help for the word "rejuvenate"
Hello teachers,
Please help me with the following examples.
1. " I revere you from the core of my heart" is this the right statement? If not please correct this for me.
2. " One of the best exercise to practice pronounciation is to put in a bucket over your head & say whatever you read aloud. This exervise will help you to listen to the reviberation of your voice". Did I use reviberation correctly here?
3. "Doing little exercise everyday helps us to rejuvenate " Did I use rejuvenate correctly?
4. "After facial, I feel rejuvenated." Is this a right statement?
Thank You.
Jhon.

Re: help for the word "rejuvenate"
* One of the best + (plural) exercises
* It's revibration not reviberation
* When used without object rejuvenate means something like becoming young again. It sounds good to me. The same for the last sentence.
I'm neither a native speaker nor a teacher.

You have over complicated a simple message of affection. 'Revere' is used as a sign of respect and affection for someone at a distance, certainly not someone you know personally. It is not commonly used in modern society.
There are a number of ways of putting this, here are some.
a) I love you from the bottom of my heart. (passionate)
b) I love you deep down. (more camaraderie, but could be passionate)
c) I love and respect you, deeply. (affectionate and famillial)
d) I admire you from afar. (distant)
2. " One of the best exercise to practice pronounciation is to put in a bucket over your head & say whatever you read aloud. This exervise will help you to listen to the reviberation of your voice". Did I use reviberation correctly here?
Reverberation
3. "Doing little exercise everyday helps us to rejuvenate " Did I use rejuvenate correctly?
Yes you did, but what you have said means the opposite.
Doing little exercise means you hardly do any.
Doing a little exercise means you are making an effort.
Strange how one letter can change the whole meaning
4. "After facial, I feel rejuvenated." Is this a right statement?
Again, 'after a facial'. A facial is a noun. Facial is an adjective, and is associated with facial confrontation or face to face.
Hope that has helped.
