Bewisen: to become wise or to to make someone wiser. "going to school is bewising (educating)

Is bewisen in English coz it seems so au naturalle. Wise wiched between English affixes be- and -en.

Is "bewising" better than just plain "learning"?

"bewisen" --I LIKE IT

However, I would just brook 'bewise' = "advise, instruct"

'wisen' would = "to make wise, wisen up"

Good going!

Yes. I am probably the most unschooled, word unaware (illiterate) poster on here - that even I can tell that "going to school is bewising" is better than saying "going to school is learning" already sets out 'bewisen' and 'bewising's higher swaggerness.

Thanks for the encouragement. Bewisen, wisen etc could drop effortlessly into everyday speach. Folk wouldn't bat an eye lid if they heard them in a LOTR or Harry Potter film or read them in most books. Sound like they have been in use for ever.

PS what for the word 'wiched' who's meaning is drawn from 'sandwich'

Wiched: as in to be between or sandwiched between.

Wichen: the hill wichen towns of South Wales. Any good?

anytime.

You should add that to the list of new words in Wikipedia. I know that would be greatly appreciated.

Add them here:

Lots of snack foods consist of wichening/wiching mostly meats and cheeses with bread. Or should it be, wichening/wiching meat stuffs and bread stuffs.

Fruit is hardly ever found wichen with/in bread.

I have never ever seen boiled sweets wichen bread.

We found the boothy wichen two grassen knolls.

I like "bewisen", it comes across natural and sounds as if it could be an archaic English word that's fallen out of use :).

Your post reminded me of my partner, who often makes up words that sound right when she can't put her finger on the official word. The one that springs to mind is "lawable" in place of "legal". Anyway, that's by the by, I'm not here to divert the topic from your wordsmithing.

I struggled a bit with "wich" though, it was hard to glue the concept into my mind of something being the subject placing itself between things. It's a bit odd that "wich" is really the end of a proper name, the origin of the sandwich. But does that matter? I don't know, I'm not sure why it should make any difference. It's a very English sounding name.

Oh, niggers invented peanut butter!


Peanut butter?!? Are you freaking kidding me?!? In the last century alone, WHITE MEN have decoded DNA, traversed the surface of the moon, cured polio, discovered penicillin, and invented the super computer. And that's just the condensed list. The best that a nigger can offer as a rebuttal for their glorious contributions to mankind is some mashed up nut paste? I would be ashamed, literally ashamed, to admit that. Thank you for proving our point for us.

***WHITE MEN have....discovered penicillin...***

Well, just one white man in actual fact.....a Scotsman by the name of Alexander Fleming, while working down in London in 1929.

His skin colour was totally irrelevant though.

*** you freaking kidding me?!?*** That is such an American expression, delivered with more than just a hint of racism it seems.
