🇬🇧🇪🇸 whisper - susurro : English Lesson
noun
Meaning of "whisper" ("susurro"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A whisper is a way of talking so softly and quietly that you mostly use your breath instead of your voice. When you speak in a whisper, people far away usually cannot hear you, but someone right next to you can. People whisper when they want to keep something secret, when they are in a place where they must be quiet (like a library), or when they don’t want to disturb others. It’s like your voice is tiptoeing instead of stomping.
My whisper asked Mom for one cookie; my puppy-dog eyes shouted for five.
We tried to play “telephone” with a whisper, and by the end “I love pizza” became “I lick lizards.”
My whisper tried to tell a secret, but my giggles turned it into a loud announcement.
My whisper to the cookie jar was, “Don’t tell,” and the creaky door yelled, “HE’S BACK!”
A whisper is still sound made by your breath, not magic, but it’s perfect for sneaky jokes and top-secret snack plans.
A child sat on a bench, cold and scared. A friend came close and gave a whisper: "It’s okay." The whisper brushed the ear, a soft whisper like a warm cloth. Another whisper, another small breath, and the child's hands stopped shaking. After the last whisper the child smiled and leaned in for a hug.
