关于End的意思和用法的提问

A: It means be confident in your decision. If you have decided to end it, then go ahead and end it. Don't be hesitant.

A: Well, more importantly, what does “ize” mean?

It’s usually used at the end of an adjective or noun and turns it into an verb.

Moist - Moisture - Moisturize - the verb for “to make something moist”

Press - Pressure - Pressurize - the verb for “to apply pressure”

Now, the same way a “talker” is someone who talks, a “reader” is someone who reads, simply adding an “r” at the end of that “ize” turns it from an adjective to a noun - essentially a person/object that will have the effect that the root implies.

Horse tranquilizer - something that will make a horse tranquil (put them to sleep)

Grass fertilizer - something that will make the grass fertile (grow)

Appetizer - something that will increase your appetite (small snacks before a main course)

Ends is used more often for passive subjects. Summer ends. School ends. A relationship ends.

If an active subject uses ends, it’s a little more forceful or purposeful.

"I spoiled the presentation for myself"
