1
wash yourself or someone in water
To wash your body, or another person or animal, in water, usually in a bath or shower.
نمط الاستخدام:
to bathe [yourself/someone]
خطأ شائع:
Learners often confuse "bath" and "bathe". "Bath" is usually a noun ("take a bath"), while "bathe" is the verb ("bathe the baby"). In American English people often prefer "take a bath" instead of "bathe" for washing themselves.
المرادفات
wash (General word for cleaning with water; does not always mean the whole body or a bath/shower.)
|
bathe (AmE: take a bath) (In American English, people more often say "take a bath" for washing the whole body.)
الأضداد
dirty (To make something unclean, the opposite of washing it clean.)

3
clean a wound or sore
To carefully wash a cut, sore place, or eyes with water or medicine to clean or calm it.
نمط الاستخدام:
to bathe [a wound/eyes/an injury]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use only "wash" for medical care. In health instructions, "bathe the wound" sounds more careful and gentle than simply "wash the wound".
المرادفات
rinse (Emphasizes quickly washing with clean liquid; less about gentle care or medical treatment.)
|
cleanse (More formal/medical; focuses on making very clean, especially to prevent infection.)
الأضداد
infect (To cause germs to enter a wound so it becomes worse, the opposite of cleaning it to protect from infection.)

To cover someone or something fully with light, water, or another liquid.
نمط الاستخدام:

المرادفات
flood (Often used with "light"; suggests filling a place with a large amount of light or liquid.)
|
drench (Focuses on making something very wet; often sounds stronger or less gentle than "bathe".)

soak body part in liquid
To put a part of your body in water or another liquid for some time to clean it or to help it feel better.
نمط الاستخدام:
to bathe [a body part] in [liquid]
خطأ شائع:
Learners may only know "soak" for this idea. For body parts, especially in health or home-care advice, "bathe your feet/hands" is common and slightly more careful in tone than "soak your feet".
المرادفات
soak (General word for keeping something in liquid; does not itself suggest care or comfort.)
|
immerse (More technical and formal; focuses on putting something fully under a liquid.)
الأضداد
dry (To remove water or liquid from something, the opposite of soaking it.)

6
revel in praise or admiration
To very much enjoy praise, success, or a good feeling, as if you are inside it.
نمط الاستخدام:
to bathe in [praise/glory/admiration]
خطأ شائع:
Learners may try to say "enjoy the glory very much" or only use "bask in". "Bathe in glory/praise" is less common but natural, and always figurative, not about real water.
المرادفات
revel (Focuses strongly on taking great pleasure, often used in "revel in"; does not use the image of being covered in something.)
|
bask (Common in "bask in glory/praise"; similar metaphor of enjoying warm attention or success.)
الأضداد

short swim in sea, river, or lake
(Mainly British English) A short, fun swim in the sea, a river, or a lake.

Learners may confuse this with the much more common noun "bath". In most situations, especially in American English, people say "go for a swim" rather than "have a bathe".
المرادفات

|
dip (Informal; suggests a brief swim, often in cold water.)
