjoy swimming). Note that we never say 'enjoy to swim'; always use the -ing form after the verb.

It is used in both casual and formal contexts. In a professional setting, you might say, 'I hope you enjoy the presentation,' which sounds polite and welcoming.

Enjoy yourself: To have a good time (e.g., 'Make sure you enjoy yourself at the party!').

Enjoy the ride: To appreciate the process rather than just the goal (e.g., 'Don't worry about the outcome, just enjoy the ride.').

Enjoy good health: To be healthy (e.g., 'She enjoys good health for her age.').

Enjoy one's company: To like being with someone (e.g., 'I really enjoy your company.').

Enjoy the fruits of one's labor: To benefit from your hard work (e.g., 'After years of study, he is finally enjoying the fruits of his labor.').

The verb enjoy is regular. Its forms are enjoys, enjoyed, and enjoying. It is a transitive verb, meaning it usually needs an object.

Pronounced /ɪnˈdʒɔɪ/, the stress is on the second syllable. It rhymes with words like boy, toy, and deploy.

نکته جالب

It replaced the Old English word 'brucan' (to brook/use).
