Did Redwall teach you any new words?

[Lily]

Definitely! I started reading Redwall quite young, so it had a huge part in developing my vocabulary. I still bring out the dictionary occasionally to remind myself what a certain word means. I couldn't tell you exactly which words I learnt from Redwall, but it was certainly quite a few.

I didn't know what the heck a stoat was, or a pine marten, or a polecat. I think Redwall really improved my vocabulary.

[Redwall Musician]

I learned many words. Some I knew what they were, but I didn't know how to use them in a sentence. I learned many words for food, and many different types of food.

[Log-a-Log]

Yeah, almost all of the foods in Redwall were new to me before I started reading them

[Skalrag of Marshank]

O.K., damson, habit, scoff, tucker, vittles, etc. Mostly words having to do with food.

[DanielofRedwall]

Lots of weapons, like rapiers and pikes and stuff. I'm learning heaps from the Rogue Crew, because of the fortunate freepaws! They like big words!

[Tiria Wildlough]

'Leveret', and 'vulpine'.
Also, I think I learned the meaning of 'scoff'. It wasn't very hard to guess, though.

Yesterday, I came across "cynical", "sibilant", and"paraphernalia". I was too lazy to find a dictionary, so I asked my dad.

I used to do that, too. XD Dads know just about everything, don't they?

Vittles is a good one - now all y'all mentioned it, that was a new one for me. And victuals. And "score," as in counting - for the longest time I couldn't figure out what the characters meant when they said something like, "there's five score vermin out there!"

Yeah, for a while I couldn't figure out what a score was

[Skalrag of Marshank]

What is a score, anyways?

[Matthias720]

A score = 20.

O.K. thanks!!!

[Wot Wot!]

"Halcyon" as in "it was a halcyon day" was in Taggerung.  It means calm and peaceful.  You pronounce it hal-SEE-uhn.

I love the terms used by the Long Patrol.  "bit of nip n' tuck" is one of my favorites.

Also learned what a claymore was...

[Skalrag of Marshank]

Whay is a claymore?
