| Phrase | dove |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "dove" means a medium-sized white bird that is viewed as a symbol of peace, especially when shown with the branch of an olive tree in its beak (the mouth of a bird): "It is common for doves to be released after a wedding, when the newly married husband and wife walk out of the church." As a verb, "dove" is the past tense of "to dive," or to jump into the water: "Karl dove into the water to rescue the little girl who was drowning." The verb "to dovetail" means to fit together very nicely, or for two things to complement each other: "That idea dovetails nicely with what Adam proposed last week." Finally, a "dovetail" is the point where two pieces of wood are fastened together by careful shaping, without using a nail or screw: "Have you seen the beautiful dovetails on this dresser?" |
