To send out light, heat, gas, a smell, or noise into the air or space around something.
Vartosenos šablonas:
[something] emits [something]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "emit" with the more common phrasal verb "give off". "Emit" is more formal and is often used in scientific or news contexts, especially about gases, light, and radiation. There is also spelling confusion with "omit" (leave out), which has a completely different meaning.
Sinonimai
give off (More informal and common in everyday speech, but usually not used in very technical writing.)
|
release (Focuses more on letting something go free; slightly broader and less tied to light/heat/sound.)
Antonimai
absorb (Describes taking in light, heat, or other energy instead of sending it out.)
|

produce a sound or remark
To make and send out a sound, word, or cry from your mouth or body.
Vartosenos šablonas:
[someone or something] emits [a sound/word/cry]
Dažna klaida:

Sinonimai
utter (A formal word that focuses on speaking sounds or words, often used in similar contexts to this sense of "emit".)
|
let out (More informal; common in everyday speech for sounds like a sigh, scream, or cry.)
Antonimai
