Text | The word "perfectly," in this podcast, is a word used to emphasize what one is saying: "This dinner is perfectly eatable, even if it is a little burnt." The phrase "picture-perfect" describes something that is beautiful, has the right appearance, and looks like it is supposed to look: "Their wedding was picture-perfect." The phrase "perfect pitch" describes the ability to sing or hum any note when asked, or to identify the note of any sound, without using an instrument: "Yumiko has perfect pitch, so she can tune a guitar without using a piano." Finally, the phrase "perfect timing" is used when something happens exactly when it should: "Oh, what perfect timing! You came into the meeting right when we were going to talk about your division." |
