Chewed Meaning in English
word · lemma: chew
释义
'Chewed' is the past tense and past participle of 'chew', meaning something has been bitten and ground with the teeth. It often refers to food that someone has already broken down with their teeth.
用法与细微差别
Mostly used for food, often in passive voice or as an adjective ('chewed gum', 'half-chewed'). Can also describe something that looks crushed or damaged by chewing. Not used for swallowing—'chew' is before 'swallow'. 'Chewed out' is a phrasal verb meaning 'scolded', but has a different sense.
