Extinguishable for Dummies


What does Extinguishable really mean?

Alright, so, "extinguishable" is a word that describes something that can be put out or stopped. Let's think about a fire for a moment. When a fire is burning, it's not extinguishable because it can't be easily put out. But if the fire isn't too big or too strong, then it is extinguishable, which means it can be stopped or brought to an end.

Another way to think about it is like a light bulb. If you have a light bulb and you can turn it off with a switch, then it's extinguishable because you can put the light out whenever you want. But if it's a candle that's burning and you can't blow it out, then it's not extinguishable because you can't easily stop it from burning.

So, when we say something is extinguishable, we mean that it can be stopped or put out. It's like having the power to turn off a light or put out a fire. It's something that can be controlled and stopped from continuing. And that's what the word "extinguishable" means. It's all about being able to bring something to an end or to stop it from going on. Cool, right?
