"Inhale" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
To breathe in, or take air into the lungs, especially deeply or vigorously.
An inhalant is a substance that is capable of being inhaled or taken into the lungs, often to induce a euphoric or intoxicating effect. Examples of inhalants include volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), such as acetone, paint thinner, and solvents, as well as gases like nitrous oxide and aerosol propellants. Inhalants are often used as a recreational drug, but they can also be dangerous and even fatal due to the risk of overdose, respiratory problems, and other complications.
The term "inhalation" refers to the act of breathing in, or the movement of air into the lungs. It is the opposite of exhalation, which is the act of breathing out. Inhalation is a vital process that enables us to take in oxygen from the air and exchange it with carbon dioxide, which is then released through exhalation. In the context of medicine, inhalation can also refer to the process of administering medication or other substances through inhalation, such as administering asthma medication or anesthetic gases.
To inhale means to take air into the lungs, especially through the nose or mouth. It is the process of breathing in. It can also be used figuratively to describe taking in or absorbing knowledge, ideas, or inspiration. For example: "She inhales deeply, centering herself before the exam."
