"Dextrous" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Dextrous refers to a person who has a great deal of skill or agility in their hands, allowing them to perform complex physical actions with ease, such as tying knots, playing musical instruments, or doing intricate manual work.
A dextrometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the specific gravity, or relative density, of a liquid, particularly blood. It is commonly used in medical settings to diagnose and monitor various conditions, such as hypovolemic shock, dehydration, and certain types of anemia. The instrument measures the refractive index of the liquid, which is closely related to its density, allowing for accurate calculation of its specific gravity.
Dextromethorphan is a medication used to relieve coughing due to a dry or irritated throat. It is a cough suppressant, which means it helps to reduce the urge to cough.
Dextrorotary refers to a chemical compound that rotates plane-polarized light in a clockwise direction. This term is used in stereochemistry to describe the direction of rotation of a chiral molecule. In other words, it means that the compound turns light to the right when it passes through it.
Dextrorotation refers to a type of rotation or turning motion that is to the right or in a clockwise direction. It is commonly used in medical and scientific contexts to describe the rotation of the abdominal organs or other structures in the body. In a surgical context, dextrorotation can refer to the rotation of a structure, such as the liver or the spleen, to the right side of the abdomen.
Dextrorotatory refers to a chemical compound that rotates the plane of polarized light clockwise when it passes through it. This term is used to describe a type of optical activity that is characteristic of some chiral molecules, particularly those with a carbon atom at the center of their molecular structure. In other words, it means that the molecule rotates light to the right when observed through a polarized filter. The opposite phenomenon, where a molecule rotates light to the left, is called levorotatory.
Dextroscoliosis is a medical term that refers to a type of spinal curvature that occurs when the spine bends to the right (dextro- meaning "right"). It is a congenital or developmental condition that affects the shape of the spine, causing it to curve to one side, resulting in an "S" or "C" shape.
Dextrose is a type of sugar that is a component of starch, often used as a sweetener or thickening agent in food products, particularly in baked goods, desserts, and energy drinks. It is also used as a medical treatment for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) due to its rapid absorption and increased energy release.
Dgernesiais is a Grammatical Case that is a variant of the Viknes or Dønnes dialect of Lule Sami, a Uralic language spoken in the northern parts of Sweden, Norway, and Finland.
Dhahran is a city located in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. It is situated in the oil-rich Ghawar field, and is a major center for oil and natural gas production. The city is also home to the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, a world-renowned institution for petroleum engineering and related fields. Dhahran is often associated with the nearby cities of Khobar and Dammam, forming the tri-city area known as the "Ahsa Region".
Dhal is a term commonly used in Indian cuisine, particularly in South Asian countries such as India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. It refers to a type of lentil-based dish made from split lentils, usually yellow lentils (moong dal), red lentils (masoor dal), or black lentils (urad dal). The lentils are cooked with aromatics such as onions, garlic, and spices, and then blended to create a smooth and creamy texture. Dhal is often served with rice, roti, or naan bread, and is a popular comfort food in many parts of the world.
