to think about good memories; to think about good things from the past

I could not sleep last night. I just laid in bed awake reminiscing about my childhood.

I met my friends tonight, who I had not seen in a long time, and we reminisced about high school.

Sometimes I just sit and reminisce about all the fun I had with my parents when we traveled to New York.

to express pleasure to (a person), as on a happy occasion

I heard you graduated from college. I just wanted to call and congratulate you!

That’s really great you helped to win the basketball game. Congratulations!

I thought we should do something to congratulate everyone who got a high score on the CET-6 exam.

I’m so happy you had a baby! Congratulations!

money given for a specific purpose money given on a regular basis

When I was a kid, my parents gave me an allowance of 3 dollars every week.

When I went to Atlanta for a business meeting, my boss gave me an allowance of 50 dollars a day for food.

I wish I could go to see the Sex and the City movie, but I already spent my allowance for this week.

The allowances they gave us traveling to Beijing were not enough. We ran out of money the first day.

someone who fails at everything, or does not try to succeed; a very lazy person

All he does is sit around all day watching TV. That guy is a real loser.

He lies and steals from people every chance he gets. He has always been a loser.

I really don’t like hanging out with losers who don’t even try to take care of their own kids.

to do someone a big favor; to help someone do something very difficult

You saved my life when I was drowning. You really did me a solid!

Since you know the owner of that store, could you do me a solid and help me get a job there?

I really appreciate when you did me a solid and walked my dog while I was traveling out of town.
