Word of the Day - Admonish

[Bretrick]

Admonish - To reprimand someone firmly
I was admonished by my Grandmother when I appeared at the breakfast table unshaven.

Admonish - To advise someone to do something
My father would admonish me to give my utmost when doing exams at school.

 

[Kaila]

Sometimes when a person has been admonished too harshly and too often as a child, by others,
they continue to admonish themselves, too much, even as an adult.

 

[Ruthanne]

My parents were harsh with their admonishments.
