Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: We walked along the cliffs and the sea spray was blowing right into our faces.
Speaker B: Lovely image — sea spray, that fine mist of droplets thrown up by the waves.
Speaker A: Exactly. Then at home I had to spray the houseplants — they were looking dry.
Speaker B: That's the verb sense — to spray, to scatter water in a fine mist.
Speaker A: And I got a beautiful spray of flowers for the table.
Speaker B: Ah, the other meaning — a spray as a small arranged bunch of flowers or foliage.
Speaker A: So many senses. What's the difference between spray and splash?
Speaker B: A splash is a single burst of liquid. Spray is a fine, scattered mist of many tiny drops.
Speaker A: So a wave splashes the rocks, but it throws up spray.
Speaker B: Precisely. And spray is close to mist too.
Speaker A: How do those differ?
Speaker B: Mist is fine droplets that hang in the air. Spray is droplets actively thrown or pushed out.
