Shakable for Dummies

Hey there! So, let's talk about the word "shakable." Have you ever felt like something was about to tip over or fall apart? Maybe you were shaking a toy, and you could feel it moving in your hands. Well, that feeling is a lot like what "shakable" means.

"Shakable" refers to something that can be easily moved or disturbed, usually with a slight amount of force.

Imagine you're building a tower out of blocks. Some blocks might be sturdy and strong, so they don't wobble or tremble when you touch them. But then there are those blocks that are wobbly and unsteady. If you give them a little push, they could easily fall down, right?

That's the essence of something being "shakable" – it's not very stable, and even a small amount of shaking or pushing can cause it to move or fall apart.

Now, let's think about some real-life examples of things that are "shakable." Picture a table with an uneven leg. Whenever you put something heavy on that table or bump into it, it starts to shake. This table is definitely "shakable" because it can be easily disturbed or moved out of its proper position.

Another example can be seen in a bowl of Jell-O. When you touch or jiggle the bowl, the Jell-O inside shakes and wiggles around. The Jell-O is "shakable" because it's not firm or solid like a rock or a glass vase.

So, to sum it up, "shakable" means something that is not very stable and can be easily moved or disturbed, often with just a slight amount of shaking or force. It's like that wobbly block in your tower or the table with the uneven leg – things that can be easily tipped over or thrown off balance.
