According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “Wild” is defined as (of an animals plant) living or growing in the natural environment; not domesticated or cultivated. They also define “wild” as uninhabited, uncultivated, or inhospitable. On the other hand, the Merriam-Webster definition of wild is “growing or produced without human aid or care.” To add, the Cambridge dictionary also contains similar definitions such as \u201cuncontrolled, violent, or extreme.\u201d They also give the definition of \u201cwild\u201d that is used in slang. The definition is \u201cvery unusual, often in a way that is attractive or exciting.” In all these English dictionaries, they aim to describe wild as something that is \u201canimal-like\u201d. They define wild to be undomesticated and violent. In Spanish, no word correctly translates the word “wild.” The closest translation would be \u201cSalvaje\u201d. However, “Salvaje” is also translated to “savage” in English. The Spanish dictionary also defines wild as undomesticated, untamed, and feral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0 \u00a0It is interesting to see how many different words are used to describe \u201cwild.\u201d All these definitions use similar words to explain what wild is. I say that for the most part, it is correct, and I have used the word wild as each definition states. I say wild is defined as something bizarre and unnatural to society. It is something that is yet accepted by people or may not be comprehended yet. In English, the world wild is used frequently to describe something out of the ordinary. Also, I say many young people use the word \u201cwild\u201d in a slang way. It is used to describe something that is\u201d crazy but cool\u201d. However, although in Spanish we use the word similarly, it is more extreme and less commonly used. It’s used to describe something cruel or vicious and mostly something that comes from the forest or mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
