Diminish for Dummies

Hey there! So, the word "diminish" means to make something smaller, or to decrease in size, amount, or intensity. Imagine if you have a big piece of cake and you start eating it little by little, the cake would diminish because it's getting smaller as you eat it.

Now, there are a couple of ways we can use the word "diminish" in a sentence. For example, if you have a lot of money and you spend some of it, your savings would diminish because they are decreasing. Or if you have a really loud music playing and you turn down the volume, the sound would diminish because it's getting quieter.

So, when we say something is diminishing, it means it's getting lesser or smaller. Whether it's a physical object, an amount, or an intensity of something, "diminish" is used to describe the act of it decreasing in size or importance. I hope that helps you understand what "diminish" means! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
