Needlessly for Dummies
pronunciation: 'nidlʌsliWhat does Needlessly really mean?
Needlessly means doing something that is not necessary or required. It's like when you do something that you don't really need to do, but you do it anyway. Let me give you an example to help you understand better.
Imagine you have a big bowl of ice cream in front of you. You're really excited to eat it, and it looks absolutely delicious, but then your friend tells you that you have to finish all your homework before you can have any ice cream. Now, if you decide to spend an hour playing video games instead of doing your homework, you are doing something needlessly. It's not necessary to play video games, and it's actually taking up your time when you could be doing something more important, like finishing your homework and getting that yummy ice cream!
So, when we say something is needless or it's done needlessly, it means that it's unnecessary, not needed, or not required. Basically, it's something that you could easily avoid doing, but you end up doing it anyway.
