vidro, copo, óculos, lente, safira

A palavra "glass" em inglês é usada principalmente para se referir a um material transparente e duro, resultante da fusão de sílica e outros minerais, ou a um objeto feito desse material, como copos e janelas.

Uso prático:

  1. Como substantivo:

    • Material: "The window is made of glass." (A janela é feita de vidro.)
    • Objeto: "Can you pass me a glass of water?" (Você pode me passar um copo de água?)

  2. Em expressões comuns:

    • "Glass ceiling": Refere-se a barreiras invisíveis que impedem o avanço de grupos, especialmente mulheres, em carreiras profissionais. Exemplo: "She broke the glass ceiling in her industry." (Ela quebrou o teto de vidro em sua indústria.)
    • "Half full/half empty": Usado para descrever uma perspectiva otimista ou pessimista. Exemplo: "Is the glass half full or half empty?" (O copo está meio cheio ou meio vazio?)

  3. Contextos de uso:

    • Informal: "Let's grab a glass of wine." (Vamos pegar um copo de vinho.)
    • Formal: "The architect used glass to enhance the building's aesthetics." (O arquiteto usou vidro para realçar a estética do edifício.)

Erros comuns:

  • Confundir "glass" com "glasses." "Glasses" refere-se a óculos, enquanto "glass" pode se referir a um copo ou ao material em si.

Palavras relacionadas:

  • Sinônimos: "Cup" (copo), "pane" (vidro de janela).
  • Antônimos: Não há um antônimo direto, mas "opaque" (opaco) pode ser considerado em contextos de transparência.

Pronúncia:
A pronúncia de "glass" é /ɡlæs/. A ênfase está na primeira sílaba, e a vogal "a" tem um som curto.

Gramática e etimologia:
"Glass" é um substantivo contável quando se refere a um copo (ex.: "two glasses"), e incontável quando se refere ao material (ex.: "glass is fragile"). A origem da palavra remonta ao inglês antigo "glæs," que se relaciona ao termo germânico para vidro.
