Cook food on a grill

To cook food over strong heat, usually on metal bars above a fire or heat source.

תבנית שימוש: to grill [food] (for [time])

טעות נפוצה:

Learners sometimes confuse "grill" with "fry" or "bake". "Grill" means cooking with strong direct heat, usually from below (or from above in an oven), not in a pan full of oil (fry) and not with gentle all‑around heat in an oven (bake).

מילים נרדפות

barbecue (Often suggests outdoor cooking with smoke and a social event.) | broil (Mainly American English for cooking with strong top heat in an oven.)

הפכים

boil (Means to cook food in hot water instead of over direct dry heat.)

שם עצם A2 entity

Cooking device with metal bars

A machine or tool for cooking food on metal bars over strong heat.

תבנית שימוש: cook [food] on the grill

טעות נפוצה:

Learners sometimes confuse the cooking device "grill" with the cooking method "to grill". As a noun, it is the object you cook on; as a verb, it is the action of cooking with it.

מילים נרדפות

barbecue (Often refers specifically to an outdoor grill and the social event around it.)

הפכים

oven (An enclosed cooker that uses surrounding heat rather than open direct heat from below.)

פועל B2 action

Question someone intensely

To ask someone many strong, detailed questions for a long time.

תבנית שימוש: to grill [someone] (about [something])

טעות נפוצה:

Learners sometimes think "grill" in this sense is positive, but it usually suggests pressure and discomfort. It is stronger than simply "ask" or "question" and often feels aggressive.

מילים נרדפות

interrogate (More formal and often used about police, military, or official questioning.)

הפכים

ignore (To deliberately pay no attention or ask no questions, the opposite of intense questioning.)

שם עצם B1 entity

Casual restaurant serving grilled food

A simple, not very expensive restaurant that sells meat and other food cooked on a grill.

תבנית שימוש: eat at [name] Grill

טעות נפוצה:

Learners sometimes think "grill" always means only the cooking device. In names like "Tom’s Grill" it usually means a type of casual restaurant.

מילים נרדפות

diner (A casual, often American-style restaurant; a diner may serve a wider range of foods, not just grilled items.)

הפכים

fine-dining restaurant (A formal, expensive restaurant, the opposite of a simple casual grill.)

שם עצם B2 entity

Protective or decorative framework

A hard cover with bars or many holes that protects or decorates the front of something, like a car or a vent.

תבנית שימוש: the [car/vent/speaker] grill

טעות נפוצה:

Learners may confuse this meaning with the cooking grill. Context helps: if it’s about a car, window, or speaker, it is a protective cover, not cooking equipment.

מילים נרדפות

grille (An alternative spelling often used in technical or design contexts, especially for cars.)

הפכים

solid panel (A flat, unbroken surface without openings, the opposite of a framework with holes or bars.)

שם עצם slang C1 entity

Decorative jewelry for teeth

Shiny jewelry that some people wear over their front teeth, usually made of metal and sometimes diamonds.

תבנית שימוש: wear a [adjective] grill

טעות נפוצה:

Learners may think this always refers to cooking because of the basic meaning. In slang, "grill" (or "grillz") can also be a type of shiny tooth jewelry.

מילים נרדפות

grillz (A slang spelling often used in hip-hop culture; usually plural, but refers to the same type of tooth jewelry.)

הפכים

natural teeth (Teeth without any decorative cover or jewelry.)

Slang for someone’s face

Informal slang word for a person’s face, especially the front with the mouth and teeth.

תבנית שימוש: in [someone]’s grill

טעות נפוצה:

This slang meaning is easy to misunderstand as the cooking or questioning sense. It mainly appears in informal spoken English, often in expressions like "in my grill" or "up in my grill", meaning very close to someone’s face in an annoying way.

מילים נרדפות

face (Standard neutral word; "grill" is slang and often used in confrontational contexts.)
