"die of" and "die from"

Anonymous · Apr 4, 2003

Hi,

Is there any significant difference between the two phrases "die of" and "die out"?

Thanks a lot

Yes :!:

A person can die of pneumonia.

Tribes, tribal customs, and populations can die out.

Just take a look at the diferences in the results that Google gives you for the two phrases:

die of - http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q="die+of"

die out - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q="die+out"

I hope that helps. :cheers:
