Spoilt for Dummies

"Spoilt," huh? Alright, let's dive into understanding this word. So, imagine you have a piece of fresh, juicy fruit like an apple or a strawberry. When that fruit is just right - tasty, colorful, and perfect in every way, it's considered "unspoiled." It's at its best and ready to be enjoyed.

Now, sometimes, things happen that can change the quality of that fruit. Maybe it gets bruised, it starts to rot, or it becomes mushy to the touch. When a fruit goes through this changed state, it's now considered "spoilt." It's no longer as good as it was before. In simpler terms, "spoilt" means that something has become "bad" or "ruined."

But wait, there's more! "Spoilt" can also be used to describe a person's behavior. Imagine a child who always gets their way, keeps getting toys, treats, and everything they want, without any limits or boundaries. Now, that child may start to behave in a not-so-nice way. They might become selfish, demanding, and unappreciative. In this case, we can say that the child is "spoilt" because they have been allowed to have everything they want, which has affected their behavior negatively.

So, to sum it up, "spoilt" means something or someone that has gone from being good or well-behaved to being bad, ruined, or negatively affected in some way. It can refer to fruits or things that have decayed or lost their quality, or it can describe a person whose behavior has changed for the worse due to being overindulged or having no limits.

Now, think about a time when you had a favorite food, but it got left out too long and went bad. You know how it didn't taste as good as it should have? That's kind of like being "spoilt." Or does it make more sense if we talk about a friend who always gets what they want and acts like they own the world? Yeah, that's an example of someone being "spoilt" too! So, how does that make sense to you now?
