PICKY
Do you know this word? It comes from the verb "to pick" meaning "to choose". For example;
Hurry up and pick something so we can all order!
When you add Y to words in English you can make them into casual adjectives.
pick ----> pickY
rock ----> rockY
luck ----> luckY
Picky means you are very particular about your choices. You only want X and nothing else.
A: Here's your salad.
B: Huh, what's this? This isn't arugula!
A: Sorry, I only have romaine lettuce.
B: Well then I'm not eating it, I only eat arugula.
A: Wow, you're really picky.
The most common synonym is choosy. You might also hear finicky or fussy. BUT these are usually used to talk about KIDS!
C: What do you want for dinner?
D: Anything's fine, I'm not picky.
Have a nice week!
