"Mastiff" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
A mastiff is a large dog breed known for its sturdy build, wrinkled skin, and loyalty. Mastiffs are often used as guard dogs due to their protective instincts and powerful build.
To masticate means to chew food thoroughly, usually to break it down into smaller particles that can be easily digested. It can also refer to to consider or ponder something, as if one is "chewing on" an idea or thought.
