hmmm. these are two different words.. so, it embraces all the spectre of meanings in itself?.. hmm..
Parched basically means "without water" - so, thirsty works, as does dry/arid... Yet, "wilted" is more along the lines of "dead" than simply "parched."
English is such a fun language!
thanks a lot! @viking-ventures, sometimes I feel a bit sad I cannot get those things 'by default' as a non native speaker. looking at the world around thru the prism of the language, semantics, etimology, noticing how is it being constructed by means of the language constructions (and especially where did it originated from, and developed in time) -=- it is one of the things that I am very obsessed (very good word: obsessed!) :)))
I find language fascinating - even simply examining how English is constructed and where various words/syntaxes originate. (This includes having frequent arguments with spell-check - and usually winning.) Interestingly, my first paid job as a young adult was working with ESL (English as a Second Language) students at a university, helping them understand English better (and examining it myself...)
I'm always happy to give my thoughts on this.
super. you do understand me, then.
(for me, its not about English - its more existential thing, in a broader and more general aspect, that is what I like to find out about world / words of any language). gn! and one more time TNKS for your help and time.
Google Translate suggests that:
Parched =
- "tostado/a"
- "seco" or "tierra seca"
(That's the meaning I used.)
I had to look up "thirsty" to give you more meanings...
- sedienta/o
(That's the meaning @qwerrie used.)
Hope that helps a little.
yes, i found something similar, that's why i thought about dry trees or grass...
one english word have some many meanings...
