© www.practicus.co.kr Word of the Day – Adamant Transcript Hi everyone.  Today's word of the day is  adamant.   Adamant means to be insistent upon  something.  It's characterized as being persistent, unyielding, sometimes even stubborn.   And we use  this to describe a person's actions when they continually do something.  One example could be, “The senator adamantly opposed the national bill to cut teachers' salaries.  He argued if the  bill passed it would deter students from pursuing jobs in education and eventually lead to a decline in  quality education.”    So in this way, adamant was used as an adverb: adamantly opposed.   Another way you can use adamant in a less serious way is in this way,   “The little boy was adamant about getting a robot for Christmas leaving pictures of robots all  over the house so that his mom would be sure to take the hint.”   In this way, the word adamant means determined, stubborn, and there's a tad bit of annoyance.    So, he's so adamant, he's so stubborn, that he leaves pictures all over the house and in this sentence it  could mean or signify that he's creating a bit of annoyance for this mother.   Thank you for listening for today's word of the day.  I hope you can use  adamant in your  everyday lives.  You can see the script is at Practicus.co.kr.  Have a good day.
